Thrilled to present my lab’s work at @escmid.bsky.social. Also chuffed to have bumped into fellow @klebclub.bsky.social member, Renee @fleemanlab.bsky.social!

So excited to be in Vienna for #ESCMID2025 where I will be giving a talk on how our peptides can disrupt K. pneumoniae biofilms. If you are around this Tuesday come check it out!!!

My students did an amazing job this weekend showcasing our work at #FLASM2025! It’s very rewarding seeing them grow and learn 😊

Interested in antimicrobial peptides! Follow us and join our group! Membership is free and includes webinars and a mentoring program to connect researchers!

Really glad I could contribute to this work exploring biofilm formation, mucoidy and tip adhesin diversity in #klebsiella. For those in #KLEBS2024, I provided a sneak peak of the potential relation between K3 serotype & HMV This is also my first publication since I joined @cbitoulouse.bsky.social !

Check out our latest publication aligning the MRSN panel biofilm and mucoid phenotypes to the genotypes in npj Biofilms and Microbiomes! Special thanks to my collaborators on this work @olayarendueles.bsky.social and Taj Azarian! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Had a great time at #KLEBS2024 !! Great science, beautiful city, new connections, and caught up with old friends! I was even lucky enough to give a seminar at Institut Pasteur on Friday. Bonus shower at the United club tonight in Newark using my one time pass 🚿🚿

🎨 In case anyone need… The NIH BioArt Source is an awesome library of *free* professionally drawn illustrations for scientific presentations or figures. Downloadable in HD. Thank you NIH for this invaluable tool 🙏! Check it out 👇 bioart.niaid.nih.gov

Conversation with the brilliant contemporary microbiologist and molecular biologist—HHMI and MacArthur Fellow Bonnie Bassler of Princeton University Pioneer in the chemical signaling mechanisms that bacteria use to communicate with each other known as “quorum sensing” www.hhmi.org/news/tapping...

not a cell phone in sight just people living in the moment #MicroSky #IDSky

#KLEBS2024 Day 2 excellent line up of amazing talks! I’m looking forward to learning about K pneumoniae today! And watching the beautiful snow in Paris 🥰

#KLEBS2024 interesting talk of Fernando G-Candelas on the very thorough PhD work of Neris Gonzalez on the diversity & prevalence of carbapenem and 3CG resistance and their transmission patterns across hospitals of Comunitat Valenciana

I'm not hopeful that we'll make it out of the current anti-vax craze without first experiencing massive resurgence of preventable infectious disease. People no longer have a lived experience of what happens during outbreaks of measles, polio, smallpox, pertussis, etc.

Too often, non-standard methods in MIC testing impact reproducibility in AMR research. For more reliability: "Antibiotic susceptibility testing using minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) assays." -> from Laura Piddocks's tweet/X www.nature.com/articles/s44...

🚨 BIG NEWS‼️ I am thrilled to announce that I will be joining the Host-Microbe Interactions Dept. @StJude Children’s Research Hospital! Looking forward to seeing first-hand the unparalleled vision for the HMI Dept. unfold, and add my grain of sand to @StJudeResearch
