Does anyone know where one could can obtain a stock of E. coli UTI89 from? It is unavailable at both NCTC and ATCC. 🧫

Bacillus people - I am trying to make modified competence medium as described by Jason Peters (doi.org/10.1002/cpmc...) but the MnCl2.4H2O is crashing out. Any suggestions? Is the medium normally cloudy..? 😵‍💫 #microsky

E. coli ST131 is becoming carbapenem resistant. I suspect as CTX-M moves onto the chromosome and the F plasmid is lost facilitating acquisition of carbapenemase plasmids. No good can come of this

Hi all, I'd like to share some news - I will soon be moving to Lisbon, Portugal to start my very own lab @gimminstitute.bsky.social! The Epithelial Biology of Apicomplexan Infections lab (Epi-Api lab for short) will focus on the special relationship between #epithelial cells and #Cryptosporidium.

It is with deep sadness that we share the passing of Professor Jeff Cole. An esteemed academic, Jeffs research on bacterial adaptation to oxygen and nitrosative stress made a lasting impact on the field. He mentored nearly 60 doctoral students, our thoughts are with his family, friends & colleagues

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition. Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

She made key contributions to US cold-war science despite facing huge barriers as a Black woman.
