Does media matter? RNAseq of S. aureus growing in LB broth vs. synthetic wound fluid shows differential expression of genes involved in efflux, virulence & ion transport. Work led by @tosinorababa.bsky.social: his first manuscript from independent funding! #MicroSky www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Does media matter? Growth environment influence antimicrobial tolerance and expression of virulence and transmembrane ion transport-associated genes in MRSAClinically relevant pathogens are often tested for antimicrobial susceptibility using standard laboratory media that poorly reflect the in vivo environments in which they cause infections, leading to ...www.biorxiv.org
