Microbiologist, works on Staphylococcus aureus, quorum sensing, evolution and virulence. Views are my own. I don't always wear the flat cap.

M. smegmatis uses new types of biofilm to enclose a liquid core and expand outwards in a weird new way.

Artistic interpetation of a fluorescently tagged comet... Happy to talk to people about the S. aureus comet motility assay, if they need help with it etc

S. aureus organises itself differently in motile comet tips and can go uphill

@PulpLibrarian This badger book may be one of the earliest references to the study of bacterial communication (by mistake...)

Today in pulp: the searing, evocative power of a well crafted opening sentence!
For this thread I will draw my examples from the greatest writer* in the English language: the Reverend Lionel Fanthorpe.

1/8 Are you interested in knocking genes out in adult zebrafish? If so, you should read our new preprint! Our new ~ubiquitous ubbR:CreERT2 driver enables gene knockout in adult #zebrafish hearts with efficiency approaching 100%. Yes, we quantified it. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

We hope that many of its features can be utilised to understand morphology beyond the walls of the developing heart - so take it for a whirl, and let us know how you get on.

The preprint describing the software, and how we used it to analyse zebrafish heart morphogenesis, are on bioRxiv tinyurl.com/mvjd45ze, while morphoHeart itself is available on GitHub github.com/jsanchez679/mo…

morphoHeart is live! @J_SanchezPosada developed software for 3D visualisation and morphometric analysis of the heart including negative space segmentation of cardiac ECM volume. All packaged up into a handy GUI. #morphometrics #zebrafish

A wee 2024 reminder that I'm looking for a job. Ideally it would be in the UK or Ireland (Scotland would be the dream). Please give me a heads-up if you have an opening coming up or know someone who has. You can check out my interests & CV at rosssmcinnes.github.io Cheers! 😃
Dr Ross McInnes@roscobacterium
My time at Birmingham will very sadly be ending in March. If you're looking for a dashingly handsome, well-spoken postdoc, that's not me, but I can do wet and dry lab ([functional]genomics, metagenomics, RNAseq) work in Gram-positives (especially Enterococcus) so keep me in mind.

A real paradigm shift from Astrid Hendriks and @N_van_sorge on how to understand adaptive immunity to S. aureus
IgM (not IgG) to wall teichoic acids predicts protection vs mortality in bacteremia—IgM superior in promoting opsonophagocytosis, including as a monoclonal therapeutic
Nina van Sorge@N_van_sorge
Did you ever wonder about the role of IgM in host defense against Staphylococcus aureus? In this preprint, we identify opsonic IgM to be critical for human immunity to S. aureus. Potential implications for antibody-based therapies and vaccines. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
