Resistance to last-resort antibiotics in enterococci
Abstract. The genus Enterococcus comprises a diverse group of species, many of which are commensal members of the gut microbiota of humans and animals. The
Delighted that our review on resistance to last-resort antibiotics in Enterococci has been published in FEMS Microbiology Reviews
academic.oup.com/femsre/advan... (accepted manuscript version)
TL;DR: the Enterococci are really good at evolving resistance to antibiotics in new and creative ways.

PNGaseA-mediated N-glycan stripping from peptides by infant-derived Bifidobacterium bifidum
N-glycans are highly common sources of nutrition for human colonic-dwelling bacteria. These microbes have evolved a several methods to remove N-glycans from proteins; herein we describe the biochemica...
🚨 New preprint klaxon 🚨
We characterised the structure of a PNGaseA superfamily member from Bifidobacterium bifidum LMG13195 and highlight its preference for N-glycan structures attached to a peptide, rather than to a native or denatured protein 💫 @imibirmingham.bsky.social
