Up next at #Antimicrobials2026
Symposium 1–Staphylococcus aureus.

From SNAP updates to the ongoing challenges of MRSA and invasive disease, this session will tackle one of the most persistent and complex pathogens in clinical practice.

The C‐terminal extension of calprotectin mediates zinc chelation and modulates Staphylococcus aureus biomass accumulation Calprotectin (CP) is an S100A8/S100A9 heterodimer that plays an important role in nutritional immunity at the host–microbe interface. CP combats Staphylococcus aureus growth by sequestration of zinc ...

My mentors @vubasicsciences.bsky.social encouraged the #CollaborativeScience behind this work from the Chazin and Skaar labs, with co-author Randy Perera. Excited to have published this work @proteinsociety.bsky.social studying #Calprotectin and #StaphAureus onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

How Staphylococcus aureus Exploits a Host Metabolite to Cause Pneumonia Staphylococcus aureus is a formidable foe in healthcare settings, a leading cause of pneumonia that contributes significantly to illness and death worldwide. This ubiquitous bacterium, a common coloni...

How does S. aureus turn a toxic metabolite into a survival tool? Rutgers-led research shows its enzyme FumC converts fumarate into fuel for growth, biofilm, & virulence—opening doors for new anti-pneumonia drugs. go.njmicrobe.org/8MQv9B #Microbiology #Pathogenesis #StaphAureus #AntimicrobialTargets

Yay!!! #TeamKhanna superstar Mimi Kostoska presenting her work on splenic CD169+ macrophages #aai2025 @khannakm.bsky.social #Khannalab #RTM #staphaureus

Thanks for the picture, @yeungadventures.bsky.social

Beautiful talk on #cd169 #macrophages in response to #staphaureus by PhD student Mimi Kostoska from Khanna Lab @nyulangone.bsky.social so excited to see this work come progressing! @aai.org #immunology2025 #aai2025

Diabetes fuels antibiotic resistance, worsening infections and treatment challenges A new study reveals that diabetes significantly accelerates the emergence and spread of antibiotic-resistant Staphylococcus aureus infections, highlighting a major public health concern.

Palmitoleic acid sensitizes vancomycin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus to vancomycin by outpacing the expression of resistance genes | Microbiology Spectrum The development of antibiotics has transformed medicine, reducing the incidence and severity of bacterial infections and allowing for advancements in healthcare, including invasive surgeries and organ...

Great work from Zajeba Tabashsum, a very talented postdoc in my lab. Her paper describes how a host produced unsaturated fatty acid (palmitoleic acid) overcomes vancomycin resistance in VRSA strains. #AMR #Staphaureus

In 630 patients w/ cardiac implantable e-device (CIED) & #bacteraemia, E. coli most common (26%) but caused 0 #CIED infections; S. aureus less common (21%) but caused 63% of CIED infections

We made last month our max at #PHAGEinLYON_Clinic to speed the access and to treat with personalized #phagetherapy three patients with severe infection due to #Staphaureus or multidrug resistant #Pseudomonas aeruginosa of different cardiac assistance devices (#LVAD): #Jarvik2000…

Un 25e patient est actuellement traité par #phagothérapie @CHUdeLyon en sauvetage d’une #endocardite infectieuse sur prothèse à #staphaureus. Des injections intraveineuses directes sont réalisables et semblent sûres, car un cocktail hautement purifié de #phages peut être utilisé!

My pleasure to talk today at 6pm CET in Barcelona @hospitalclinic about #phagetherapy for #staphaureus infections with my friend Dr. A. Soriano. #bacteriophages are so promising for #prostheticjointinfections, but also for #bacteremia and #endocarditis! ➡️

As published by our group @BSACandJAC, #rifabutin, a #rifamycin available as #rifampin, has a great potential to be used in #bji and #prostheticjointinfection #pji as it is active at low dose against #staphaureus #persisters! 🔥
