🦠Pathogenic bacterium Pseudomonas aeruginosa breaches lung defenses by targeting mucus producing goblet cells! Intracellular P. aeruginosa may evade immune system and antibiotic treatment, thereby driving chronic infections @NCCR_AntiResist @IHB_Research doi.org/10.1038/s41564…

The phiKZ jumbo phages build a protein based nucleus to protect their DNA(!), but what do they do before the nucleus is built? Led by outstanding post-doc @MozumdarDeepto, here we identify host and phage proteins in an immediate early phage lipid vesicle. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

New prepint alert @themaxwelllab! 📢 📢 📢 Superinfection exclusion (Sie) proteins aren’t just for defence – they also ensure the spread of viral progeny! Prophages that lack Sie proteins devour their young via a process we call the Kronos effect. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

New year, new class of antibiotic - but the old model of reimbursement will kill it unless we change course. A new class of antibiotics is cause for cautious celebration — but the economics must be fixed nature.com/articles/d4158…

Story time: when I started my postdoc with @WatersLabMSU in August last year, we aimed to use V. cholerae to understand how genetic interactions, including epistasis and pleiotropy, influences its pathogenesis and evolution. 1/18

Why does Mycobacterium tuberculosis form cords? It's immediately apparent when viewing a bacterial culture growing without detergent under a microscope. Delighted to have led an interdisciplinary study to answer this puzzle (1/8) authors.elsevier.com/sd/article/S00…
