New name, same old me! Me and my wife decided to take Saratto, from her father’s side, as our new surname. The wedding itself was already in September, we just were a bit slow with the name change 🎉

Brilliant new preprint! Genomic outbreak analysis in minutes instead of weeks, by using the Solu Platform. This is exactly what we built the platform for: fast onsite genomic analysis, paired with data sharing to national public health experts. The future is here!

Our work on genetic determinants for S. aureus fitness in milk is now available online. The study also exemplifies how milk can modulate antibiotic susceptibility. Congrats @MaritaMarli and thanks to all collaborators (@DPorcellato @JWVeening @vincentdebakker @liuxuescience)!
Great collaboration with @Morten3891 to figure out which genes are required for Staphylococcus aureus to live in milk. Important to know due to Staphs ability to cause bovine mastitis and food poisoning biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
