🦠🔬An international team of researchers has found that an antibiotic commonly prescribed for patients with liver disease, has led to the global emergence of an almost untreatable form of antimicrobial resistant superbug. go.unimelb.edu.au/4zg8 @UniMelbMDHS @TheRMH @Austin_Health @UniMelb

Our latest #compchem work is part of a multidisciplinary study on metal binding proteins in Haemophilus influenza.
Part of our long-standing collaboration with @camcdevitt @McDevitt_Lab @Kobe_Lab_ #Biology #biomed
How does the pathogenic #bacteria Haemophilus influenzae scavenge the crucial #biometal #manganese? New work from @McDevitt_Lab @KapplerUlrike @Kobe_Lab_ @DeplazesEvelyne reveals the role of HfeA and its ABC transporter in metal scavenging and virulence.

ALT The Hfe permease and Haemophilus influenzae manganese homeostasis. The Gram-negative bacterial pathogen Haemophilus influenzae use the manganese-recruiting protein HfeA to import the metal via the HfeBCD transporter into the bacterial cytoplasm. Here, contributes to protection against reactive oxidative species (ROS) stress as a cofactor in the manganese-superoxide dismutase (MnSOD). In a HfeA deficient strain, manganese cannot be transported by this pathway, resulting in loss of MnSOD activity and increased susceptibility to ROS stress.

📢Very proud of this work – initially supported by the C. Andrew Ramsden ECR Collaborative Award that I won with my friend Dr Anna Schroeder.
After all the lockdowns & the great addition of others to the team, happy to finally see this published

Stop the spread of Buruli ulcer by protecting yourself from mosquitoes. New research now proves this is how the disease is spread from the environment to humans.
