Bacteria harness the power of communities. Fascinating research by Knut Drescher team Biozentrum, University of Basel reveals that cholera bacteria form an aggressive biofilm – a cunning strategy to kill immune cells.

Important and interesting role: We are looking for a veterinary to run the Biozentrum animal facility! jobs.unibas.ch/offene-stellen…

Dual strategy of hospital germ: Some bacteria colonize surfaces while others spread in the body. Jenal_lab uncovers genetic switch behind this division of labor. An anti-biofilm compound flips the switch, thus dispersing biofilms. Biozentrum, University of Basel University of Basel ow.ly/Sznb50OSsS8

Our work is out PNASNews. We introduce scPAIR-seq: a high-throughput method for paired host profiling with multiplex-tagged bacterial mutants to analyze host-pathogen at single cell resolution. Congratulations to Ori Heyman and Noa Bossel Ben-Moshe pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…
