Is phenotypic variation functional? Stoked about our latest preprint spearheaded by the amazing Anne-Stephanie DMF UNIL Université de Lausanne in collaboration with a fantastic team of people @vrrenske Surya Dev Aggarwal Javier Santos Moreno @LalouxLab Yolanda Schaerli Weiser Lab @ NYU Langone Health biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Finding a multi drug resistant superbug's Achilles' heel opens the way for new treatment: read our latest research in Nature Communications, led by Cambridge Vet School and Statens Serum Institut nature.com/articles/s4146…

So pleased with the reach of our article - Unrealized targets in the discovery of antibiotics for Gram-negative bacterial infections ⁦Global Antibiotic R&D Partnership (GARDP)⁩ nature.com/articles/s4157…

Nasal IgA governs if respiratory colonizers and pathogens can establish. Read how vastly IgA levels vary affecting microbiome members differently. #S.aureus uses protein A to accumulate IgA. By Rob van Dalen, Ahmed M. A. Elsherbini ... Controlling Microbes to Fight Infections DZIF (inaktiv)

We are advertising for a statistical geneticist post-doc to lead a human GWAS in a cohort of 20,000 people to determine the role of human genetics in persistent colonisation by Staphylococcus aureus jobs.cam.ac.uk/job/43443/ Pls RT

Metabolic models are promising tools to predict phenotypic characteristics of bacteria but their predictions are rarely put to the test in the lab. Here we do it. Nice work together with Prof. Dr. Andreas Dräger, Laura Camus, G. Dübel and lead by Famke Bäuerle! Controlling Microbes to Fight Infections frontiersin.org/articles/10.33…

So good to see this finally out. Thanks particularly to Chris Ruis for making this work, even though he didn't believe it would when I first suggested it to him. nature.com/articles/s4146…

Forskere fra SSI har vist, at helt almindelige antibiotika - stik imod den gængse viden - ser ud til at kunne dræbe multiresistente stafylokok-bakterier. Studiet er netop blevet offentliggjort i Nature Communications👇 nature.com/articles/s4146…

At the Wellcome Sanger Institute the interest in all things nucleic acid is taken very seriously - even the shadows and reflection of the buildings are double helix themed!

Beautiful insight into the polymerization of teichoic acids by Eric Brown and Strynadka labs science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

We discovered that S. epidermidis attaches glucose to its wall teichoic acids, which determines the binding behaviour of several bacteriophages. Now in mBio: journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/mb… Thanks to Andreas Peschel @JanesKrusche, Cristina De Castro, Christoph Mayer and others.

A four-day event to hold bilateral dialogue between the National Centre for Disease Control (NCDC), @MoHFW_India, Government of India, and Statens Serum Institute (SSI), Ministry of the Interior and Health of the Kingdom of Denmark, commenced today in New Delhi. The event aims

Today Statens Serum Institut had the great pleasure of visiting India National Center for Disease Control and participating in the inauguration of our joint collaboration. Through this collaboration we will be sharing experiences and know-how in the fields of AMR, infectious disease
