Microbiome and Staphylococcus aureus; Andreas Peschel

#ESCMIDGlobal2024

S. aureus evolves in nose. There are pathogen-microbiome interactions - exchange of genes (including resistance); and pathogen-excluding commensals (which can keep S. aureus out).

Final session on #Staphylococcus biology, pathophysiology, vaccination and treatment at #ESCMIDGlobal2024 - great update by Andreas Peschel and colleagues - 20 y of S.aureus bactereamia treatment - look at the „progress“ made - strong quote by Steven Tong

Honored to be a member of the European Academy of Microbiology FEMS now. Thanks all my current and previous team members for outstanding team work and contributions! Had a fantastic EAM Meeting in La Granja.

S.aureus secretes several #bacteriocins to compete with other bacteria. Stephen Garrett et al. review the roles of S. aureus’ arsenal of proteinaceous toxins and #T7SS in interbacterial competition🦠⚔️. academic.oup.com/femsmicrobes/a…

If you think you want more innate #immunity even after this great #Toll2024 week, come and speak to us about #NCII 2025 conference in Universität Tübingen Tübingen, Germany where the Toll story began! Find me at our stall (3rd floor foyer) and join us in June 2025!

Led by Jakob T Rostøl and Nuria Quiles, with Lasa_Lab, we show that prophages utilise noncontiguous operons to balance immunity and autoimmunity. Our results underscore the essential fine regulation of these processes for prophages' life cycle development.
