Thank you to all attendees and keynote speakers, Florence Niedergang and Raphael Valdivia, for sharing their enthusiasm for science and their exciting research. It was fantastic to host all of you for the 2026 UK Cellular Microbiology Network Meeting! Safe journey home and see you next year!

Last chance to register for the 2026 UK Cellular Microbiology Network Meeting - closing tomorrow 4th of June! Two exiting keynotes and 27 ECR presentations showcasing host-pathogen interactions. Poster abstracts will still be considered. June 22nd/23rd @WWIEM in Belfast. www.ukcellmicro.org

New📜 from our lab provides a mechanism for how gut Bacteroides evolve effector repertoires secreted by conserved T6SSs, shaping competition and gut biodiversity 🦠 Heteromeric Hcp proteins recognise and “carry” multiple effectors minimizing protein sequence variability 🧬 doi.org/10.1016/j.jb...

Knowing how much hard work went into this paper, it's great to see it published. Congrats to the @lab-puhar.bsky.social for their great results!

Our first effort exploring gut bacteria-extracellular ATP interactions is published! We show that eATP rewires gene expression and physiology in harmless and pathogenic bacteria, impacting production of bioactive metabolites, antimicrobial sensitivity, and virulence.

Enhanced virulence and stress tolerance are signatures of epidemiologically successful Shigella sonnei @sydneylmiles.bsky.social @katholt.bsky.social 🙏to transformative collaborative effort www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Hope to see you in Belfast next June!

Experts, including some of our members, weigh in on the UK’s first human case of avian flu, as confirmed by UKHSA. What does this mean for public health? Find out more: 🔗

This looks like a cool opportunity! 🚀🔬 #Research #Science

Would you want to join us to drive a project to correlate X-ray tomography with spatial transcriptomics? Are you passionate about details, love bench work have a PhD in an area of biology that fits tissue work, molecular biology and imaging? Apply here: embl.wd103.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/EMBL/d...

I don't want to start a thing, but I find I have to keep repeating myself on this. AMR does not kill people. Pathogens kill people. AMR prevents us from saving people from dying of infectious diseases.

Wrapping up 2024 and looking for a #postdoc opportunity in 2025? Still time to apply! #AcademicSky #MicroSky #postdocjob #Science #GISky Please share!

@shemandshaun as the quiz master at the WWIEM Christmas party! We were the Illusion buffers. Great effort team!

Let's start the Bsky adventure with a job post. Still about two weeks to apply to this postdoc position on "Molecular and Structural Biology of Membrane Biogenesis" in the labs @raffaeleieva.bsky.social ky.social and @fronzeslab.bsky.social slab.bsky.social in beautiful south-west of France!

🧬A very interesting paper on a Parkinson's disease drug reveals notable effects on iron abundance and microbiota biodiversity. Really cool experiments using ex vivo gut microbiome samples. #Science #Parkinsons #Aging #Microbiome #Research www.nature.com/articles/s41...

The Parkinson’s disease drug entacapone disrupts gut microbiome homoeostasis via iron sequestration - Nature Microbiology

Entacapone, a Parkinson’s disease medication, sequesters iron resulting in a selective inhibition of gut microbial activity.
