In new work just published in @cp-trendsmicrobiol.bsky.social, we reviewed exciting new data in #abscess formation of #Staphylococcus aureus. These translational findings have the potential to improve studies of #temporal and #spatial components of abscess architecture!

PcdA promotes orthogonal division plane selection in Staphylococcus aureus - Nature Microbiology PcdA interacts with DivIVA and FtsZ, promoting Z-ring formation and division plane selection in Staphylococcus aureus, which increases virulence in mice and reduces sensitivity to cell-wall-targeting ...

@felixrl.bsky.social reported that PcdA mediates orthogonal cell division in #Staphylococcus aureus: www.nature.com/articles/s41....

But what’s the point? Well, forming staphylococcal abscess communities to evade host immune responses requires this mode of division:
