Great fun collaborating with the Hung and Magolan groups on the discovery of new small molecule probes of the Gram-negative outer membrane. Tremendous leadership by @KristinaKlob and a huge effort by J-P Côté! pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

I’m glad to share our latest work in Coombes lab to study the fitness of AIEC in vivo. Using tnseq/rnaseq,we identified a role for T4SS in the gut. The bioinformatics part was a fun learning experience for me and I’m excited to use this further in my lab. nature.com/articles/s4146…

I am happy to announce that as of today the Elhenawy lab will take off at @UAlberta_MMI. Thus, the lab, Justin Bieber, and less importantly the PI, accidentally shared their birthdays! The lab will focus on investigating the role of pathobionts in driving Crohn's disease.

With growing evidence that carbon utilization is an Achilles heel for many pathogens, @maddytong led a genome-scale look at the growth of E. coli in 30 carbon sources. Shout out to the Karp Lab and the new metabolic modelling capabilities of @BioCyc.

I continue to be amazed by the contribution of physiological bicarbonate to antibiotic action. Very proud of this effort led by Maya Farha. Good fun as always to work with @agmcarthur laboratory. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

If your antibiotic discovery strategy involves targeting the outer membrane of Gram-negs, it's good to know that pesky resistance mechanisms may not spoil the party. Lovely work here by @craig_macnair who takes a thorough approach this question. mbio.asm.org/content/11/5/e…

I'm happy to share our work looking at non-hydrophilic enrichment based methods for glycoproteomics. If your interested in glycoproteomics, FAIMS or wondered what you may miss with HILIC based glycopeptide enrichment check it out👇 (summary below 1/13) biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Although peptidoglycan editing with D-lys protects Acinetobacter against other bugs’ T6SS, it seems that new clinical isolates lost the editing machinery to avoid the host immune system. Thanks to all the collaborators, and congrats Hung! ⁦ advances.sciencemag.org/content/6/30/e…

Our ex vivo lung infection model to investigate respiratory infections is out. Superb work by @DumiganAmy. mbio.asm.org/content/10/6/e… Great collaboration @dfmcauley team, and we believe cool model to assess treatments and investigate infection biology.

Excited to share our discovery from @eric_brown_bbs lab of a novel antivirulence agent that reverses b-lactam resistance in MRSA. Was fun collaborating with @deheinrichs and @McGavLab @WesternU and Mike Organ @OttawaU and Richard Epand @McMasterU on this! nature.com/articles/s4158…
