Not just a pretty picture on the front cover of ACS Infectious Diseases (@ACS4Authors), this work by @JackKWaters, Ella Haracic, @XeniaKostoulias and @DrFranShort shows the alarming impact of Klebsiella pneumoniae infection on liver dyslipidemia. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

Very proud of @maoge_zang for graduating following the completion of a fantastic PhD on A. baumannii lipid homeostasis. Lawrence has published 8 papers and received multiple awards. Foremost, Lawrence is a very generous and kind lab member. Thank you so much Lawrence!

Did you know that bacterial pathogens have a love-hate relationship with lipids and fatty acids? Our latest review shows how they influence virulence. Congrats to @JackKWaters (first 1st-author pub 🎉) for collating this wonderful story. doi.org/10.1128/mmbr.0…

New work published in @Nature shows that rifaximin prophylaxis has resulted in the escalation of daptomycin resistance in Enterococci. Thanks to @adriannamturner for the research visit at @Flinders to work with us on this important study. rdcu.be/dXQ6r
