Did you know we have a Pre-Clinical Studies Unit? It offers clinically relevant models of infection and disease for testing new vaccine candidates, drugs and therapies. Find out more here: https://t.co/OESQEvzJoe

This was a great collaboration spanning 3 continents (!) and led very successfully by @ShadiaKhandaker - very interesting results too!
How does immune response diversity impact babies' defence against Group B Strep? Our study shows key differences in women from Bangladesh, the UK & Malawi. Could this influence global GBS vaccine strategies? https://t.co/dtXl5meS1d

🚨New paper alert🚨 So happy to finally share this! now out @CellReports ✨ We explored the hierarchical structure that controls virulence in Pseudomonas🦠, finding a mutational hotspot that acts as a genetic switch for hypervirulence💀 and AMR💊

Regulatory systems behind antimicrobial resistance and virulence are poorly understood. Figueroa et al. show that the mutational state of the Pseudomonas aeruginosa regulator mexT acts as a genetic...

Led by @jakob_tr and @quiles_nuria, with @lasa_lab, we show that prophages utilise noncontiguous operons to balance immunity and autoimmunity. Our results underscore the essential fine regulation of these processes for prophages' life cycle development. https://t.co/XFI0iSfgkJ
