Microbiologists, take a bit of your time to advise FEMS online!
Learned societies are the backbone of science - let's support them (and let them support us)
Final 48 Hours!

A huge THANK YOU to everyone who has already completed the FEMS survey. Your input is shaping the future of microbiology.

Have not finished yet? Please take a few more minutes to complete it. Every completed response is vital.

📖 Perfect weekend reading for fungal fans! 😉 Our @mpm-hki.bsky.social colleagues uncover how #CandidaAlbicans manages to invade tissue as hyphae but spread as yeast. Published in @femsjournals.bsky.social.

🧑🏻‍🔬: @jlspragu.bsky.social
#C.albicans invades tissues as hyphae but spreads as yeast, How?
@jlspragu.bsky.social & coll. show yeast can reach the bloodstream by hitchhiking with invasive hyphae or by switching forms. 🧫 More clues for understanding systemic infections !
