This paper has been a long time coming: We looked at the genomes of historical bacterial samples over a century to look for trends of antibiotic resistance genes, finding multiple instances of them in infections before the age of antibiotics, but an increase in both frequency and mobility after

Check out this amazing preprint from my @isbscience.org colleague @annabiosys.bsky.social's lab!

Gupta et al. captured the entire infection cycle of an uncharacterized phage through single-cell RNA-seq of a B. fragilis population (capturing cells at different points in the infection cycle). 🤩

Anna Kuchina @annabiosys.bsky.social · Jan 16

How can single-cell transcriptomics profile phage infection in individual microbial cells? Check out our preprint with Anika Gupta, Norma Morella, Dmitry Sutormin & other authors, in collaboration with Georg Seelig (UW) and Neel Dey (Fred Hutch). www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Combinatorial phenotypic landscape enables bacterial resistance to phage infection

Success of phage therapies is limited by bacterial defenses against phages. While a large variety of anti-phage defense mechanisms has been characterized, how expression of these systems is distribute...

Doing #Science is only half the work – you also need to share it with the world !🌍

Congratulations to our talented young scientists for great presentations of their research and winning well-deserved prizes at the First Research Festival of the Medical Faculty at
@uni-kiel.de !🧪

A group of 11 scientists pose for a picture after receiving their award for outstanding poster contributions and presentations. Each researcher holds a purple certificate. The dean and the co-dean of the faculty stand beside them on the left.
