Excited to share our recent pre-print! The Vibrio cholerae encoded Nezha anti-phage system (SIR2-HerA) restricts virulent vibriophages ICP1, ICP2, and ICP3 by depleting NAD+ (Abi💀). However, an ICP1 isolate can overcome this by encoding putative NAD+ regenerating proteins! ⚡️

My lab at @UChicago_Micro is hiring! We are looking for a research tech to work with us studying mechanisms of bacterial stress response and pathogenesis. Would be a great opportunity for recent college grads looking for research experience. Please spread the word! Links below

Proud of work led by @GeoffreySeverin with @Tufts_NgLab and team. Also includes @CinnamonAHHH @hsueh_brian Chris Rhoades and Soo Yoon from my group. A true team collaboration (and I actually did some of the experiments myself 🧑‍🔬🦠)!

New #mBio paper led by @geoffseverin shows the CBASS anti-phage defense system of V. cholerae is activated by both quorum sensing and folate depletion. @VictorDiRita @WatersLabMSU @katiford_micro journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/mb…

Other than @KarinaXavierLab and @Biolluminator many Basslerites (@papenfortlab @Sampriti_M @NinaMolinHK @WatersLabMSU, Jing Yan, Brian Hammer), and many QS experts have contributed to this issue. Personal favorite is from @FuquaClay. Go check it out!

Summer reading: in this editorial together with @Biolluminator Julia Van Kessel and @Tufts_NgLab Wai-Leung we wrote our thoughts about Bonnie’s @Qsense career and our amazing journal through her lab onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ij…

I’m excited to announce that I will be joining @UChicago_Micro as an Assistant Professor this Fall! My lab will explore how nosocomial pathogens are transmitted, with a focus on the mechanisms (bacterial and host) driving spread of Acinetobacter in hospitals.

Like CBASS, Ddm could defend against phage attack with an abortive infection mechanism (see nature.com/articles/s4158… by @MBlokesch's Lab). It makes perfect sense that QS is used to foster an altruistic behavior to achieve population-wide protection (2/2)

This is again a wonderful collaboration with @WatersLabMSU and @GeoffreySeverin and many others! Not only quorum sensing regulates CBASS, @Hydroxide_ion shows that QS also transcriptionally activates another anti-phage system Ddm in V. cholerae: journals.plos.org/plosgenetics/a… (1/2)

We just posted a new @biorxivpreprint led by @GeoffreySeverin that shows the CBASS anti-phage defense system of V. cholerae is activated by both quorum sensing and folate depletion! 1/ biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
