The second paper from my PhD is finally out in @NatureMicrobiol! TraDIS on IncC conjugation.
Thanks to @pmduy,
@LabSchembri. Some really cool structural biology by Lou Zhenyao and Bostjan Kobe.

Very excited to share our work on NMEC led by @nhunguyen2811 (under review by eLife). We highlight that even with appropriate antibiotic treatment, causative NMEC that resides intestinally might not be eliminated and can cause relapse.

We discussed shipping strains today and it was surprising to me how much of it is still done in LB agar stabs. That is risky if genomic integrity matters - see paper below and this short thread 🦠📬👇🏼. 1/4

PRETTY COOL STUFF on WaaL, the O-antigen ligase for building LPS. These folks were amazing to work with!

Our research shows that efficacy of tetracycline class antibiotics can be restored to treat MDR Acinetobacter baumannii infection.

Political interference in the selection of research grants is eroding Australia’s international reputation and the integrity of Australia’s research system. Of the 4 known occurrences of political interference, 3 have occurred in the last three years. science.org.au/news-and-even…

What factors are required for bacterial fighting? Our latest study in @NAR_Open shows that the H2-T6SS and its effectors requires the regulators Sfa2 and RpoN in #Pseudomonas Great work @AlColls Eleanor @towo_towo @FillouxLab @CMBI_Imperial @ImperialNHLI academic.oup.com/nar/advance…

Merry Christmas from the Bakery! bit.ly/3yIGHkB Our first combined wet and dry lab work - why has one AMR plasmid globally disseminated among Shigella and another has not? Led by @MalakaDes with @Jaws_Stenhouse @GraceBlackwel1 @RJBengtsson @ClaireJenkins2 @JPJHall

The plasmid gene aac(6’)-Ib-cr confers 4x increase in MIC to cipro in strains already harbour resistant gyrA and parC mutations. This dual resistance combination shows strong association with emerging carbapenem resistant clones.

We uniformly assembled, ran quality control and performed general characterisation on 661,405 bacterial genomes that were in the ENA at the end of November 2018.

After a super productive post-doc in my lab @lenghung8825 will soon return to France. So I need to hire a new post-doc who will have big shoes to fill! (no pressure). Here is the ad. If you are interested in investigating Acinetobacter pathogenesis please apply!
