Beyond excited that our manuscript on bac7(1-35) disruption of K. pneumoniae biofilms has been published in @PLOS pathogens! journals.plos.org/plospathogens/…

@DavidAaronRosen Congratulations Shantal!!!

So proud of Shantal! Now the fun part begins…

@TaniaWong88 Congratulations 🎉

Truly honored and thankful to receive an R35 MIRA grant from NIGMS - grateful for the support and the opportunity to pursue our research on diet-mediated immunometabolic responses in the context of infectious diseases.

Our review on disulfide formation is out! Since the discovery the DSB system ~35 years ago, we have made great steps in understanding its role in processes like virulence and #AMR. In loving memory of my supervisor Stuart Ferguson. @nikikaderabkova Link: #sec0037" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Surface display library day at @UCF We are excited to clone our peptide library into colistin resistant Kleb @KlebClub 😊 Pictured here is Christina DeBarro and Gaby Echeverria getting ready to collect colonies!

@HaiderSManzer Congratulations Haider! Great to see you killin it!!

I’m extremely honored to be included with this amazing group of scientists as a recipient of the 2025 BWF PDEP award!

So excited to be in Vienna for #ESCMID2025 where I will be giving a talk on how our peptides can disrupt K. pneumoniae biofilms. If you are around this Tuesday come check it out!!!

Great weekend at #FLASM2025! I was so pleased to see my students work was well received! They were so excited to present their work!

Our study appearing in @NatureComms showing the importance of the T6SS of Klebsiella pneumoniae in gut colonization. We combined tn-seq with metagenomics and identified new microbiota targets and T6SS regulators. nature.com/articles/s4146…

I'm excited to announce our latest publication! We teamed up with @KHullahalli to barcode Klebsiella and ask basic questions about bacteremia pathogenesis: 1) how are bacteria shared between sites and 2) which host and bacterial factors influence dynamics? nature.com/articles/s4146…

Bacterial warfare is always so amazing!

It’s that time again! If you are interested in Klebsiella pneumoniae this is the seminar series to attend! So excited to see what this year will bring!!

@parasite_doc @Nature_NPJ @EpiDemiLogos @OlayaRendueles Thank you Dennis 😊

@FleemanLab @Nature_NPJ @EpiDemiLogos @OlayaRendueles Congrats Renee!

Check out our latest publication aligning the MRSN panel biofilm and mucoid phenotypes to the genotypes in @Nature_NPJ Biofilms and Microbiomes! Special thanks to my collaborators on this work @EpiDemiLogos and @OlayaRendueles !! nature.com/articles/s4152…

Interested in a meaningful postdoc evaluating vaccine efficacy in a variety of murine models? Consider applying to join us @WUSTL @WashUMedPedsID @KlebClub wustl.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/External…

@HuigensRob Thanks Rob !!

Outstanding work here!

Check out the most recent advances by the de la Fuente group using AI to change the face of antimicrobial discovery!

Our latest publication is out! journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/jb… Lots of hard work from @AlexaGannon here, and the best bit is we get to celebrate at her PhD graduation this Friday 🥳 If you like Pseudomonas and aggregate biofilms take a look! #pseudomonas #aggregates #CF #proudPI

🚨We have a "Scientist" position in my lab at @StJude 👉This position is stable and not dependent on external funding. 🗒️Ideally, the candidate holds a PhD in Microbiology or related and +3 years exp. post PhD. See details in ad. Please kindly retweet! talent.stjude.org/careers/jobs/J…

Not long ago, discovering antibiotics meant painstakingly purifying compounds from sources like soil—a process longer than earning a PhD, often with limited success. Years ago, we envisioned that by treating biology as an information source and mining it with advanced algorithms, we could revolutionize antibiotic discovery. In my @PLOSBiology article, I summarize our progress over the past 5+ years. Today, my lab can discover hundreds of thousands of new antibiotic molecules in just a few hours—on a computer.
