Check out how 💪🏼Enterococci💪🏼 use lactic acid to suppress the inflammatory response and promote virulence. Project started by Brenda Tien during her PhD and brought home by the always excellent @ronni.bsky.social! 🥳

How does Enterococcal QS activation impact infection outcomes across different host microenvironments? To answer this as fluid dynamics change over the course of infection, @harisantypas.bsky.social led our first foray into enterococcal infective endocarditis w/ some surprisingly results. #microsky

And last preprint of 2023! Postdoc Ronni da Silva's latest in a project aimed at repurposing drugs to reprogram macrophages to treat ESKAPE pathogen infections. Bosutinib stimulates macrophage survival, phagocytosis and intracellular killing of bacteria www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
