The development of carbohydrate intolerance tests remains a clinical challenge in the field of functional bowel disease. This study identifies fecal sorbitol dehydrogenase levels as a potential biomarker for sorbitol intolerance. cell.com/action/showPdf…

Excited to see our story on defence system synergy now out in Cell Host & Microbe! 👇 sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

THREAD: Excited to share our latest work using functional genomics to identify collateral sensitivity in bacteriophage combinations. Published in ASM Journal of Virology. #phage #salmonella LINK: journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/jv…

Another opportunity to join my group in Utrecht where we are using microbial genomics and metagenomics to build machine learning models to better understand the spread of pathogens and dissemination of resistance uu.nl/en/organisatio…

In #JVirology, researchers find that collateral sensitivity—when resistance to 1 antimicrobial agent increases sensitivity to another—bolsters the efficacy of a rationally designed phage combination to control the foodborne pathogen Salmonella enterica. asm.social/1Jh

They might look like something out of a horror movie, but these naturally occurring "spider viruses", better known as #Bacteriophages, could be a powerful new weapon to tackle the growing threat of #AMR 🦠 ukhsa.blog.gov.uk/2024/03/12/how…

📝 'Late Breaker' abstract submission for poster presentations is open for the 21st International Symposium on Problems of Listeria and Listeriosis (ISOPOL), which is being held in Norwich this September buff.ly/3S6QbkK

Really cool work about how Salmonella overcomes colonization resistance in the gut cell.com/cell-host-micr…

We determined gene essentiality in 13 Enterobacteriaceae including E. coli, Salmonella and Klebsiella strains, and find ~1/3 of the essential genome is variable -- but! there's no evidence for genus-specific essential genes, implying rapid turnover journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/mb…

🚨 Deadline approaching! 🚨 The deadline to apply for our #postdoc position in early life #microbiome research is 29th September. If you're interested, make sure to apply via the link in the post below 🦠🧫👀 Don’t miss out! #ResearchOpportunity #MicrobiomeScience #ApplyNow

Excited that our manuscript "CCL28 modulates neutrophil responses during infection with mucosal pathogens" is out in eLife - the journal: doi.org/10.7554/eLife.…; led by the super talented Greg Walker and Araceli Perez-Lopez, with the help of many collaborators (incl. ᐯIᑕTOᖇ ᑎIᘔET and team)

Training workshop for our collaborators @NMRL Zimbabwe funded by Gates Foundation to investigate the association of #typhoid with protists in wastewater but will have a positive impact for surveillance including #AMR Thanks to Tapfumanei Mashe, Dave Baker, Michaela and Petros

I’m thrilled to share that I’ll be setting sail into new waters! I've recently been appointed Chair of Intestinal Microbiome at TU München and will be soon transitioning to #TUMSchoolofLifeSciences in Freising. #PhD and #Postdoc positions available- please share!

My personal website is now LIVE!! And I have included a blog about my first sampling expedition as Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions fellow. Please read to hear more about the beginning of my journey with the #uArctic_project. nasmillelarkemejia.com/from-the-guaji…

Salmonella triggers amino acid malabsorption in the ileum to create a a wave of lysine entering the cecum. Decarboxylation of lysine buffers the cytosol to protect against short-chain fatty acids, enabling the pathogen to invade the cecal ecosystem. pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

I am co-chairing the 'Evolutionary and comparative genomics' session at i3s Salmonella conference in St Malo in 2025 - will be great to see you there! i3scongress.sciencesconf.org/resource/pag... Submission deadline for abstracts : 30th November

Bluesky is really hotting up for the science community. Noticeable increase in activity and critical mass of scientists since the US election. If you haven't already, consider joining....and perhaps follow me Rob Kingsley.bsky.social
