Monitoring pathogens in wastewater

https://t.co/fkODAkK3Qf

Wastewater genomic surveillance can transform global viral disease monitoring. This Genome Watch article explores the techniques, analytical pipelines and implications for public health.

The most recent work of my post-doc at SMART, in the Chen (MIT) and Kline (Unige) Labs is out! https://t.co/KE6Zp8FQB5 Curious about how we can use repurposed compounds to target macrophages to clear infections? See the link for the article with our most recent example. 🧵👇🏻

E. coli senses S. aureus and upregulates colibactin production, which kills >99.99% of coinfecting Staph during wound coinfection.

[Sarah Coulthurst @SarahCoulthurs1]

We are recruiting for a post-doc to join an exciting project studying the role and molecular basis of inter-bacterial interactions mediated by the bacterial Type VI secretion system. We are a friendly lab in the world-class @UoDLifeSciences

Super excited abt our latest work, where we reconstituted lipid transfer & gained insights into the MlaFEDB complex, an ABC transporter in the OmpC-Mla system impt for bacterial OM lipid asymmetry. Massive work by Wen-Yi Low, supported by Shuhua Thong!

The human virome: assembly, composition and host interactions

https://t.co/H9GkoMRivx

Liang and Bushman review research on the human virome and highlight studies that explore the assembly and composition of the virome as well as host–virome interactions in health and disease.

UPDATE: We are proud to announce, along with @BioNTech_Group, that our mRNA-based #vaccine candidate has, at an interim analysis, demonstrated initial evidence of efficacy against #COVID19 in participants without prior evidence of SARS-CoV-2 infection.

[NTU Singapore @NTUsg]

A synthetic #peptide molecule developed by @NTUsg scientists makes drug-resistant bacteria vulnerable to antibiotics again. In combination with conventional antibiotics, it could be an effective treatment for antibiotic-tolerant infections. https://t.co/n6JYOpltJl @SCELSE_SG

T6SS: shoot and scrub

This study shows that T6SS-mediated killing of competitors is most effective if a lytic toxin is injected.
