Dr. Katherine Lemon, Associate Member of the Staff, Department of Microbiology at the Forsyth Institute. “This study is exciting because it is the first time that it’s been demonstrated that there is a role for CIII in bacterial interspecies interactions and it shows that nostril microbiota are influenced by small-molecule-mediated interactions.”
Overview of Study
This study, “Propionibacterium-produced Coproporphyrin III induces Staphylococcus aureus aggregation and biofilm formation,” will be published in mBio on July 22, 2014. It was a collaborative, multidisciplinary effort of two research groups. The work was led by Dr. Katherine P. Lemon, Department of Microbiology, Forsyth, Cambridge, MA and members of her lab, in particular, the lead author Dr. Michael Wollenberg, along with Dr. Isabel Fernandez Escapa and Ms. Kelly Aldridge. The chemistry side was led by Dr. Michael A. Fischbach and, his postdoctoral fellow, Dr. Jan Claesen from the Department of Bioengineering and Therapeutic Sciences and the California Institute for Quantitative Biosciences at the University of California, San Francisco. In addition to overseeing her lab at Forsyth, Dr. Lemon serves on the clinical staff of the Division of Infectious Diseases at Boston Children’s Hospital.
This research was supported in part by NIH through the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research and the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and through a Boston Children’s Hospital Career Development Fellowship, a Fundación Ramón Areces Fellowship, a Medical Research Program Grant from the W.M. Keck Foundation, and a Fellowship for Science and Engineering from the David and Lucile Packard Foundation.
