I'm excited to share our latest research on Enterobacter's infection biology in the Journal of Infectious Diseases (tinyurl.com/bcxmn8nc), showing that antimicrobial-resistant Enterobacter species can persist in human macrophages without replication, causing minimal cytotoxicity.
Clinical isolates of antimicrobial resistant Enterobacter species can persist in human macrophages without replication and overt cellular cytotoxicity
This study underscores the capacity of antibiotic-resistant Enterobacter clinical isolates to persist in macrophages without significantly alerting the inn

Dear Friends and Colleagues
I would like to communicate that effective today, I am cancelling my X (twitter) account. I realise my decision will not have a worldwide impact, but it is the best I can do for now. You could follow me on this venue and also in www.linkedin.com/in/miguel-a-...

Thank you to the American Academy of Microbiology for electing me as Fellow; I dedicate this honour to the wonderful people from my lab and the many collaborators whom I was fortunate to work with over so many years. They continue to make my research a lifestyle rather than just work.

Research on so-called mirror cells, which defy fundamental properties of living organisms, should be prohibited as too dangerous, biologists said.

Fantastic opportunity for students all over the world, interested in genomics, to pursue a PhD at the Sanger Institute in Cambridge. I was lucky enough to join the Sanger PhD Program in 2005 (OMG 20 years ago!) and it changed my life in so many ways.
last couple days to apply (for free! from anywhere in the world!) to the Sanger 2025 PhD Programme — Deadline: 28th November 2024 (09:00 GMT)
