Very happy to see this paper by @AKTooke out there! Congratulations Amy!!.
Happy to share this story from my PhD @foster_lab & @steverenshaw - with @becky31290 in Ken Bayles’ lab & @JosiePyrah - we show that oxacillin & tetracycline display synergy against S. aureus biofilms & during infection in zebrafish! .@MM_Sheffield @unmc .

Read more about our latest paper on S. aureus using an alternative mode of cell division to resist the effects of methicillin.
MRSA, an antimicrobial resistance superbug, causes over 120,000 deaths per year. A new study led by @sheffielduni, funded by @UKRI, has revealed the bugs’ double defence mechanism against antibiotics - a crucial step in developing new ways to target its survival strategy. Read

We are very excited to announce our latest work on how MRSA conquers antibiotics. We show that high-level resistance to methicillin requires S. aureus to utilise an alternative mode of cell division to ensure its survival! @Sheffield_AFM @Olulana4 .
