It’s out ! Our review on antibacterial responses in macrophages in @NatRevImmunol . We tried to cover as many pathways as we can, macrophages always astonish me by their immense arsenal. Very happy to have collaborated on that paper ! Version online FREE: rdcu.be/dUlUZ

Inducible antibacterial responses in macrophages

Nature Reviews Immunology - Macrophages are innate immune sentinels providing frontline defence against infection. This Review describes the inducible mechanisms used by macrophages to kill...

I just heard that Alexander Tomasz died on Monday. I didn't know him, but I met him once while I was a graduate student working on pneumococci. He did pioneering work on pneumococcal competence, discovering competence factor. His work on autolysins and penicillin binding proteins was tremendous.

New Microbial Primer on ‘Phase Variation’ out now www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/micr...

ICYMI: 3 new preprints from the lab: 1) Make-or-Break Prime editing: the most elegant bacterial genome editing tech to date 2) PneumoBrowse2.0: Revamped pneumococcal genome browser 3) Dual CRISPRi-seq: One of the most comprehensive genetic interaction study in bacteria ever #MicroSky

This is a preprint under review, but bacteria can really move around (and do a lot of damage while doing so) 🧪 www.researchsquare.com/article/rs-4...

🧪 We've published our first paper on Gardnerella. There is extensive phase variation in all the Gardnerella species we examined. It effects surface proteins, toxin production, and human cervix infection ex vivo. doi.org/10.1128/msph...

My lab at Northwestern Univ (downtown Chicago campus) has 1-2 postdoc openings to study S. aureus RNA biology and antibiotic resistance. Ad. below . Please distribute to any interested parties. Thanks! #AcademicSky#MicroSky#RNASkysites.northwestern.edu/yaplab/conta...

🧪 In PID, peptidoglycan fragments and other soluble molecules released by Neisseria gonorrhoeae lead to tissue damage. Our latest article describes the transcriptomic responses in human Fallopian tube tissue to these molecules or gonococcal infection. rdcu.be/dGR5W
