Head to poster A267 at Microbiology Society #Microbio22 tonight and chat to Rob Moran about the mobile genetic elements we've seen in DETECTIVE projects!

🧵on the latest DETECTIVE manuscript, which might be my favourite so far. It's about a quirky group of plasmids that accumulate and disseminate all sorts of accessory genes in Acinetobacter... 1/20 microbiologyresearch.org/content/journa…

Congratulations to Xiaoting Hua and team 💫 on his study providing insights into the co-evolution of #Acinetobacter baumannii and a clinical imipenem resistance plasmid. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.111… Willem van Schaik @[email protected] Belinda Loh Rob Moran

Our latest manuscript describes the ESBL-resistant E. coli population associated with an ICU's patients, staff and environment. We also examined the diverse mobile elements associated with blaCTX-M genes. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Fancy a Friday plasmid tale to start the year? 🧵👇 A little story from our preprint about a Guangzhou ICU's E. coli. It's about a CTX-M gene's escape from its host chromosome, involving a couple of my favourite MGEs from DETECTIVE projects. [1/7] biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Our latest paper is out now in Microbiology Spectrum! journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/sp…

Rob Moran presenting one of the many brilliant DETECTIVE studies - this time focussing on carbapenem resistant Acinetobacter baumannii. "I like plasmids more than bacteria" definitely sums Rob up!

This study in #MGen from Ann Snaith et al. investigates #AMR in ESBL-producing #Ecoli colonizing travellers to Laos. @alanmcn1. doi.org/10.1099/mgen.0…
