Loss of cannabinoid receptors weakens immune defenses against #Salmonella. This #mBio study shows how CB1R and CB2R differently shape infection outcomes and #microbiota. https://t.co/GD52Ns2xek @UF_IFAS @UF_MCS @mjedelmann #CannabinoidScience #Immunology

Great having you on the team this summer, Ryan Cantrell & best wishes ahead at @UF_MCS. Thanks to @edi_diazb for his guidance & support in the lab @UFIFAS_IRREC @UFPlantPath, @UFCALS for supporting this work through the Summer Internship Fellowship & @USDA_NIFA,

As antibiotic resistance grows, @UF_MCS scientists may have found a new way to fight back. Their latest research reveals a compound that, when paired with antibiotics, nearly wiped out a major foodborne pathogen — and even showed promise against drug-resistant “superbugs.”
