New preprint online! My favorite Streptococcus phage protein is actually an intrinsically disordered protein. The structure of paratox we know is only when its bound to ComR. @MBMicrobiology @umanitobasci @UofmMicroclub @UMmicrogsa @LauraInTheLab1

We colonized Ventura for the first ever Lactic Acid Bacteria GRC! What an incredible, supportive community for this chemist to be a part of 😊

The Entero/Strepto fields are well-represented at #LABGRC in windy Ventura. Thanks to @rabritton and Maria Marco for organizing the inaugural meeting!

The highlight of faculty life is our weekly zoom group who celebrates the wins and drags you through lows. PSA send alcohol for both. Drizzly is wicked fast. Today we celebrate @LindseyAtUTK for epic awesomeness!! #LeadingLadiesOfStrep @LauraInTheLab1 @Katy_Patras @Alison_Coady

MALICE IN CHAINS: “#StrepA was bad before the pandemic, is bad now, and will remain bad until we have a vaccine to reduce the enormous public health burden of life-threatening fast (iGAS) and slow (RHD) streptococcal diseases.” academic.oup.com/jid/advance…

Great work by @Rebecca_Keogh et al! Very excited to continue our studies on GBS in the diabetic wound.
Microbiologists have discovered specific mutations in Group B Streptococcus that are crucial for its resilience in #diabetic wound #infections.

Great networking, excellent talks, and the discovery of a new skill! Thank you @KdoranLab and organizers for such a good meeting! #GRCStrepBio22 #StrepYourGameUp

🚨Bacterial pathogenesis study sections are changing!! I spent the last 3 years failing to make sense of BACP, HIBP, etc - seemed like a random grab bag ending in assignment to overflow special emphasis panels. Time to learn about BHI, BV, IHD, IMII, and PCMB. 🤓#grant #nih #csr – at Santa Cruz, CA
Major re-vamp of ID study sections at CSR/NIH. After 2 years of overflowing virology panels, the expansion is refreshing (VIRA and VIRB are basically becoming 3 study sections- MCV, VPI, and VDT). Changes start with spring review panels (fall submissions). public.csr.nih.gov/StudySect…
