New preprint! Led by @aya_iizuka & @MVMazzuoli we ask what helps Staphylococcus aureus enter, survive inside and evade treatment in human monocytes. biorxiv.org/content/10.64898…

Staphylococcus aureus Mnh1 cation–proton antiporter promotes phagocytic uptake and intracellular...

While Staphylococcus aureus is predominantly an extracellular human commensal, it can also exhibit an intracellular lifestyle that enables its persistence within diverse host cell types, including...

Exciting times! Our latest preprint is now live 🤩! I truly believe this is one of the most significant contributions we've made. It offers fresh hypotheses about how pandemic Vibrio cholerae spreads globally. Let’s dive in!🧵..1/n biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Diverse phage defence systems define West African South American pandemic Vibrio cholerae

Our understanding of the factors underlying the evolutionary success of different lineages of pandemic Vibrio cholerae remains incomplete. Interestingly, two unique genetic signatures define the West...
