Salmonella triggers amino acid malabsorption in the ileum to create a a wave of lysine entering the cecum. Decarboxylation of lysine buffers the cytosol to protect against short-chain fatty acids, enabling the pathogen to invade the cecal ecosystem.

I’m incredibly excited to be joining the Dunn School this Sep! Can’t wait to join the fantastic environment and many groups working on the cellular mechanisms underlying human health and disease @Dunn_School
We are delighted to announce that Teresa Thurston is joining the Dunn School as an Associate Professor!
@ThurstonLab uses a multidisciplinary approach to study bacterial virulence factors and host immunity.

Bacteria can counter noncanonical lipid ubiquitination with a #ubiquitin esterase! Fantastic collaboration with @ThurstonLab and @CMBI_Szczesna, with @r_lacoursiere driving our side of the project using some amazing tools built by the Geurink lab.

We use Rb-Tn-seq to identify all genes used by Salmonella Typhimurium, Typhi & Paratyphi A to respond to 25 infection-related stresses encountered through human infection
= thousands of fitness effects !!
