A feature article including new morphological data on MH, a strain of Staphylococcus epidermidis derived from a canine lymphoma by deNovo Biologic, appears in the May 2007 issue of Microbe, the news magazine for the American Society for Microbiology. This work was performed in collaboration with scientists from the University of Southern California, the House Ear Institute (Los Angeles), and the Center for Genomic Sciences (Pittsburgh).
