Fleeman Lab

Thrilled to present my lab’s work at @escmid.bsky.social. Also chuffed to have bumped into fellow @klebclub.bsky.social member, Renee @fleemanlab.bsky.social!

So excited to be in Vienna for #ESCMID2025 where I will be giving a talk on how our peptides can disrupt K. pneumoniae biofilms.

If you are around this Tuesday come check it out!!!

My students did an amazing job this weekend showcasing our work at #FLASM2025! It’s very rewarding seeing them grow and learn 😊

Interested in antimicrobial peptides! Follow us and join our group! Membership is free and includes webinars and a mentoring program to connect researchers!

Thank you @olayarendueles.bsky.social It was great working together and I look forward to working with you in the future!! 👩‍🔬👩‍🔬

Really glad I could contribute to this work exploring biofilm formation, mucoidy and tip adhesin diversity in #klebsiella.
For those in #KLEBS2024, I provided a sneak peak of the potential relation between K3 serotype & HMV
This is also my first publication since I joined @cbitoulouse.bsky.social !

Diverse polysaccharide production and biofilm formation abilities of clinical Klebsiella pneumoniae - npj Biofilms and Microbiomes npj Biofilms and Microbiomes - Diverse polysaccharide production and biofilm formation abilities of clinical Klebsiella pneumoniae

Check out our latest publication aligning the MRSN panel biofilm and mucoid phenotypes to the genotypes in npj Biofilms and Microbiomes!

Special thanks to my collaborators on this work
@olayarendueles.bsky.social and Taj Azarian!

Had a great time at #KLEBS2024 !! Great science, beautiful city, new connections, and caught up with old friends! I was even lucky enough to give a seminar at Institut Pasteur on Friday. Bonus shower at the United club tonight in Newark using my one time pass 🚿🚿

#KLEBS2024 Day 2 excellent line up of amazing talks! I’m looking forward to learning about K pneumoniae today! And watching the beautiful snow in Paris 🥰

#KLEBS2024 interesting talk of Fernando G-Candelas on the very thorough PhD work of Neris Gonzalez on the diversity & prevalence of carbapenem and 3CG resistance and their transmission patterns across hospitals of Comunitat Valenciana

I'm not hopeful that we'll make it out of the current anti-vax craze without first experiencing massive resurgence of preventable infectious disease. People no longer have a lived experience of what happens during outbreaks of measles, polio, smallpox, pertussis, etc.
