Thank you, Gadi @TheFrankelLab, for visiting us in Gifu and for the wonderful talk with many inspiring topics!
We totally enjoyed your lecture and the pleasant time over dinner and the Ukai cruise with you❣️
We are happy to share our new preprint characterising production of the conserved polysaccharide PNAG, a potential vaccine target produced by many pathogens, in #Klebsiella pneumoniae during infection. Congratulations to everyone involved,especially Jonny! biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
We are happy to share our recent results on conjugation surface exclusion with a chromosomal twist. Must mention Chloe’s and Sophia’s incredible contributions.

New paper from the lab now published @NatureComms We show that NETs drive immunopathology in exacerbated #COPD. Work led by the talented @OrestisKats (now moved onto pastures new) with help from our friends @ProfJDChalmers group.

We are happy to share our recent publication linking severe infectious colitis with reduced migration of neutrophils to the infection site, leading to their accumulation in the submucosa where they undergo NETosis causing tissue damage: sciencedirect.com/science/ar…
Counterintuitively, induction of hyper gut inflammation restores neutrophil migration and infection resolution. Big thank you to everyone involved! @CBRB_Imperial @ImperialSci @ImperialMDR

🦠 Research from @CBRB_Imperial shows that antibiotics promote the growth of antibiotic-resistant bacteria in the gut.
The study could lead to better patient risk assessment and treatments to help combat antibiotic-resistant bacteria. ⤵️

Proud to share our latest discovery: Bacteria conjugate ubiquitin-like proteins to interfere with phage assembly
A new concept in antiphage immunity, and a mechanism for ISG15-like antiviral defnese in bacteria. Big congrats to talented @Jens_Hoer!

Huge congratulations for this great story @BenWiggins_093, @cschieri and everyone else that contributed! Check out the article (and thread) if you want to know more about the importance of endothelial cells in maintaining gut health 🦠🥦🧍
I am delighted to announce our manuscript on aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) ligand sensing by gut endothelial cells is now out in @Nature! This has been a lot of collective hard work over the last 3 years, and I am proud to see this work across the line! nature.com/articles/s41586-0…

Thanks to @gileadamit @TheEconomist for wading into the world of SaPIs and phages! Making science accessible to the public is tough work. I can barely explain it to other scientists!
