Excited for today's symposium "A Dutch Perspective on Mycobacterial Infections" at the Faculty of Science of Leiden University. I am am looking forward to learning a lot about tuberculosis research in the talks and poster session.

Zum 5. Mal fand am Freitag das DANish-GERman (DanGeRoUS) #Mycobacteria Club Treffen am FZB statt. Bei dem Treffen, an dem Expertinnen & Experten aus aus Dänemark, Schweden, Rumänien, Moldau, Korea & Deutschland teilnahmen, wurden klinische Fälle von #NTM und #TB-Erkrankungen präsentiert & diskutiert.
Vielen Dank an alle Teilnehmenden für dieses großartige Meeting!

#Fungi & #mycobacteria are both found in sphagnum peat bogs. This study screens bog fungi for inducible #antitubercular activity, identifying 3 distinct natural products that induce a thiol stress response in Mycobacterium #tuberculosis #PLOSBiology https://plos.io/3P3zEMJ

#Harmonine is a defense compound produced by the #Asian #ladybeetle #Harmoniaaxyridis
It is an important factor in beetle #immunity and has #BroadSpectrum #antimicrobial #activity #inhibiting the growth of #mycobacteria and demonstrating #multistage #antimalarial activity
The Asian lady beetle uses harmonine as a general hygiene measure, but switches to an effective defense strategy based on dozens of peptides when threatened

Can clofazimine replace rifampicin in Mycobacterium avium complex lung disease treatment? The brilliant Sandra Salillas has modified the hollow fiber model so we can find out! Exciting! #pharmacokinetics #pharmacodynamics #mycobacteria #tuberculosis #NTM #ntmlungdisease @radboudumc

Whole genome sequencing for routine identification of nontuberculous #mycobacteria #ntm. Next step: predicting resistance and virulence. Great work by Jodie Schildkraut and Jordy Coolen, out now!

We have published (tentative) ECOFFs for Mycobacterium avium complex and M. abscessus, with the #EUCAST #mycobacteria team. Important first step towards new breakpoints and susceptibility testing methods.

Happy to see all the hard work by Trillion Surya Lioe on characterization of MtDPP, a #prolyl #dipeptidyl #peptidase of #Mycobacterium #tuberculosis, rewarded by this publication in Biological Chemistry. Https://www.degruyter.com/document/doi/10.1515/hsz-2022-0265/html

I'm delighted to share the news of this #publication in which we show that #vaccination against #paratuberculosis significantly increased cell mediated #immune response #geneexpression in the ileum, and expression of the gene IP10 ( CXCL10) differentiates vaccinated infected, vaccinated uninfected and non-vaccinated infected #sheep.

Did you know that #Mycobacteria vaccae sounds like a slightly damaged robot with a strongly damaged German accent?🤣

"We pretty being-beings" + "you can call us #Professor. That's more human-like for you. We are the beneficial being-beings living in the #soil." And curious: "We-I asks you about the human tradition in this Petri dish called France. Why do you use #dirt in your #bread?"

Did I already say that I do love #podcasting?🥰 I search now for a sound for my micro-macro amplifier ... 🤭

Hi everyone! I'm new to Mastodon, work as clinical microbiologist at #radboudumc in #nijmegen the Netherlands and am keen to learn and share about #microbiology #mycobacteria but also love everything #punkrock #drums #porsche and #contemporaryart
