📢Attention Phage Phriends 🦠Happy #WorldPhageWeek Check out our cross-journal Collection “Phages: from biology to the clinic”, with the latest on #phagebiology, phage–host interactions & #phagetherapy #PhageResearch #Bacteriophages #NaturePortfolio @natcomms.nature.com @natureportfolio.nature.com

Your weekend read VAP is one of the most common hospital-acquired infections, but #phages are here to help 🤝 In a murine model of VAP, the combination of phage and antibiotic therapy led to faster clinical improvement and prevented epithelial cell damage🐁🫁 #phagetherapy #VAP #pneumonia

Satisfaction during your #PhD is multifactorial. It's not only how *happy* you feel, but how you're supported within your environment. Beyond #funding, quality supervision and a healthy #worklifebalance are essential for students to feel supported and engaged. #PhDlife #PhDstudent #Research

In elephant news 🐘 A study led by the University of Surrey shows that a new vaccine can activate the immune system against EEHV, a deadly virus that affects many young African and Asian elephants. Read about their proof-of-concept trial here ⬇️ www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Did you know that the #T4SS can also mediate biofilm formation?🧫 A #Crohnsdisease associated E. coli strain carries a hybrid T4SS that drives pilin polymerization and #biofilm formation, leading to enhanced fitness in the gut. Read about it here ⬇️ @natcomms.nature.com #naturecommunications

A fresh of the press with a brilliant accompanying thread! Great work by @aliciapcv.bsky.social and colleagues @cnb-csic.bsky.social 👏 #plasmidbiology

The mRNA tech strikes *yet* again

Excited to share our latest work using AI-designed proteins to block heme-piracy by E. coli. Published in @natcomms.nature.com. A team effort between my lab and the ‪‪@knottrna.bsky.social‬ ‬lab, with experimental work led by the talented @danielrfox.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s41...

I am very happy to share our latest study on ciprofloxacin resistance instability in P. aeruginosa during periods of drug restriction. A fantastic collaboration @pablolaborda.bsky.social, RuggeroLaRosa, JLMartínez, SørenMolin & HelleJohansen 🥳 @cnb-csic.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s41...

The rhetorical question. However, it comes a point when all our spoken languages get jumbled up in our brains and we start speaking a mix of all 😅

Now published, congrats Bevika, Kinki, Vincent, Florian and Paddy! #MicroSky www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Very exciting new collection on the clinical #microbiome 🦠
