GenAI has given fraudsters a powerful new way of making fake images. My latest in @Nature looks at what people are doing to try to stop this problem from spiraling out of control: https://t.co/T0B8vLn50H

Corning now offers sterile tips that come in a paper container, thus generating less plastic waste!

Happy to attend the celebration of the 5th anniversary of @for_MicroCentre and share my research project about CRISPR-Cas9 to target antibiotic resistance plasmid in bovine microbiome during Student talks session 🐄🦠🧬

@ronholmlab And I really hope that the practical application of these species as prophylactic probiotics which could contribute to colonization resistance and prevent E. coli clinical mastitis in dairy cows will be possible in the near future. 🐄

These species could contribute to resistance of bovine udder microbiome to colonization by E. coli and prevent future instances of E. coli clinical mastitis. Our lab @ronholmlab is testing the inhibitory activity of these species isolates toward E. coli in vitro.

We found negatively correlated commensal bacteria with E. coli from healthy cow - Aerococcus urinaeequi and non-aureus staphylococci. We found genes from these species genomes that could contribute to E. coli antagonism indicating their potential as prophylactic probiotics.

Microbiome modulation is a new approach to prevent and treat diseases. Can it also be applied to mastitis in dairy cattle?🐄🥛Our research article shows the potential. #bovinemastitis #ecoli @mSystemsJ https://t.co/mUARmkW1AE

Type "co-author publications" in FB search and select "group". Ewwww 👻

Also had a Food Microbiology TA reunion with Zhiwei and @brady_o :)

Thank you @CSM_SCM2024 for a great conference! Seeing full of great research and great people is always inspiring. Already looking forward to the next one in Montreal

Heading to London to attend @CSM_SCM2024. Looking forward to seeing everyone, learning and sharing good research :)

Do you have a question on #AMR that you've always wanted to ask a scientist? Now's your chance with EDAR7's human library on May 29th! Take a look at our participating researchers and "check out" 15 minutes of their time at https://t.co/j5iBFqkxRs

Clarifying picketing rights in Quebec after @McGillU wrongly warned against picketing on "University grounds."

A huge thank you to Soyoun, Jen, Daryna, and Simon for your contributions! @soyoun9300 @jensomics @SimonDufour2 @ronholmlab

3. And we found that these organisms could encode mechanisms that can potentially antagonize E. coli. These species could be a potential way of preventing future E. coli CM without inducing inflammation.

2. S. auricularis, S. haemolyticus, A. urinaeequi, and S. marcescens often highly dominated mastitis-free quarters without corresponding increases in somatic cell count.

1. E. coli dominates the bovine udder microbiome during clinical mastitis, but the microbial diversity recovers post-infection.
