Début des Journées Centre SEVE 2024! Let’s start with a super presentation from Dr. Bala Chaudhary Centre SÈVE FRQ - secteur Nature et technologies

As Dartmouth 🌲 alum, I'm happy to see that you visited our beautiful province Dr. Bala Chaudhary! One of the great advantages of not being so far from Dartmouth :-)

THRILLED to share our recent work on dietary zinc deficiency worsening Acinetobacter baumannii pneumonia, out today @SpringNature in Nature Microbiology with Eric Skaar Lab. SharedIt link: rdcu.be/d0h4h Eat your zinc rich foods! 🦪🫘🧀🥩🥜

Intraspecific Diversity of Staphylococcus aureus Populations Isolated from Cystic Fibrosis Respiratory Infections biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh… #biorxiv_micrbio

Please share!!

Check out this new review from our lab @NCIResearchCtr, led by postdoc pavan silva ! We explore the varied mechanisms by which gene amplifications lead to antibiotic resistance @npjamr

Excited to have a new preprint out today! Read about the surprising amount of intraspecific diversity we found in CF sputum samples! Intraspecific Diversity of Staphylococcus aureus Populations Isolated from Cystic Fibrosis Respiratory Infections biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

New in JB: The production of alginate in CF isolates of P. aeruginosa is driven by the MucA22 mutation. Sommerfield, Darwin et al. show that the Prc protease targets MucA22 (but not the WT protein). journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/jb… ASM JBacteriology Eds

I’m always having fun when doing crystal violet binding assays. And it seems like I haven’t lost my lab hands…yet! #biofilms

Excited to present our resent progress on our antibiotic discovery pipeline at the bioMérieux Canada AMR Symposium in Toronto Nov. 20th at 11:30 AM.

The call for symposia/workshops for the 2025 meeting of the Can Soc for Eco and Evo in Sherbrooke (!!!) is now open - deadline Jan 31. Looking forward to seeing you in the Eastern Townships next year! 🧪 event.fourwaves.com/scee2025/pages…

New in JB: Payne, Goley et al. show that the cell division protein FzlA has a conserved function across the Alphaproteobacteria, including plant and human pathogens. journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/jb… ASM JBacteriology Eds

Are you applying for a CF Foundation Postdoctoral Fellowship Award or other training grant? Join us TODAY @ 4 pm EST for a workshop and Q/A session! Cystic Fibrosis Foundation Jodi Corley Sheryl Ana Maria Jaramillo

New in JB: Many infections are polymicrobial. Warrell, Khare et al. show that P. aeruginosa co-opt secreted surfactants from other species (including other pathogens) for swarming motility. journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/jb… ASM JBacteriology Eds

🚨 Exciting news! Our new book chapter is out: "The Biofilm Blueprint: Exopolysaccharide Form and Function in Bacterial Biofilms" Edited by Courtney Reichhardt link.springer.com/chapter/10.100…

👇🏼👇🏼 eligible senior students and junior postdocs—apply to our Bridge to Faculty program by January 16 for fullest consideration!! University of Illinois Chicago Micro is a fantastic place to launch a lab!

☹️Google Scholar is a great tool. But it doesn't show you how papers are connected with each other. 😀Here's how to fast-track your literature review with visual search using Google Scholar's database: (And export papers to Zotero, Mendeley, or EndNote.)
