Excited to share our new preprint on the detailed investigation of Type 4 pili in epibiont oral Saccharibacteria! Led by @GrossmanMicrbio from our lab @ForsythResearch, and with @JunLiuLab (Yale), @JMcLean_UW (UW) and @he_xuesong . Check it out: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

For the first time, scientists have performed targeted mutations on an episymbiosis-determining pathway. In a new study on Saccharibacteria, AFI researchers used advanced techniques to observe pili that drive motility and host attachment. forsyth.org/saccharibacter…

Excited to be presenting at the 3rd Annual Scientific Conference of the Society of Mongolian Researchers in the USA! 🇲🇳🧬 10/11-10/12 in DC. Open to all—please share or join if you're interested! #MongolianScience #ResearchCommunity #STEM mongolianresearchers.org/2025-annual-me…

We are thrilled to bring you Episode 1 of Ambush Science—an all-new AFI series where we conduct a “surprise" Q&A with our scientists so you can learn about their cutting edge research in oral health. Today’s episode features @BatbilegBor ! Learn more: forsyth.org/oral-micobiome/

We are making Balance Changes to some Hero Equipment ⚖️ These changes will go live in the upcoming February Update!

The enigmatic, ultrasmall and largely uncultivated Candidate Phyla Radiation bacteria represent a treasure trove of potential discoveries, argues this recent Perspective in PNAS🕵️👇 from the Mougous Lab @UW pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

Saccharibacteria deploy two distinct Type IV pili, driving episymbiosis, host competition, and twitching motility biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh… #biorxiv_micrbio

#ADANow: New research from @ForsythResearch uncovers key insights into hospital-acquired infections. Discover the findings and their implications here: social.ada.org/4dISXVK

Scientists at the ADA Forsyth Institute led by @BatbilegBor found that multidrug-resistant Klebsiella thrives in nutrient-deprived conditions often found in hospital environments. This could lead to better prevention and treatment strategies. Read more: forsyth.org/scientists-ide…

New publication is out in @MicrobiomeJ ! The next chapter of our Klebsiella story. Collaboration with @BatbilegBor @he_xuesong labs. @OHSUNews @ForsythResearch #microbiome microbiomejournal.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…

Interested in studying microbial mixed-species biofilms utilizing super-resolution confocal microscopy? Our group is looking for a research assistant to manage these experiments! Will also help manage day-to-day tasks in the lab as well. Apply here - osu.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/OSUCareers/job…

The opening session of our 9th Conference on Beneficial Microbes has started. Our talks in collaborative art form! #BeneficialMicrobesMtg

We are excited to share our work on colonizing oral opportunistic pathogens. Here we looked at the impact of low prevalence, high impact oral pathogens like Klebsiella. Authors: @JettLiu_ @bajenak @GrossmanMicrbio @jonbakerlab @he_xuesong. Full article: rdcu.be/dOoxV

We love seeing AFI microbiologists @JMarkWelch, @he_xuesong, @BatbilegBor, and Gary Borisy featured in this fascinating NIDCR article about microbes in the oral cavity. Get the full article below. Featured image by @JMarkWelch.

Three’s a crowd: Saccharibacteria episymbiosis modulates phage predation of host bacteria | PNAS pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn… commentary by Richard Lamont on our recent collabarative work @BatbilegBor @JMcLean_UW @putingdong @LujiaC @ForsythResearch

Excited to share our work: Episymbiotic Saccharibacteria TM7x modulates the susceptibility of its host bacteria to phage infection and promotes their coexistence @JMcLean_UW @BatbilegBor @putingdong @ForsythResearch @JunLiuLab | PNAS pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

Our study on TM7 and its host protection against the phage is out! I guess parasites don't like to share their hosts!

My lab is looking for a research assistant. Please feel free to repost. Thanks!😊
