Dientamoeba fragilis: a story of contradictions
Dientamoeba fragilis is a gastrointestinal parasite of controversial clinical significance. From its discovery until today, contradictory articles have been published on whether infection is correlated with symptoms, treatment is associated with recovery and whether infection is associated with elevated intestinal inflammatory markers (faecal calprotectin). Additionally, there is no consensus on the infective stage of the lifecycle. Competing theories propose that either Enterobius vermicularis ova act as a vector for the transmission of trophozoites or that the cyst stage, which is rarely...

The coolest finding of my PhD is finally out! E. coli has a 7th RND pump that is present in phylogroups B2/D/E/F but absent in A/B1/C. As a result EefABC has been absent in all K-12 RND studies! Co-authored by the very talented Dr. Lizzy Darby. @jessicamablair.bsky.social

The Resistance-Nodulation-Division efflux pump EefABC is highly conserved within lineages of E. coli commonly associated with infection
Resistance-nodulation-division (RND) efflux pumps confer multidrug resistance in Gram-negative bacteria and are critical for many physiological functions including virulence and biofilm formation. The...
