Interesting study on how #cyclicdiamp affects B-lactam resistance in Streptococcus
Coordinated regulation of osmotic imbalance by c-di-AMP shapes beta-lactam tolerance in Group B Streptococcus biorxiv.org/cgi/content/shor… #biorxiv_micrbio
Happy to share our review of cyclic-di-AMP signalling in lactic acid bacteria as part of the @LABsymposiumorg
special edition in @FEMSmicro
Thanks to @HuongPham2021 @Es_Marcellin @ZX_Liang & Yuwei for your contributions and many years of collaboration

Interesting study on Enterococcus faecalis c-di-AMP signalling - especially when exogenously added c-di-AMP rescues the growth defect of a cdaA mutant. Is c-di-AMP a 'first messenger' also? 🤔

Long time brewin', but thrilled to see our work describing a human-microbiome metabolic symbiosis in exercise published in Nat Med today: go.nature.com/2LeBAC0. Extremely proud of my grad students Jacob Luber and Ted Chavkin, and the guy that started all of this Jon Scheiman.
