We designed a continuous-flow culture system in which biofilm formation can be reproducibly monitored and controlled in microfermentors handled at flow-rates avoiding accumulation of planktonic bacteria. This model is suited for biofilm macroscopic analysis, […]

We have recently developed tools to visualize the results of CRISPR screens and design novel guide RNA for use in bacteria. These tools are available at crispr.pasteur.fr .

We originally developed genetic tools to study adhesion and biofilm formation in commensal and pathogenic E. coli species. These tools are made freely available to the scientific community upon request. • pKOBEG Lambda Red […]

We developed a clinically relevant in vivo model of catheter-associated biofilm infections to design new and efficient biofilm-eradication approaches applicable to contaminated totally implantable venous access port (TIVAP) catheters.      Key publications •  Chauhan, A., J.M. […]

We are currently developping new optogenetic tools of interest for System Neuroscience.  Optogenetics is the combination of genetics and optics to control well-defined events within specific cells of living tissue. It includes the discovery and insertion into cells […]
