Profiling of pneumococcal population structure during infection reveals an unappreciated role of bacteriocins in driving the development of pneumonia by facilitating the release of inflammatory mediators

Excited to share our latest work studying pneumococcal pneumonia. We found that pneumococcal population structures undergo massive changes within the lung. This bacteriocin-mediated turnover of the population "promotes" pneumococcal pneumonia

🚨Excited to share our new study below!🚨
1/7: Childhood mortality from bacterial respiratory & enteric pathogens remains a global concern. But what compromises infants' ability to fight infections? Our study delves into the immune deficiencies intrinsic to early age.
Why are infants susceptible to invasive pneumococcal diseases? Excited to share our latest work led by @LokkenToyli which explores this question and elucidates the age-dependent mechanisms that drive pneumococcal spread from the mucosa. @PLOSPathogens

I’m biased, but this is such a cool paper and very happy that it’s now published @NatureComms 😀Congratulations to Anne-Stéphanie @vrrenske @suryad26 @WeiserLabNYU @LalouxLab @santosmoreno_j @YSchaerli! nature.com/articles/s41467-0…
Is phenotypic variation functional? Stoked about our latest preprint spearheaded by the amazing Anne-Stephanie @DMF_UNIL @unil in collaboration with a fantastic team of people @vrrenske @suryad26 @santosmoreno_j @LalouxLab @YSchaerli @WeiserLabNYU biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

A selfish bacteriocin dictates pneumococcal domination:Trappetti/Paton discuss @suryad26 @WeiserLabNYU work on population dynamics of S.pneumoniae colonization. Bacteriocin promotes survival of lineages, providing population bottleneck & limiting diversity cell.com/cell-host-microbe/f…
Weiser Lab @ NYU Langone Health retweeted
A selfish program reduces S. pneumoniae diversity. Intra-strain competition upon #Spneumoniae colonization causes loss of clonal diversity. Bacteriocins induced by BlpC led to predation of kin & tightening of population bottlenecks @suryad26 @WeiserLabNYU cell.com/cell-host-microbe/f…
Weiser Lab @ NYU Langone Health retweeted
Pleased to share some of our latest work available online now in @cellhostmicrobe. In this work, we discovered that quorum sensing induced bacteriocins mediate intra-strain competition in pneumococcus during colonization and transmission.

Calling all Upper Respiratory Tract (URT) investigators! My colleague @suryad26 and I are putting together a @JoVEJournal special collection dedicated to studying host-pathogen interactions at an understudied mucosal site, the URT. Please consider submitting an abstract! Pls RT!!
We are helping put together a @JoVEJournal special collection on Host-Pathogen Interactions in the Upper Respiratory Tract. Please consider submitting methods for this collection. @LokkenToyli or I will be happy to answer any questions. Also see: jove.com/methods-collections…

Excited to see our article highlighted in the Editor’s Choice 2021 issue! Way to go @WeiserLabNYU and @DebbyBogaert ! #earlylifeimmunity
Early life is a risky time for infectious diseases. Here, we highlight research on how alveolar macrophages, intestinal CD8s, and intestinal epithelial derived anti-microbial molecules may be impaired in neonates and contribute to disease: nature.com/collections/fhfcj… #EditorsChoice
