@UAB_ID @UABPulmonary @UABMicrobiology. Omics, Epi and Mol Micro investigation of potential bacterial pathogen propagation among at-risk hosts.

This @volatilebug lab collab with @LauraMarks5 showcases a Research Approach integrated into the Calix Lab: integrating clinical isolate NGS and patient metadata to examine hypotheses regarding the microbiology and epidemiology of modern day infections.

Our hypothesis-driven investigation of the epidemiology and microbiology of IV drug use-associated S aureus infections, combining clinical data and NGS of clinical isolates. Hopefully the first of many #IDcollabs with @LauraMarks5.

January is going to be big month. We are onboarding: 1 postdoc; 2 rotation students; and 1 research tech. Time to get the Acinetobacter wing rolling!

[Mario Feldman @MarioFeldman9]

After a super productive post-doc in my lab @lenghung8825 will soon return to France. So I need to hire a new post-doc who will have big shoes to fill! (no pressure). Here is the ad. If you are interested in investigating Acinetobacter pathogenesis please apply!
Please RT.

Happy to share my latest work in @MarioFeldman9 lab . We discovered a bifunctional PGase effector in A. baumannii that can digest the CW of both Gram (-) and (+) bacteria. Big thanks to co-author @JuvenalLopez20 and collaborators at @FelipecavaM lab.

It's a hand-me-down, but this puppy is certified and ready to host BSL-2 microbes. Thanks to longtime mentor #MoonNahm in @UABPulmonary for this big step towards full functionality. Now lets complete those MTAs!

OK, we're now open for business. IBC-approved for Acinetobacter and pneumococcal work. #MicrobiologyLab @UAB_ID @UABPulmonary @UABMicrobiology
