The lab of @jrpenades has just reported the intricate regulatory interactions between phage factors and the cellular toxin-antitoxin MazE-MazF, which are at the heart of the control of the lysis-lysogeny of arbitrium phages

Sore throat is a leading cause of antibiotic consumption. We are working to promote development of a vaccine against Streptococcus pyogenes that could obviate need for most prescriptions, reducing many of the invasive cases and adverse complications.

Work from Andy Edwards and Lizzie Ledger discovered that when bacteria stop growing, they change their cell envelope, making them much less susceptible to the antibiotic daptomycin, a last resort treatment for MRSA infection. @ImperialInfect

'Cell envelope stress triggers heteroresistance to aminoglycoside antibiotics in the ESKAPE pathogen Enterobacter cloacae via activation of the CpxRA regulon' @ImperialInfect @ImperialLifeSci @avi_cmbi .
📢New from the lab. Some years back we surprising found that #Enterobacter cloacae, an #ESKAPE group nosocomial pathogen, shows phenotypic resistance to aminoglycosides. @AnaJChoi looked into this as an MRes student & @DanBennison saw it through #amr 🧵.
