Staphylococcus aureus remains one of the most frequent bacterial pathogen, both in community and health-care setting. Learn more about the topic, #ESCMID #StudyGroups and especially #ESGS here: ow.ly/hmmW50POjT7

Big congratulations to our newest PhD graduates Judith Bergadà and Julian Baer ! It was a pleasure! We are happy that they both stay for a while longer with us to continue their work. Be on the lookout for some interesting publications from them (hopefully) soon

C-di-AMP levels modulate Staphylococcus aureus cell wall thickness, response to oxidative stress, and antibiotic resistance and tolerance ift.tt/euVxhpU

Interesting new study by Zinkernagel Lab Zurich showing the profound impact on antibiotic resistance of gdpP mutations in Staphylococcus aureus journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/sp…

Latest publication from the team: C-di-AMP levels modulate Staphylococcus aureus cell wall thickness, response to oxidative stress, and antibiotic resistance and tolerance published at ASM Microbiology Spectrum journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/sp…

Off to a good start of 2024! Our comparison of meningitis causing Group A Streptococcus strains with otitis and colonizing strains revealed no distinct invasive pheno- or genotype, indicating continous spread of the infection. @microbiologyOA doi.org/10.1002/mbo3.1…

We had an amazing retreat high above the Walensee with lots of science, remembering the past and planning the future, and especially tons of fun!

Wonderful defence today from Chun-Chi Chang at the USZ about using commensal bacteria to counter pathogens. Wonderful, wonderful talk! sdb-lab.org Srikanth Mairpady Shambat Zinkernagel Lab Zurich

Congratulations to Chun-Chi Chang to his outstanding PhD defense! He taught us today everything about using commensal bacteria as gatekeepers of the respiratory tract to combat pathobiont colonizations. We wish you all the best for the future!
