Great collaboration with @LabSchembri, @pmduy and @MetaboHorst . Very pleased to have been part of this study.
We combined TraDIS and metabolomics to identify new genes required for growth in human urine by multidrug-resistant Escherichia coli ST131 in a study led by @pmduy in collaboration with @KapplerUlrike and @MetaboHorst journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128…

#UQ researchers have discovered that a mutation allows some E. coli bacteria to invade the body while others are harmless, a finding that could help fight antibiotic resistance. Read more about the @IMatUQ finding via @IFLScience brnw.ch/21wHh0m
