Happily representing @multidefence.bsky.social at the #EESMicrobiology in Heidelberg!
Come to my poster if interested in prophage-mediated phage defence!
Also don't miss @emgoodall.bsky.social's talk today, and @alekseiagapov.bsky.social and @davvi36.bsky.social posters!

As part of the @multidefence.bsky.social consortium, we worked with a globally curated dataset of >4,000 P. aeruginosa (from 10.1126/science.adi0908) to reveal differences in the number and composition of defence systems between isolates from (and not from) cystic fibrosis cases 2/n

🔬 Three fronts in bacterial defense!
At EMBO symposium this week in Paris, our PIs showcased:
• @mfwhite2.bsky.social: cyclic nucleotide defence signaling
• Prof. Stineke Van Houte: prophage warfare in P. aeruginosa
• Prof. Tim Blower: autoregulating toxins & phage defence
