New preprint from our lab! We found that Staph aureus evolves tolerance to pyocyanin produced by Pseudomonas aeruginosa via CodY mutations. Project was started by @saraalexander.bsky.social and then led by @tmartini.bsky.social who tested so many possibilities to pin down the mechanism!

Check out our preprint from @anukharelab.bsky.social at NIH about how the bacterial pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa co-opts interkingdom secreted public goods for flagellar-based motility!
