Curvy & (infectiously) confident

Cell-body curvature modulates stall frequency to enhance Vibrio cholerae swimming and chemotaxis through hydrogels The swimming motility of bacterial pathogen Vibrio cholerae is a virulence factor that aids in breaching the mucus layer of the small intestine. V. cholerae cells have a curved cell shape and previous...

First preprint of the Grognot Lab 🎉 in collab. with the amazing Gitai and Wingreen labs (Princeton U.)
🔬👨‍💻We used single-cell 3D tracking of V. cholerae, complemented by MD simulations, to better understand how being curved helps the pathogen navigate mucus-mimicking media.🦠

JB Editor's Choice: Waller, Ribardo & Hendrixson show that flagellar length impacts function, with short flagella slowing swimming and reducing host colonization, indicating the important of regulating the lenght of the filament.

And then there is the DFG (German Research Foundation) with no deadline for individual grants, not helping with a swift submission either.

Non-antibiotics disrupt colonization resistance against enteropathogens Nature - Non-antibiotic drugs from a wide range of therapeutic classes can alter the ability of gut commensals to resist invasion by enteropathogens, a previously underappreciated side effect of...

Finally online!
Our latest research is out @nature.com: We show that non-antibiotic drugs can disrupt colonization resistance, raising the risk of enteric infections.

Systematic screen uncovers regulator contributions to chemical cues in Escherichia coli Transport machineries are crucial for antibiotic resistance, but their regulation by external cues is poorly understood. This study identifies environmental chemicals that regulate transporter transcr...

Finally out! A small screen helps understand a little more about how E. coli regulates major transporters, and reveals how caffeine induces phenotypical antibiotic resistance. Huge thanks to collab @andrenmateus.bsky.social (Umeå) and Christian L. Müller (Munich)!
