Presentation of Anne Chevallereau

Great talk today @cbitoulouse.bsky.social from @annechevallereau.bsky.social- on the importance of surface receptors in phage adsorption and of intracellular phage defense mechanisms - and the relative importance of each of them in shaping phage host range &productive phage infection 🦠

A screenshot of a paper on bioarxiv illustrating the lack of blue sky share button!

Would you like to see @biorxivpreprint.bsky.social add a share to blue sky button?! I know I would! Share this post to let @richardsever.bsky.social @erictopol.bsky.social and others at bioarxiv know!

Just out in The ISME Journal, a paper from my time in the Westra lab. We find that the extent of phage exposure shapes subsequent resistance dynamics over longer timescales (up to 30 days).

And huge thanks to first authors @bridgetwatson.bsky.social and Loris for mammoth experiments!
