We didn't just trust these antibodies. We validated them, and too many still failed. Scientists lost time and money because of this. Every scientist working with antibodies should be outraged. Who is organizing a class action?

Crucially, we found that we can reverse this paralysis. By adding antioxidants (like catalase) to the wound, we neutralized the ROS and restarted the healing process. This could be a new blueprint for treating chronic diabetic ulcers when combined with topical antimicrobials.

Guillaume Thibault @gthibault.bsky.social · 17/01/2026

The evidence is in the movement (or lack thereof). 👇 Left: Uninfected cells closing the wound. Middle: Infected cells paralyzed by the bacteria. Right ΔEET): Mutant bacteria that cannot produce the ROS. Note how the wound closes just like the healthy control!

Guillaume Thibault @gthibault.bsky.social · 17/01/2026

Most bacteria generate ROS inside their cell but E. faecalis generates ROS outside its cell. Our study shows this process generates hydrogen peroxide at the wound interface. This oxidative stress triggers the unfolded protein response (UPR) in the host skin cells, stopping them from migrating.

Guillaume Thibault @gthibault.bsky.social · 17/01/2026

We’ve discovered how the superbug E. faecalis prevents chronic wounds from healing. It’s not a toxin. It’s metabolism. The bacteria use extracellular electron transport (EET) to electrochemically generate ROS, effectively "freezing" skin cells in place. doi.org/10.1126/sciadv.aeb5297
