Yesterday I was honoured with the Kerscher scientific scholarship 2024! Let's get started with new #klebsiella projects. @klebclub.bsky.social
Recently our publication about the prevalence of putative hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae was published! Check out the differences between Austrian and German hospitals. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
Cross-border prevalence of putative-hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae differs between tertiary hospitals in Austria and Germany
We conducted a prospective testing protocol for surveillance of putative hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae in two tertiary hospitals in Germany and …

Exploring SNP filtering strategies: the influence of strict vs soft core
Phylogenetic analyses are crucial for understanding microbial evolution and infectious disease transmission. Bacterial phylogenies are often inferred from SNP alignments, with SNPs as the fundamental ...

❄️As the world's permafrost melts there's growing potential for microbes in Arctic #Soil to pose new global health challenges 🦠

Check out this paper from our customers that found haemolytic bacteria able grow at 37°C with #AMR genes to multiple drug classes 🧵👇

Crazy stuff in PNAS

dental plaque bacterium 𝘊𝘰𝘳𝘺𝘯𝘦𝘣𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘶𝘮 𝘮𝘢𝘵𝘳𝘶𝘤𝘩𝘰𝘵𝘪𝘪 can divide into an unprecedented 14 daughter cells at once—then each daughter cell starts growing immediately in a rare process called multiple fission, achieving 0.5 mm per day of expansion

These mouth bacteria use a new type of cell division to make 14 cells at once
The newfound strategy seen in C. matruchotii might help oral bacteria recover lost territory after each eviction by toothbrushing.
