Why is Staphylococcus aureus called “aureus”? ✨ Its name comes from the Latin word for golden, inspired by the characteristic yellow–gold pigment called staphyloxanthin, that protect itself from oxidative stress.🦠💛 #AUREUS #ABitOfScience #StaphylococcusAureus #Microbiology #ScienceCommunication

🦠 Monday = Journal Club day! 📚🔬 This time, Anna Sofia Parianou (DC9) took the stage to guide us through some very unusual S. aureus science: turning bacteria into… stone?! 🪨🦠 Thanks Anna Sofia for leading this month’s session! 💜 #AUREUS #JournalClub #MSCA #DoctoralNetwork #PhDLife

Ever wondered what a “Marie Curie PhD” actually is? 👩🏼‍🔬🇪🇺 When I first heard about the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions, I didn’t really know what being part of a Doctoral Network would work. Curious about how to find and apply for an MSCA PhD position? #MSCA #MSCActions #DoctoralNetwork #science

🦠 Mood of the day: “It depends on the environment.” Apparently, that’s true not only for PhD students, but also for Staphylococcus aureus! Today’s Journal Club explored how environmental conditions shape WTA glycosylation. Thanks, Antonio Marotta (DC10), for the insightful presentation!

Meet 𝑆𝑡𝑎𝑝ℎ𝑦𝑙𝑜𝑐𝑜𝑐𝑐𝑢𝑠 𝑎𝑢𝑟𝑒𝑢𝑠.⁣ It lives on your skin. Probably right now.⁣ No need to panic. About 30% of people carry it without any symptoms. But if it gets into a wound or the bloodstream, it can cause infections ranging from minor skin issues to serious disease. #medsky #microbiology #science
