Check out @julielebris.bsky.social’s thread on our latest manuscript describing phenotypic heterogeneity in capsule production in Klebsiella & Acinetobacter @klebclub.bsky.social

This work started when I was still in @pasteur.fr & got finished in @cbitoulouse.bsky.social

Delighted to share our recently published work!
Ever wondered how Klebsiella (and others) deals with capsule production’s costs ?
The paper: journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/...

Phenotypic heterogeneity of capsule production across opportunistic pathogens | mBio

The polysaccharidic capsule is present in ~50% of species across the bacterial phylogeny, including all ESKAPE microorganisms, the six most significant multidrug-resistant (MDR) nosocomial pathogens. It is also an important virulence factor and a major ...

🐜 How do ants navigate 100+ metres of forest with tiny, low-res eyes, and never get lost?

Antoine Wystrach @cbitoulouse.bsky.social dives into the genius of these insect navigators who mange to find their way without GPS or trails, just memory and vision.

Is our gut epithelium a little cracked ? Turns out—yes🤯 , and especially around goblet cells! Check out the new preprint from our very talented neighbors @cbitoulouse.bsky.social👇

Denis Krndija @deniskrndija.bsky.social · Apr 6

🥳 Thrilled to share our lab's first preprint, led by our talented postdoc Justine Creff! 👩🏻‍🔬 We tackled a fundamental question: how the epithelium withstands mechanical stress at the interface of cells with distinct geometries and mechanics, such as enterocytes (E) and goblet cells (G) (1/9)
