E. faecalis lactic acid suppresses macrophages Enterococcus faecalis-derived lactic acid suppresses macrophage NF-κB activation via MCT-1 & GPR81. This lactic-acid-driven immunosuppression promotes bacterial persistence & polymicrobial infection cell.com/cell-host-micr…






New #mBio study by @JorgeEVidal1 et al. unveils how #Streptococcus pneumoniae H₂O₂ inhibits TCA cycle enzymes, triggering a #Warburg-like shift in lung cells that accumulates nutrients for Spn survival. A groundbreaking link to cancer metabolism! doi.org/10.1128/mbio.0…

Check out the recent @BioCyc release, which also includes newly curated Tier 2 databases for Enterococcus faecalis V583 and OG1RF. A big shoutout to @KimInGeneva and @josealemos for their guidance in navigating enterococcal research!




The latest preprint from the lab is up. Here we asked how the cell responds when pilus biogenesis goes off the rails in E. faecalis. 😱 Come for the chaperone/protease action, stay for the WEIRD morphologies & two component system induction. 👇




⏰ Abstract submission deadline alert for #EMBOEvoEco 🧑🤝🧑🌳 You only have a few days left to send your abstract. The deadline is 10 July: ➡️ s.embl.org/eae24-01 Don't miss out on the opportunity to be part of innovative discussions and discoveries! 🌟



In our ongoing efforts to understand Enterococcal pathogenesis in wound infections, we teamed up with @_cenk and @ThibaultLab to dissect the host response at single cell resolution. New insights abound! 👇🤩
