Disrupting bacterial communication signals to treat diseases is not always beneficial. This is what a new study led by @KimInGeneva (#UNIGE} and @HarisAntypas (@NTUsg) shows. ow.ly/KHFU50Yk5iz

Iβm excited to share that this study I am first author from the lab of @KimInGeneva (three continents effort!) is out!
E. faecalis-derived lactic acid suppresses macrophage activation, enabling persistent and polymicrobial wound infections.
E. faecalis lactic acid suppresses macrophages
Enterococcus faecalis-derived lactic acid suppresses macrophage NF-ΞΊB activation via MCT-1 & GPR81. This lactic-acid-driven immunosuppression promotes bacterial persistence & polymicrobial infection

The Streptococcal Biology GRC/GRS are open for applications. Acceptances are underway and the meeting is on track to fill up.
If youβre aiming for a short talk (lots of slots), registering early is important for full consideration.
Plz share widely!

Getting the spiderwebs out to excitedly share our new work @KimInGeneva lab. We studied how Enterococci use lactic acid to suppress the inflammatory response and promote virulence.

Calling all Enterococcal researchers & enthusiasts! π¦ We've really appreciated the Enterococcal tools available @Biocyc, especially with upgraded curation, so I'm happy to spread the good word to those who are still out there.
11 Sep 2024
Check out the recent @BioCyc release, which also includes newly curated Tier 2 databases for Enterococcus faecalis V583 and OG1RF. A big shoutout to @KimInGeneva and @josealemos for their guidance in navigating enterococcal research!

Our previously preprinted work on E. faecalis HtrA is now out @PLOSGenetics. A project close to my β€οΈ, started in πΈπ¬ by Adeline Yong and finished inπ¨π by @CristinaColome8 and supported by an international cast! journals.plos.org/plosgenetiβ¦

The latest preprint from the lab is up. Here we asked how the cell responds when pilus biogenesis goes off the rails in E. faecalis. π± Come for the chaperone/protease action, stay for the WEIRD morphologies & two component system induction. π
