It's seem like arginine is emerging as a major host cue. So we wrote an IAI minireview on how arginine levels vary between host tissues and affect microbial behavior. The review is online today! journals.asm.org/doi/epdf/10.... @brookeeryan3.bsky.social #microsky

Our paper reporting a highly conserved mechanism by which arginine positively regulates hypervirulent K. pneumoniae mucoid phenotype is now fully online. rdcu.be/euiWG Summary picture is below, but details in the 🧵

📣Introducing Dr. @brookeeryan3.bsky.social! First Mike Lab defense and Brooke knocked it out of the park, can't wait to share her work soon. Congratulations! 🥂

Congrats Saroj on a wonderful and informative review!

Very excited to have had the opportunity to present an elevator pitch of my work at the UPMC Women’s Initiative Taskforce Symposium. It was amazing to be able to represent the Mike Lab at my first public talk!

New preprint from the Mike Lab. Super excited to have worked on this project!
