Excited to share our latest work studying pneumococcal pneumonia. We found that pneumococcal population structures undergo massive changes within the lung. This bacteriocin-mediated turnover of the population "promotes" pneumococcal pneumonia

🚨Excited to share our new study below!🚨
1/7: Childhood mortality from bacterial respiratory & enteric pathogens remains a global concern. But what compromises infants' ability to fight infections? Our study delves into the immune deficiencies intrinsic to early age.

Why are infants susceptible to invasive pneumococcal diseases? Excited to share our latest work led by @LokkenToyli which explores this question and elucidates the age-dependent mechanisms that drive pneumococcal spread from the mucosa. @PLOSPathogens

I’m biased, but this is such a cool paper and very happy that it’s now published @NatureComms 😀Congratulations to Anne-Stéphanie @vrrenske @suryad26 @WeiserLabNYU @LalouxLab @santosmoreno_j @YSchaerli! nature.com/articles/s41467-0…

Happy to share our latest work from @cwb315 that was published in @ImmunityCP earlier today!! Here is a tweetorial summarizing the major findings from this work.
Feels surreal but here it goes! Elated to share that my primary research from @WeiserLabNYU @nyugrossman @nyulangone is now out at @ImmunityCP! Tweetorial ahead! 1/n 🧵

A selfish bacteriocin dictates pneumococcal domination:Trappetti/Paton discuss @suryad26 @WeiserLabNYU work on population dynamics of S.pneumoniae colonization. Bacteriocin promotes survival of lineages, providing population bottleneck & limiting diversity cell.com/cell-host-microbe/f…

A selfish program reduces S. pneumoniae diversity. Intra-strain competition upon #Spneumoniae colonization causes loss of clonal diversity. Bacteriocins induced by BlpC led to predation of kin & tightening of population bottlenecks @suryad26 @WeiserLabNYU cell.com/cell-host-microbe/f…

Pleased to share some of our latest work available online now in @cellhostmicrobe. In this work, we discovered that quorum sensing induced bacteriocins mediate intra-strain competition in pneumococcus during colonization and transmission.

Excited to share our latest from @suryad26, now on @biorxiv! We describe the unexpected role of BlpC in driving intra-strain competitive success, with physiological consequences on ecology of the colonizing strain and importantly, transmission to new hosts! Tweetorial below.

Happy to share this manuscript where we study the population dynamics of pneumococcus during colonization and transmission. We used chromosomal barcoding to examine how the population structure of pneumococcus changes following infection. (1/n)

Excited to share our latest work at @mbiojournal, where we dissect the role of serotype on pneumococcal colonization dynamics and transmission using isogenic capsule-switch mutants and in vivo competitive assays!

Key point: Our data suggests a "winner-takes-all" scenario, whereby serotype is a crucial factor in determining early niche dominance of the strain in the upper respiratory tract, and the dominant strain is able to exclude competing strains via fratricide.
