Very happy to see our new paper out in @PLOSPathogens! Interested in fungal infection dynamics? Have a read about cryptococcal dissemination from blood vessels in the zebrafish infection model #infection #zebrafish #microscopy @JohnstonLabs @phil1pingham.
During infective meningitis, Gibson et al. show that Cryptococcus can block small blood vessels, proliferate & cause vasodilation. Blockages can result in microbes being transported into tissues & infection being spread by vessels bursting. @josiepyrah .

Really excited to see our recent study in @PLOSPathogens!🎊We examined the mechanism of augmentation in S. aureus infection and found commensal bacteria protect S. aureus from ROS within macrophages, follow the link to read more! @GracePidwill @foster_lab .

Exciting paper on S. aureus cell wall during infection! Congrats @MrJafs!!.
.@MrJafs, @foster_lab and colleagues @SheffieldMBB @UniofNewcastle demonstrate the importance of appropriate #cellwall structure and dynamics during #Staphylococcus aureus pathogenesis, providing new insight to the mechanisms of disease.
