The fruit of our collaboration with German and African colleagues has been published in Lancet ID, calling into question the role of rapid molecular tests such as Xpert MTB/RIF in regions where the prevalence of "escaping diagnosis" strains is high.

This is my first month as a Leibniz chair holder at the Forschungszentrum Borstel and Leibniz Lungenzentrum in Germany. This honorary chair crowns, above all, a collective success, a science endavour and elective affinities. Special thanks to Ulrich Schaible and Stefan Niemann.

Our latest paper on emerging multi-drug resistant tuberculosis is out. Our results provide new insights into bacterial and host-related factors involved in the propagation at continental scale of the Russian clone over the last five decades.

@fjephe Bonjour François, Je suis médusé et je n’arrive pas à croire ton message. Joël était le meilleur d’entre nous et il avait une telle délicatesse et finesse, son humour va me manquer. Pourrais tu me préciser les conditions de son décès? Est-ce un accident? Amitiés. Thierry

I am glad to have contributed to this work with my colleagues from the Institut Pasteur (Lecuit Lab @BIUPasteur) where we reveal the key role of the industrial revolution, transatlantic livestock trades and food industry in the propagation of a pathogen.
