Commensal bacteria are crucial for microbiome interactions and pathogen exclusion but are often very difficult to tackle genetically. Our new paper describes an intriguing advance:

It turns out bacteria can make and secrete bacteriocins from transmembrane proteins. Check out our new study led by Fauzia Nur.

Great to see Sam's work on PdhD out now in Microbiology! Very cool story showing how subtle metabolic adaptations can give Staph an edge during systemic invasion #microsky

Over three decades, rapid expansion of the transposable element ISL3 has reshaped Enterococcus faecium, which helps to explain this pathogen’s growing clinical threat.
Interesting insights into the role of S aureus PSMs in macrophage infection! #microsky

🎉Excited to share our new preprint!
TIR domains from diverse animals, including human TLR4, are catalytically active and produce cyclic ADP-ribose (cADPR). This enzymatic activity is widespread in animals and conserved across the tree of life.
