E. coli can modify their ribosomes by shedding specific chemicals in response to antibiotics like streptomycin and kasugamycin, making the drugs less effective. This adaptive mechanism represents a novel way bacteria develop resistance, posing challenges for combating AMR.

Native RNA nanopore sequencing reveals antibiotic-induced loss of rRNA modifications in the A- and P-sites - Nature Communications
It remains unclear whether rRNA modifications can be naturally altered in response to antibiotics in bacteria. Here, the authors analyzed direct RNA nanopore sequencing data with an analytical pipelin...

So long, London! Headed back to DC soon. It’s been a great trip from Paris for #KLEBS2024, train to London and we visited Buckingham Palace, Big Ben, Westminster Abbey and the Tower Bridge. Then rented a car and spent the last two days of our trip in the Cotswolds.

Vacation in the Cotswolds! Had dinner at Smiths at Bourton-on-the-water last night.

Time to say 'Au revoir Paris' after a fantastic #KLEBS2024. Great science and great people. So proud to have @tomstantonmicro.bsky.social @kalanip.bsky.social @bananabenana.bsky.social representing the lab, and congrats to Tom and Kalani for their poster prizes! 👏

Every year, >200K newborns die from sepsis.
Our team used machine learning to develop a set of genes that can predict neonatal sepsis risk using at birth blood samples.

Predictive gene expression signature diagnoses neonatal sepsis before clinical presentation
Despite appearing healthy at birth, neonates who later developed EOS already had distinct
whole blood gene expression changes at birth, which enabled the development of a 4-gene
predictive signature f...
