@MaritaMarli has studied competence in Strep dysgalactiae strains from bovines and humans - and found a method to make mutants using natural transformation! @DanStreamer @DPorcellato @UniNMBU Great collaboration with Oddvar Oppegaard @medofak_uib.

Our work on genetic determinants for S. aureus fitness in milk is now available online. The study also exemplifies how milk can modulate antibiotic susceptibility. Congrats @MaritaMarli and thanks to all collaborators (@DPorcellato @JWVeening @vincentdebakker @liuxuescience)!
Great collaboration with @Morten3891 to figure out which genes are required for Staphylococcus aureus to live in milk. Important to know due to Staphs ability to cause bovine mastitis and food poisoning biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Checkout @Bevika2 preprint! She used CRISPRi-seq to determine antibiotic-stress signatures, specifically of pneumococci treated with fluoroquinolone antibiotics. It's a really powerful approach revealing a surprising antibiotic combination therapy. 1/9 biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

@felixrl_ took on a ~50-yr-old mystery in #Staph aureus cell biology and came out on top! Check out his paper on how #Staphylococcus aureus chooses its cell division plane, how it forms clusters, and why all this matters during infection...

A fishy tale about the the Salmon Microbial Genome Atlas is now out in @NatureMicrobiol. We hope this culture and genome biobank provides a functional resource to the community and supports the next generation of salmon gut microbiome projects. nature.com/articles/s41564-0…

New article out in Comm Biol by 1st authors @HiraJonathan and Bhupender Singh. Check out if interested in a) Cellular phenotypic heterogeneity in bacterial pathogen populations & how cell individuality shapes pop. behavior b) S. aureus c) new applications for chemical probes.
Phenotypic profiling detects differential cultivability and antimicrobial susceptibility in isogenic, but phenotypically heterogenous bacterial populations.

Excited to share this preprint! Our multiscale approach has finally shed light on the essential roles of the structural protein HU in pneumococcal nucleoid dynamics. Thanks to all co-authors for their contribution to this collaborative work.
Awesome work by @MVMazzuoli Renske van Raaphorst, Louise, Florian in collaboration with the team of @rkoszul. Revealing a role for HU in promoting long-range chromosome interactions.

What does DivIVA do? New research in @mbiojournal reveals that, in Streptococcus pneumoniae, this structural protein is a key player in the orchestration of cell division and elongation. Get the details, including how scientists think DivIVA works, here: asm.social/26t

Very excited to share our latest preprint: a breakthrough in surface protein trafficking that we've studied for a long time. Perhaps more important is, the beauty of synchronized cell envelope biogenesis.

Latest chapter in the MspA story is out @mbiojournal Lead by @Dora_Bonini we show #staph MspA interacts with SpsB, which cleaves and modifies LtaS. This is crucial for LTA homeostasis and S. aureus pathogenicity @ProfRuthMassey @CMMBristol @MRCcmm journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128…
