Super cool story from Sam Fenn. He developed a wound model where s. aureus & p. aerunginosa & c. albicans fight it out shows that copper is central to the outcome where Candida and pseudomonas take copper from human tissue to gang up on staph! But staph being staph is as always one step ahead….

The first of some rather chunky papers coming out of Sam Fenn’s work here at @uccmicrobiology.bsky.social Here we identify and characterise yet another way S. aureus survives life in the bloodstream, but remodelling a major part of its metabolism

Metabolic reprogramming promotes Staphylococcus aureus serum resistance during bacteraemia.

Staphylococcus aureus is a leading cause of bloodstream infections causing an estimated 300,000 deaths worldwide. Using a functional genomics approach, our group previously identified that adaptation ...

Bacteria chromosomes contain Genomic Islands that provide virulence, antibiotic resistance, MGE-defence,... They transfer between cells, but the mechanism of most remains elusive. Here we explore the conjugative capacity of these mysterious Genomic Islands. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...
