Very happy to be featured in UM news! Thank you @UM_RadyFHS @umanitoba. Cheers!

A deep dive into #T6SS effector diversity in #pseudomonas out now in @NatureComms lead by Antonia Habich from the Unterweger Lab. Great science and great collaboration. @MPI_EvolBio @ImperialNHLI https://t.co/RhG3ZmdNj6

Viable but nonculturable (VNBC) cells have lower intracellular ATP concentrations than culturable cells; they can be revived by elevating their intracellular ATP levels, pointing to a potential strategy to steer bacterial behavior. #JBacteriology: https://t.co/7hHgDRnBNy

Type IV pili (T4P) are important virulence factors in many bacterial pathogens. This #JBacteriology review explores the mechanisms regulating T4p motor function, which could be harnessed to disable the pili in pathogenic bacteria. Get the full story: https://t.co/bBRYn6YmjY

Towards improved biofilm models https://t.co/ycNU0OZGPv In this Perspective, Rumbaugh and Whiteley explore the advantages and limitations of current medical biofilm models and outline a framework for quantitatively assessing model accuracy. @KendraRumbaugh @whiteleylab

Our recent paper, led by my former postdoc Amruta Karbelkar and in collaboration with the Sondermann lab is online at PNAS. We rebuild a SRB cdG-regulated adhesin system in P. fluorescens. https://t.co/5n7ypb1G56 @m2p2_dartmouth

Thanks @UM_RadyFHS! Feels really honoured to receive RFHS Graduate Studentship.

Studies using an in vitro lung epithelial model reveals novel roles for Pseudomonas aeruginosa siderophores, including decreasing epithelial cell viability and upregulated several pro-inflammatory genes. Learn more in @JournalSpectrum: https://t.co/mIm3XGeNsy

Congratulations Dr. @Chelikanilab!!

A β-lactam/β-lactam-enhancer, cefepime/zidebactam, overcomes multi-drug resistant P. aeruginosa regardless of resistance mechanisms expressed & may be a viable alternative to the conventional β-lactam/β-lactamase inhibitor approach. @mbiojournal: https://t.co/vA9alokbqR

Great talk by @JoeJHarrison1!

If you like bacteria and potatoes, we are happy to share our work entitled "Pseudomonas fluorescens MFE01 delivers a putative #T6SS amidase that confers biocontrol against the soft-rot pathogen Pectobacterium atrosepticum" published in @Environmicrobi https://t.co/Mh0xuA7KVr

We are recruiting! Come work with me and some excellent colleagues. East coast lifestyle and great science.

Dr. @MeghanAzad and her team are leading the breast milk analyses for the Microbes, Milk, Mental Health and Me project, which seeks to understand the early-life origins of mental health conditions. It's part of the Children Growing Up in Liverpool study.
