Really pleased to share the first paper to come out of the lab.
We found that hospital patients were frequently colonised with P. aeruginosa and that the same clone was shared between the gut and the lung.
The phylogenies indicate that the clones moved from lung->gut

Now properly published at @natcomms.nature.com with few additional experiments incl. demonstration of Daptomycin's ability to depolarise non-growing cells.
See the original preprint-thread for a summary of our findings.

This week is World #AntimicrobialResistance Awareness week

To mark the occasion, Dr Scott-Dearing reflects on her @natcomms.nature.com paper published in January, noting the setbacks and progress made in tackling #AMR since
World AMR Awareness Week call to action: Patient and public involvement and engagement to improve impact on antimicrobial resistance – the time to act is now
A step change is required in citizen awareness of the global AMR health crisis and, crucially, public involvement in tackling it. The global context presents new challenges but real-world examples show what is possible and an historic moment approaches, that we can leverage for positive action.

Selection and transmission of the gut microbiome alone can shift mammalian behavior - Nature Communications
Here, the authors present evidence that the gut microbiome alone, without changes in the host genome, can shape how animals respond to selection, identifying a bacterium and its metabolite that independently reduce mouse locomotion.

Thanks D-BIOL for highlighting our recent @natcomms.nature.com paper on intracellular Salmonella virulence. We hope these strains will be a useful resource for the field!
Intracellular Salmonella require T3SS effectors to cause infection. A study by the Hardt lab @ethz.ch ETH Zürich gives new insights into which bacterial factors are critical for infection in vivo, and provides new tools for researchers to further explore. More: biol.ethz.ch/en/news-and-...
