Finally getting this account going to provide fun updates from the Jorth Lab @CedarsSinai Lung Institute. Stay tuned! #cedarslung
Check out the latest work from my lab in @NatureMicrobiol from Anna Clara Milesi Galdino and colleagues. It has something for everyone: a Trojan horse antibiotic, iron pirates, evolution, cystic fibrosis, and surprising bacterial cooperation! nature.com/articles/s41564-0…

Could not resist. Making that figure in 2019, I thought the newly uncovered diversity of antiphage systems was already incredible. We now know it was just the tip of the iceberg. I hope our new review will help people dive into this wonderful field. rdcu.be/dg3ql.

New preprint from our lab! 📰 Q: Do changing genetic landscapes alter quorum sensing behaviors in P. aeruginosa? A: YES! Mutations in fusA1 (translation elongation factor) reverse effects of quorum sensing on tobramycin resistance. This is➡️ sign epistasis 🌟 !!

Excited to share our newest pre-print outlining the discovery that bacteria traveling on a surface, by type IV pilus mediated twitching motility, use a designated chemoreceptor (PilJ) to detect and respond to interspecies signals (check out representative live imaging below!).
