Our work is out now in @jclinicalinvest! Check it out 👇

Thank you to the TEAM with members from the Shopsin Lab, @TorresVJ_Lab and @PirontiLab, and support from @nyugrossman and #NIH #NIAID

A community-acquired #MRSA strain emerged ~2009 in Brooklyn, New York that has become a major cause of skin infections in the US.

@robulrichID & team @nyugrossman now discover a prophage-encoded methyltransferase that increases bacterial virulence by promoting biofilm formation in a mouse infection model: https://t.co/8A9qG6YSss

The figure shows the effect of phage adenine methyltransferase on biofilms from mouse skin abscesses after infection with S. aureus strains empty vector or pamA, stained with DAPI (blue) and 5-methylcytosine (green).

@TBrnaughtTB Not sure of cost, but ask @SWeisenberg, NYU has a travel clinic!

@DGlaucomflecken Welcome to New York!

@slipperyvillain @SciImmunology @RaminHerati COVID "infx primed" (no prior vax) durably imprints CD4 T-cells differently than "vax-primed": infx primed CD4s have distinct inflammatory and cytotoxic gene signatures, epigenetic landscape + reduced proliferation relative to vax primed CD4s even 2yr after exposure!!

[Robert Ulrich @robulrichID]

A fantastic study about the inflammatory signature in #Tcells after #covid in @SciImmunology by @RaminHerati lab! Check it out 👇

Spike-specific memory #CD4 #TCells established by #SARSCoV2 infection have a durable transcriptional and epigenetic inflammation signature. @nyugrossman

I was honored to talk about our #MRSA and #phage work at @nyugrossman department of medicine research day. Thanks @glennfishman for the invitation!

[Division of Infectious Diseases & Immunology (ID) @NYUGSOM_ID]

#MedicineResearchDay: Dr. Ulrich @robulrichID delivered a wonderful presentation yesterday on his work on #Staphylococcus aureus!!! 🏅He was one of the featured speakers!

🆔 was strongly represented! 👏

@TBrnaughtTB The futility/frustrations/straight up time wasted of what seems to be an increasing number of consults might be a contributor here...🤔

[Robert Ulrich @robulrichID]

@TBrnaughtTB The ID pharmD are the BEST

[Robert Ulrich @robulrichID]

Our preprint 📣 @biorxivpreprint! We describe how a prophage-encoded methyltransferase from an epidemic S. aureus USA300 strain increases virulence. 👇 @MagdaPodkowik, @tkkaragounis, @TorresVJ_Lab, @PirontiLab, @Keenan__Lacey, @Irnov_I @ChunyiZ287 + others https://t.co/O7BmvDSHpL

@Irnov_I @biorxivpreprint @MagdaPodkowik @tkkaragounis @TorresVJ_Lab @PirontiLab @Keenan__Lacey @ChunyiZ287 Thanks Irnov, we couldn't have done it without your cloning expertise...

@TBrnaughtTB Agree with most that LTD is essential. Most employer/group policies have a lot of exceptions, so be careful if you just rely on that. Also agree with you, that ID has a high bar for disabling injury. So, we should have significantly lower premiums, unclear if that's true.

[Robert Ulrich @robulrichID]

@MagdaPodkowik So amazing, keep it up!!!

@NYUGSOM_ID @BellevueHosp Congrats Robert!

@BLimaMicro @PaulSaxMD At my first staph conference, I literally got made fun of by the other lab members for wearing a blazer to an event 😆 🤣
