If you are interested in hypervirulent #Klebsiella pneumoniae and liver abscess, pls take a look at our short review on Host interactions of hvKp along the gut liver axis! #microsky #UTIsky authors.elsevier.com/sd/article/S...

A must-read for anyone interested in #Klebsiella or metal acquisition!

This is a really neat story. Excited to see it out!!

journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/... Proud to see our work published in mBio! We uncover how C3 and C4 provide layered immune protection against Klebsiella pneumoniae. Grateful for my incredible mentors Dr. Ammar Zafar @azmicro.bsky.social, Dr. Karen Haas and supportive colleagues.

📢 Our latest paper is now in @infectionimmunity.bsky.social We asked: How different are classical (cKp) vs hypervirulent (hvKp) Klebsiella pneumoniae bloodstream isolates if they are all the same K type (K2)? 📄 doi.org/10.1128/iai.... #KlebClub #MicroTwitter

Looks to be yet another excellent seminar series!

Our latest collaboration with Karthik Hullahalli's team on bacterial barcoding is now out! We developed a way to measure dissemination dynamics that controls for independent colonization events. This more accurately assesses how bacteria spread between tissues. journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/...

The latest in our quest to understand the role of HMV and hypercapsule in convergent Klebsiella is out! So thankful to this team for making this project really fun! @stphnslsbry.bsky.social @leslieannaerobe.bsky.social @margaretlam.bsky.social @katholt.bsky.social journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/...

Really excited to be part of this project! #KlebClub

currentprotocols.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/... Our new article in Current Protocols is out: Microbiologists, immunologists, host-pathogen folks: this one’s for you 🧬🦠 #Klebsiella #HostPathogen #Microbiology Huge thanks to my mentor @azmicro.bsky.social for the guidance and support!

So excited that this is now online. It's been a huge collaborative effort to estimate the prevalence of capsule and O antigens associated with #klebsiella neonatal sepsis in Africa and South Asia. The first step to prioritising antigens for a vaccine to protect 1000s of newborns. #MicroSky #AMR

Very excited to see this in print form! It was quite a journey and I learned ton along the way!

One of my favorite meetings!

Out fighting for my job with many “colleagues” in Raleigh, NC. And thanks to @shonmcbride.bsky.social for the poster inspiration! #StandUpForScience

Very useful indeed

It's that time of year! Registration and abstract submission for the 6th Klebsiella Seminar Series is now open. Participation is free and abstracts are due by February 16th. See the link below for details, and reach out to the organizers with any questions: forms.gle/gxbvaC6FjzuS... #KlebClub

Last call! Abstracts are due Dec. 8 for the 2025 Mid-Atlantic Microbial Pathogenesis Meeting (MAMPM), which will be held Feb. 2-4, 2025. Lot's of short talk opportunities for trainees. Join us at the wonderful Wintergreen Resort for two days of great science! Please repost!

Some stunning contaminants found on old plates in the back of the cold room 😍🧫
