We developed a genome-wide CRISPRi-library for S. aureus and used it to screen for antibiotic susceptibility determinants by CRISPRi-seq. Great collaboration!

Great to see this published today in Nature Microbiology! Thanks to reviewers, collaborators and everybody involved inside and outside EMBL Link: nature.com/articles/s4156…

Marita Torrissen Mårli has studied competence in Strep dysgalactiae strains from bovines and humans - and found a method to make mutants using natural transformation! Daniel Straume Davide Porcellato NMBU Great collaboration with Oddvar Oppegaard Med_UiB. mSphere journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/ms…

🎉 Excited to share my first first-author paper on genetic modification in Streptococcus dysgalactiae using natural transformation! We developed a protocol for gene deletions in this important pathogen, opening up for future genetic studies. Check out the full paper for details!
