This animation video explains our proof of concept study on #CompetitionSensing and its impact on #AntibioticTolerance. Recently published in Current Biology sciencedirect.com/science/articl… -with Kevin Foster

Professorship Opportunity at KU Leuven! Join us as a Professor in Food Microbiology at KU Leuven, Belgium. We're seeking researchers with expertise in food microbiology to lead innovative research and teaching in food science: bit.ly/4nzX1gV #FoodMicrobiology #KULeuven

@MurrayTipping @KarineGibbsPhD @CurrentBiology Thank you to @MurrayTipping and @KarineGibbsPhD for writing this very clear perspective on our @CurrentBiology paper on bacterial competition sensing. Fabulous!

This animation video explains the concept behind the evolutionary robustness of the anti-biofilm strategy we recently published nature.com/articles/s4146…

Ook bacteriën werken samen. Zoals een beschermende slijmlaag maken (bv tandplak). @KU_Leuven wetenschapper @HansSteenackers gebruikte dit sociaal gedrag als doelwit voor een nieuwe vorm van antibacteriële therapie waarbij er geen resistentie optreed🦠💀 👉bit.ly/KULeuvenAntibi…

Behandelingen die de samenwerking van bacteriën tegengaan, kunnen het probleem van antibioticaresistentie mee oplossen, ontdekten @HansSteenackers en zijn collega's 👇 bit.ly/2RhPOUa

I’m beyond excited to see our @NatureComms paper out! ‘Inhibiting bacterial cooperation is an evolutionarily robust anti-biofilm strategy’ Based on imidazole EPS inhibitors I started developing in 2008 and an inspiring research stay with Kevin Foster nature.com/articles/s4146…

Good moments in 2019: My first time teaching #sociomicrobiology to Bioscience Engineers @KU_Leuven. Based on great reviews by Martin Schuster, @prokaryota, @saramitri, @GhoulMelanie, @RolfsMicrobes and Kevin Foster and our #ASMCooperation meeting report

Good moments in 2019: #InternationalBiofilmSummit for #foodindustry Proud to give a talk on our last year’s ISME Journal paper on ‘Competitive interspecies interactions underlying antimicrobial tolerance in brewery biofilms’ nature.com/articles/s4139… #foodsafety #IBS2019 #biofilm

Good moments in 2019: Wonderful @Eurobiofilms conference in Glasgow. Thankful to give talks on #competition sensing (Bram Lories and @XabierVillanue1) and our #evolutionarily_robust #antibiofilm strategy (@HansSteenackers) micalab.be

Invited speaker Prof Hans Steenackers (micalab.be) talks about how individual #bacteria exploit public resources produced by others to ensure their own survival. This is part of a study on bacterial #competition and #cooperation's roles in #AntibioticResistance.
