1/ New preprint! We discovered that Bacteroidales in the gut microbiome can metabolize exogenous DNA 🧬 —turning genetic material into usable nutrients.

Pleased to share that our lab was recently featured in a great piece, highlighting our work on understanding the gut microbiome.
Huge thanks to the Inside the Lab team for putting this together and for capturing the essence of what drives our research.
In their paper, @deeptisharan311 and @eecchemistry study the selectivity of several β-lactam antibiotics for individual penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) in Streptococcus pneumoniae and report different selectivities of the different β-lactams. (10/11) https://t.co/nMpBCiOz6j

The science is clear – fighting #antibioticresistance demands an ongoing supply of novel #antibiotics. But every approved #antibiotic in use today is based on discoveries from before 1985. https://t.co/VFkWwYK3jJ
