I’m excited to share that this study I am first author from the lab of @KimInGeneva (three continents effort!) is out! E. faecalis-derived lactic acid suppresses macrophage activation, enabling persistent and polymicrobial wound infections.

Come join us!! We are hoping to craft an exciting scientific program based on the pool of applicants! :) make sure to apply early!

Hi Strep/Entero community! Registration and abstract submissions are now open for the Streptococcal Biology Gordon Research Seminar (GRS), August 1–2, 2026 in the beautiful Lucca, Italy!! Spots are filling out quickly so make sure you apply soon (: grc.org/streptococcal-…

The Streptococcal Biology GRC/GRS are open for applications. Acceptances are underway and the meeting is on track to fill up. If you’re aiming for a short talk (lots of slots), registering early is important for full consideration. Plz share widely! grc.org/streptococcal-…

My group at NUS has several fully funded PhD positions for the Fall 2025 and Spring 2026 admissions. Please apply by sending me (yunyanq@nus.edu.sg) your CV and a cover letter asap. Reposting is highly appreciated 🙏📷#PhD #phdoffer #phdpositions

@josealemos @KimInGeneva @Rosado_AS @ShawLabUSF Awesome!! Congratulations!!! 🥳

asm.org/Press-Releases… I'm truly honored for this recognition and super happy to be in the company of @KimInGeneva @Rosado_AS @ShawLabUSF and so many others highly accomplished microbiologists and immunologists.

Thrilled to share our work on E. faecalis in infective endocarditis! We reveal how loss of Fsr QS drives biofilm growth, antibiotic tolerance, and immune evasion in vivo—linking Fsr-deficient strains to prolonged bacteremia in endocarditis patients.

Also, I am more active (ish) on bluesky these days. Let's find each other there: @ronni.bsky.social

Getting the spiderwebs out to excitedly share our new work @KimInGeneva lab. We studied how Enterococci use lactic acid to suppress the inflammatory response and promote virulence. biorxiv.org/content/10.110… It is now under review, stay tuned for a revised version when published.=)

We have a fully funded PhD scholarship for Aug 2025 intake. If you are interested in joining our research group, please check the admission requirement on the website and contact us. ntu.edu.sg/education/grad…

@jlewillett This is fun!! Congratulations!! Will definitely read it!

Published just in time for the holidays! I learned so much while writing about the past, present, and future of E. faecalis research with Gary. Check it out! 🦠🧫🧪🔬 journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/mm…

@Bevika2 Awesome! Congratulations!!

📢The Zlitni Lab at UCSF is recruiting postdocs (experimental and computational) to join our team. We study microbial communication & quorum sensing in the human microbiome, and how these processes influence health and disease. To apply shorturl.at/erriN Please share widely

@TheBrysonLab @OwenKLeddy Such a great thread to highlight the amazing Science you guys are doing! Congratulations! I’ll also read this article in detail.

Excited to share our latest on Mtb and antigen presentation (biorxiv.org/content/10.110…). Keep reading if you’re interested in host-pathogen interactions, vaccines, and human immunology! Led by @OwenKLeddy (on the postdoc market!).

@vincentdebakker Best of luck!! Exciting times ahead!

Out with a blast. Leaving Lausanne today after more than five beautiful years that shaped me considerably, on both a professional and personal level. Looking ahead with excitement, but I will miss the wonderful people that made this place a true home. Au revoir!

Sept 2024 #SGBUG! @RonniAnderson from @KimInGeneva lab sharing about his work on how Enterococcus faecalis interacts with host immune cells! @SCELSE_SG

Enterococcus faecalis, recognized as an extracellular pathogen, also has an intracellular lifestyle. This #MMBR review summarizes how the bacterium adheres to, enters & survives within host cells, & highlights the need for further mechanistic studies. asm.social/24H
