Heme is the main source of iron for host-associated pathogenic bacteria. In #MMBR, researchers unravel the mystery of the evolution of the HmuY protein family, which are part of a unique heme uptake (Hmu) system found in bacteria in the oral & gut microbiome.

Antibiotic combinations are often used to treat bacterial infections. However, interactions between antibiotics—ranging from antagonistic to synergistic—can be specific to individual bacterial isolates. What are the implications? Find out in mBio: asm.social/1K1

Here’s the UofGDentalSchool team IADR in New Orleans with our own Professor Marcello Riggio who is on the IADR board #IADR2024

The wound microbiota: microbial mechanisms of impaired wound healing and infection rdcu.be/dDI0s Grice & co explore the diversity of microbes present in wounds and examine the mechanisms through which they invade skin tissues, impair skin repair and cause infection.

Amazing work for only 6 months of your BBSRCNorthWestBio PhD Zainab Bilal 🎉 excited to see where this project on Raman Spec profiling of pathogens goes Karen Faulds (she/her) 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇪🇺 UofGDentalSchool

After last years successful event, we will be holding another ECR meeting on 20th and 21st June in Sheffield. All details can be found at sites.google.com/sheffield.ac.u…. Any ECRs working on oral/dental projects related to #Microbiology or #Immunology welcome to attend and present 🪥🦷

Great to join colleagues in Oral Sciences research UofGDentalSchool on away day Mugdock Country Park sharing science, networking/linking, and planning future directions of our oral and dental research

🔬Science should be shared! We have built an open-access web repository for microbiological Raman spectroscopy data which establishes a set of standards for data reporting to ensure reproducible measurements. Read more in Nature Microbiology rdcu.be/dHdtK

University of Glasgow is recruiting an Immunologist at Lecturer/Senior Lecturer level.
