Out now: the story of how gut bacteria-derived SCFAs regulate the virulence characteristics of Candida albicans 😇👿 Read our latest review led by Chris McCory @chrismccro (and catch up with him at #HFP2024): #secst0015" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">cell.com/trends/microbi…

📢We're excited to announce that the deadline for abstract submissions for the Indo-Pacific Future Leaders in #AMR Online Student Symposium has been extended to January 10, 2025. docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI… 🚨Registrations are also open: eventbrite.com/e/indo-pacific…

AMR symposium

🔵It’s Day 2 of #WAAW2024! We need to educate stakeholders & policymakers on the drivers of #AMR. Some biocides/antimicrobial ingredients banned in various jurisdictions, such as the EU and U.S., are still found in Australian household products Read more:monash.edu/impact-amr/cas…

@WHO’s Fungal Priority Pathogens List is the first global effort to prioritize fungal pathogens by public health importance. The list guides global research & the public health response to fungal infections & #AntimicrobialResistance. Learn more: bit.ly/3ACTGcK #USAAW24

Virus lurking in Merri Creek is a slick superbug killer that could save millions #phage #AMR nice one @TrevorLithgow @MonashResearch @MonashBDI @mbiojournal theage.com.au/environment/co…

My group is recruiting a postdoc to study how environmental interactions shape the virulence of human fungal pathogens. Please RT! #postdocjobs #academicjobs #microbiologyjobs

🎉Congratulations to @TrevorLithgow for winning the @Monash_FMNHS Dean's Awards for Excellence in Equity, Diversity & Inclusion! His activities through our Centre created meaningful Indigenous engagement in research and showcased the microbial diversity of Wurundjeri country!

✨In case you missed it✨, we hosted engaging activities for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students during #NationalScienceWeek @Aus_ScienceWeek🥼 Follow the link to find out more about the day's activities: monash.edu/impact-amr/cas…

Profiling fungal genes expressed in infected organs is important for understanding how Candida albicans causes disease. In @mSphereJ: an approach to analyze spatiotemporal patterns of C. albicans gene expression at single-cell resolution in mouse tongues. asm.social/23l

The @WHO Fungal Priority Pathogens are on the loose! 🦠 Keep an eye out for expert reviews in #ClinMicroRev and #MMBRJournal. 📚🔍 Explore the ASM Journals Fungi’s Most Wanted Collection: asm.social/21N

#PhD Scholarship available to join the @LithgowLab @MACSYS to work on bacterial cell envelopes. The funding requires being local (Aus or NZ) students. If you know bacterial cell biology and love a bit of biochemistry with your microbiology, contact trevor.lithgow@monash.edu

Congratulations Sebastian and a sincere thank you to all our wonderful collaborators on this work - fantastic to see it published @mpm_hki @CyrilleBoyer61 @flamycain nature.com/articles/s4146…

Online OA now: Bacteria-derived short-chain fatty acids as potential regulators of fungal commensalism and pathogenesis Review by Christopher McCrory (@chrismccro), Megan Lenardon (@_doctormeg), and Ana Traven (@TravenLab) cell.com/trends/microbi…

Delighted to share our latest review! @TrendsMicrobiol From the nutritional environment, through metabolic pathways to changes in acylome dynamics, SCFAs influence the growth, metabolism, and virulence of C. albicans. But how? doi.org/10.1016/j.tim.… @TravenLab @_doctormeg
