Glad to have this out in the world 🤓 If you want to genetically modify Staphylococcus haemolyticus, you have to dodge its phage defence systems! 🧬🧫 www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/jour...

Genetic engineering of Staphylococcus haemolyticus: overcoming restriction-modification barriers and targeting virulence genesStaphylococcus haemolyticus is an emerging multidrug-resistant nosocomial pathogen noted for robust biofilm formation and complex restriction-modification (RM) systems that hinder genetic manipulation...www.microbiologyresearch.org

Presenting a poster at the Viruses of Microbes conference! This was the work of our Master's student @Marriam Aslam. We tried phage trainimg to make phage Mystique a better killer...She wasn't really into it 😅

You need a name to yell at instruments when they misbehave! And also to tell them when they have done a good job of course 😅🔬

Today is my first day joining @ellinoralseth.bsky.social in the Alseth lab! Excited to get started working with Acinetobacter baumanii and its phage Mystique🦠🧪🤓 #PhageSky

After many challenges along the way, I am happy to say our work on evading RM systems to transform Staphylococcus haemolyticus is now out as a preprint! 🦠 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6... #microsky

Finally made the jump to @bsky.app! Hello World!🤓 Have a close-up of Staphylococcus haemolyticus to celebrate 🥳🔬
