Delighted to share our latest paper describing how lactococci temporarily tune down the production of cell wall polysaccharides to evade phage infection. Reduced synthesis of phospho-polysaccharide in Lactococcus as a strategy to evade phage infection. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37774633/

Well done to Koen Giesbers, Jack Fagan and Dr Elvina Parlindungan from Microbiology UCC APC Microbiome Ireland DvS Research Group and many thanks to our wonderful collaborators in the teams of Marie-Pierre Chapot-Chartier @INRAE and Marco Ventura at Genprobio for their excellent insights as always!

Well done Hiba Shareefdeen for giving a fantastic talk at todays School of Microbiology Seminar Series PhD Speaker Event!✨It was great to hear about all the creative ways to isolate phages🕵️‍♀️ and the influence of phages on bacterial community structure in the gut!

Disappointing that PhD stipends did not see an increase in #Budget2024 Researchers are the life blood of every university and research institute and should be supported.

Happy Friday! Delighted to share my first first-author paper reviewing cell wall polysaccharides of streptococci published in a special issue of biotechnology advances. Massive thanks to Mahony Lab and DvS Research Group for all the help getting here authors.elsevier.com/sd/article/S07…
