Posted on Updated on

Our paper in j. Bact is online (not proof edited):

PmrC/EptA and CptA negatively affect outer membrane vesicle production in Citrobacter rodentium.

I am thankful for this nice last collaboration with a talented researcher Hervé le Moual, and congratulation to the amazing student Anshul Sinha (and Sammy Nyongesa)!!!!

New article describing the only lytic phages known to infect the spirochete Leptospira

Posted on Updated on

With our colleagues of the Institut Pasteur Paris we sequenced and analysed the first genomes of the lytic phages LE3 and LE4 that can infect the saprophyte Leptospira biflexa using the lipopolysaccharide O-antigen as receptor. Bioinformatics analysis showed that the 48-kb LE3 and LE4 genomes are similar and contain 62% genes whose function cannot be predicted.
