All set for 3 exciting days at #ASMicrobe

Amazing opening talk by Beronda L. Montgomery--@BerondaM at BSky about a bacterium that generates different colors based on the wavelength of light: red and green pigments #asmicrobe

Manu Prakash talks frugal science and bridging the gap of science and clinical infrastructure between the haves and have-nots, in our final opening talk at #asmicrobe

Do not hesitate to stop by poster 58 at #ASMicrobe to discuss about #intracellular role of #pneumococcal capsule

Carlos Orihuela (UAB) kicking off day 2 of the Inaugural #StrepGRC "Intracellular Replication of Streptococcus pneumoniae Within the Heart" Carlos Orihuela

Going to #ASMicrobe next week in SF and want to learn how Spn produces toxic oxidants to kill S. aureus? come to see our poster (below). A collaboration with @tdread_emory, Carlos Orihuela, Carlos del Rio, Terry Brissac, Xueqing Wu Abraham Moller, PhD abstractsonline.com/pp8/#!/7859/pr… … …

Great way to celebrate a decade Emory Public Health with the acceptance in JBacteriology Eds of our latest study. Spn generates hydroxyl radicals to rapidly kill S. aureus; with @tdread_emory Xueqing Wu Carlos Orihuela Uriel Angulo Terry Brissac Carlos del Rio Abraham Moller, PhD

I'm giving a talk this Thursday so sign up to get a zoom invite. What I will say about this upcoming talk is I'll present negative data, soul crushing negative data. It ain't all sunshine and rainbows, but I'll share what we learned from it. #strepzoomies

I made some little games for my lab mates kids' using BioRender and I wanted to share with you all! Feel free to print them and give them to kiddos who love (or who you are slowly convincing to love) science! Happy Holidays everyone!

📢The #MOOC Resistance to antibacterial agents is open for registration on France Université Numérique. 🗓️Start of the MOOC on January 11th 2021 ! 👉fun-mooc.fr/courses/course… Institut Pasteur, since 1887 Fondation Ipsen - Rare but not Alone Didier Mazel

Il y a 5 bonnes raisons de suivre le #MOOC «#Résistance aux agents #antibactériens » ! 👉Raison n°1⃣ : Ce MOOC traite d'un phénomène majeur qui n’épargne aucun continent. Les autres #raisons de suivre ce cours sont ici : fun-mooc.fr/news/5-raisons… CC Institut Pasteur, since 1887 Institut Pasteur Education

This paper shows that capsular polysaccharide protects bacteria within endosomes of vascular endothelial cells allowing for invasive disease to occur. While done with Spn - it shows the same for GBS and Staph - implications for other capsulated pathogens. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

#Streptococcus agalactiae remains surprisingly sensitive to ß-lactams despite decades of use! 🧬🔬 Terry Brissac et al. uncovers how c-di-AMP controls osmotic pressure and cell wall integrity, revealing clues to emerging resistance. #Antibiotics #AMR academic.oup.com/microlife/arti…

"Scooped"? We prefer to call it "complementary research," recognising its important role in reproducibility of science. Come to #PLOSBiology within 6 months of "scooping" and we'll consider it. See our new policy here: plos.io/2rRvTSA

Wed 2/14 – Faculty Candidate Dr. Mark Cronan from Duke Univ will be presenting at noon in BBRB 170, “Macrophage reprogramming in mycobacterial granuloma formation”. Interested faculty are encouraged to attend Dr. Cronan’s chalk talk on Thursday, 2/15 8am – 9:30am in BRBB 263.
