The lab of José R Penadés has just reported the intricate regulatory interactions between phage factors and the cellular toxin-antitoxin MazE-MazF, which are at the heart of the control of the lysis-lysogeny of arbitrium phages rdcu.be/du9nU.

Sore throat is a leading cause of antibiotic consumption. We are working to promote development of a vaccine against Streptococcus pyogenes that could obviate need for most prescriptions, reducing many of the invasive cases and adverse complications. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37672334/

Work from Andy Edwards and Lizzie Ledger discovered that when bacteria stop growing, they change their cell envelope, making them much less susceptible to the antibiotic daptomycin, a last resort treatment for MRSA infection. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36722949/ Imperial Department of Infectious Disease
