- Reposted by Lisa Maier Lab | TübingenReally cool story from @lisamaierlab.bsky.social! We are happy that @luuuprz.bsky.social (PhD student in our lab) contributed a small part.
- New paper from the lab! Led by Patrick Müller: we show that non-antibiotic compounds — but not macrolide antibiotics — can induce an efflux pump that protects Bacteroidaceae from macrolides. A neat twist on drug–microbe interactions... www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

- It’s not only medications—environmental chemicals can also inadvertently harm our gut microbes. Excited to have contributed a bit to this important study!
- Our paper mapping the effects of hundreds of pesticides and industrial chemicals on gut bacteria is out in @natmicrobiol.nature.com today! Turns out many such chemicals, although labelled as 'fungicides' or similar, can inadvertently inhibit friendly gut bacteria. www.nature.com/articles/s41...
- Reposted by Lisa Maier Lab | TübingenProud to be part of this incredible multidisciplinary team uncovering why some people are NOT infected by Salmonella. This new Wellcome Trust @wellcometrust.bsky.social funding will allow us to uncover why some people naturally resist infection and colonisation by Salmonella Typhimurium.

- Thanks so much for the great discussions and warm welcome! I had a wonderful time and was really impressed by the inspiring scientists, diverse projects, and fascinating techniques at the @cemess.bsky.social.
Many thanks to @lisamaierlab.bsky.social from the @cmfi.bsky.social at the University of Tübingen for an inspiring and thought-provoking seminar on Drug-Microbiome Interactions at our @cemess.bsky.social seminar series @univie.ac.at .
- Research prizes for our lab: Anne has been awarded the DZIF Doctoral Award of the DGHM, and Lisa has received the DGHM Main Award. A wonderful recognition of the creativity, curiosity, and persistence of the entire team! www.dghm.org/dghm-preisve...
- Reposted by Lisa Maier Lab | Tübingen🏆 Fighting the Gender Award Gap: Microbiologist Prof Dr Lisa Maier from @unituebingen.bsky.social received the main award of the German Association for #Microbiology and Hygiene at the #DGHM meeting in Jena. Congratulations to @lisamaierlab.bsky.social we are proud of you! 💜 📸 Gabriele Pradel
- Reposted by Lisa Maier Lab | TübingenUnexpected side-effect: how common medications clear the way for pathogens CMFI's @lisamaierlab.bsky.social @unituebingen.bsky.social show in @nature.com: many non-antibiotics weaken the natural protective function of the intestine. Press release: www.cmfi.uni-tuebingen.de/en/news-even...
- The paper is definitely worth a read—and if you're curious for a glimpse behind the scenes of how the story developed, don’t miss this short blog post by Anne and Jacobo. communities.springernature.com/posts/silent...

- Reposted by Lisa Maier Lab | TübingenAnother fantastic study from @lisamaierlab.bsky.social showing how non-antibiotics impact gut ecosytem. Congratulations @ghammeranne.bsky.social et al.!

- Reposted by Lisa Maier Lab | TübingenIt's finally out!🎉 We known that the #microbiome confers colonization resistance against #pathogens, we know that some meds 💊 affect gut microbes 🦠 So, do 💊 alter colonization resistance? It turns out that some do! If you wanna know more, check out our latest work www.nature.com/articles/s41...
- Finally online! Our latest research is out @nature.com: We show that non-antibiotic drugs can disrupt colonization resistance, raising the risk of enteric infections. rdcu.be/ewwrG
- A tremendous team effort that spanned several years, led by two outstanding scientists in our lab: Anne Grießhammer (@ghammeranne.bsky.social) and Jacobo de la Cuesta-Zuluaga (@jdlcz.bsky.social). Huge thanks to everyone who contributed, to @cmfi.bsky.social, & to our superb collaboration partners.

- Gut bacteria to the rescue! 🦠✨ They can shield us from harmful chemicals—and the latest study from Kiran Patil's lab (@kiranrpatil.bsky.social) uncovers how. We’re proud to have contributed to this exciting work! #Microbiome #Detox www.nature.com/articles/s41...
- Reposted by Lisa Maier Lab | TübingenLatest study from the lab is online today (and another will be out tomorrow, stay tuned:)). We profiled effect of >1700 chemicals (drugs, pesticides,...) on secretion of amines (involved in gut-brain and gut-immune axis. ) by human gut bacteria. Brilliant work by @skamrad.bsky.social and Tara Davis
- Stephan Kamrad and Tara Davis in the Patil lab at the MRC Toxicology Unit have identified that some drugs and environmental contaminants alter gut bacterial amine metabolism. Find out more here: buff.ly/5akzsgs @kiranrpatil.bsky.social @skamrad.bsky.social
- Reposted by Lisa Maier Lab | TübingenResearchers in the Patil Lab have discovered that certain species of gut bacteria can absorb PFAS. Boosting these species in our gut microbiome could be a new way to protect us from the harmful effects of PFAS. Read more here: buff.ly/4FsVFsS @kiranrpatil.bsky.social @indraroux.bsky.social
- Big thanks to scientific writer Libera Lo Presti for this great little piece on our recent work exploring how proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) and pH affect human gut microbes. Check it out here: go.nature.com/4lf6jNk
- Ever wondered why proton pump inhibitors raise the risk of C. diff infections? Is it due to pH shifts or direct antibacterial effects on the gut microbiome? We think it’s the pH. 🧪💡 Dive into Julia & Patrick’s new paper for the full story! 📖👇 #Microbiome #PPI doi.org/10.1080/1949...
- What timing! 🎉 Lab member Julia’s first first-author paper got accepted just 8 minutes before her PhD defense started! Huge congrats on a successful PhD and an impressive defense! 🥳📚 #AcademicLife #PhDDefense #TimingIsEverything
- Here are our ideas on developing tools and technologies for anaerobic bacteria! We hope you enjoy the read as much as we enjoyed brainstorming on the topic...
- Here we share thoughts on next-gen cultivation: rdcu.be/ejPSb. Hope it helps 😄 Was fun to write with great colleagues @lisamaierlab.bsky.social @jselkrig.bsky.social @baerboletta.bsky.social @typaslab.bsky.social @mmmicrobiomelab.bsky.social @leibniz-dsmz.bsky.social @westermannlab.bsky.social
- 🎓 Big milestone for our lab — our very first PhD is finished! Huge congratulations to @ghammeranne.bsky.social for an incredibly impressive piece of work. We are so proud of you and can’t wait to see what you’ll do next. 💫 #PhD #proudPI
