Our grad student @katherinelegg.bsky.social was a co-author on this recent publication in collaboration with the Reniere lab at UW! @gramnegativity.bsky.social was first author and has a great thread below going over the paper. Congrats Katherine, Lauren and all those involved!
The latest (and penultimate! 👀) article from the @mreniere.bsky.social lab is finally out! I’m really proud of this one in which I took a genetic approach (shocking, I know) to probe how Staph is able to grow in cystic fibrosis sputum: journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/...
Analysis of genetic requirements and nutrient availability for Staphylococcus aureus growth in cystic fibrosis sputum | mBio
Staphylococcus aureus is a major cause of lung infections in people with cystic fibrosis (CF). This work
identifies genes required for S. aureus growth in this niche, which represent potential targets...
