We have some really exciting collections open @npjAMR - check out the link below. Includes, AMR in the food chain, Resistance genomics, AI/machine learning/data science approaches AMR, Pathogen Drug permeability and AMR in water!

A set of weapons bacteria use to fight each other, called microcins, are much more widespread and diverse than previously thought. They might inspire new ways to combat antibiotic resistant bacteria. Learn more in @NatureComms: rdcu.be/eumkH @ut_mbs @CIDatUT

Our overview of the challenging problem of antimicrobial resistance and how we can combat is finally out, after gestating for many years.... @IMBatUQ @COADD_news nature.com/articles/s4425…

It was such fun hanging out with Mark @markowenmartin during his visit with @UTAustinASM. Thank you for having me and for all the chats and laughs! We talked about #AMR and how we should work harder to combat it. @ut_mbs @TexasScience youtu.be/nSO2Tv6j1J0?si…

Three million child deaths linked to drug resistance, study shows bbc.com/news/articles/…

Delighted to share the latest from the lab, where we uncover the impact that the artificial sweetener saccharin has on bacteria

This is a phenomenal class! It is great to have it @UTAustin, as it can be the basis of so many CURE and other experiential learning modules!

#weekendreading📑🔬 A prophage competition element protects Salmonella from lysis @cellhostmicrobe @SophieHelaine cell.com/cell-host-micr…

You want to run antibiotic MICs according to best-practice clinical microbiology protocols, but you are not sure how? Our article will walk you through it all! Great to work with @nikikaderabkova @AyeshaMahmood2 and a pleasure to publish in @npjAMR. rdcu.be/dZp04 #AMR

OUT NOW 👉Gamma-Mobile-Trio systems are mobile elements rich in bacterial defensive and offensive tools, by @DrDorSalomon @EranBosis @UdiQimron @tridib_mahata @canareck_ @TAUMedFaculty @TelAvivUni nature.com/articles/s4156…

Fantastic conference for #AMR! I really miss going to it since coming to the US!

Delighted to share that our preprint is now published in @PNASNews . Here we showed that flagellar motility is mutagenic. pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn… @harsheylab

V. cholerae microcin: Davies lab @ut_mbs ID microcin, MvcC, which selectively kills V. cholerae. MvcC crosses outer membrane & traverses periplasm to permeabilize inner membrane. Resistance conferred by protease, MvcD, which cleaves MvcC into fragments cell.com/cell-host-micr…

🆕 Antimicrobial resistance poses an important global health challenge in the 21st century. A new in-depth global analysis suggests more than 39 million deaths from antibiotic-resistant infections could occur between now & 2050. Explore the data: buff.ly/3zlVE0U #AMR

Exciting news🤩- we have an opening for a tenure-track Assistant Professor in Infection Biology & Immunology in our Institute @epflSV @EPFL_en Please spread the word & encourage outstanding postdocs, who are ready to start their own labs, to apply. THX 🤓 shorturl.at/bSvVe

Excited to see this out and to be a part of it. A very good overview of the #AMR crisis and of new promising approaches against it. Great job @amberldance @Nature nature.com/articles/d4158…

Apply apply apply!

New Job Alert! We are hiring a Research Assistant I/II. Please share. @UTHealthHouston @UTHealthMMG @McGovernMed uth.referrals.selectminds.com/jobs/research-…

Amazing new lab to join!

Gutted about this! Stuart was my PhD and postdoc mentor. I spent 10 years in his lab, and much of what I am today as a scientist is because of the environment that he created. He will be sorely missed!
