Enrollment is now open! 🎉

First talk of the second day: Dr Dorota Jamrozy talks about JUNO project #ISSAD2023 #GroupBStrep #GBS

Day 2 of #ISSAD2023 and Dorota Jamrozy is updating us on the GlobalGBSseq project, and the global genomic epidemiology of #groupBStrep. Fascinating.

On behalf of the #JUNO_project, Dr Dorota Jamrozy is presenting the global collaboration on GBS genomics at #ISSAD23 Issad.org Stephen Bentley Wellcome Sanger Institute Wellcome Sanger Parasites & Microbes Programme funded by Gates Foundation

Don't miss Dr. Uzma Basit Khan's poster session on "The distribution of potential vaccine targets in global GBS population" today at ISSAD in Rio from 11.30 to 11.40 a.m, if you want to learn more about the vaccine (under development) coverage in the global GBS population.

ISSAD Day 2: Clayton Jisuvel is giving a talk showing association between vaginal washing and GBS colonisation.

Dr. Uzma Khan gave a fascinating talk describing the genomic mechanisms driving antibiotic resistance in the global GBS population on the first day of ISSAD. Well done! 👏🏻

Excited to share the news that our recently published systematic review, evaluating the molecular epidemiology of the non-pregnant GBS population, is now accessible via this link (microbiologyresearch.org/content/journa…). Thanks to all collaborators for your indispensable contributions.

It’s a great collaboration with Dr. Shaper Mirza, M Imran Nisar and Dr Sadia Shakoor. Huge congratulations to my mentored Nida Javaid. It’s one of the achievements after series of social distanced meetings during the pandemic. Well done!

We are very proud that Stephen Bentley is one of the 2024 Robert Austrian Lecturers for #ISPPD13 isppd.kenes.com/robert-austria…

Exciting news! Our Brazilian JUNO partner StrepLabBR just published groundbreaking research on long-term co-circulation of host-specialist and generalist GBS lineages in dairy cattle, revealing diverse antimicrobial resistance profiles. Read it here: mdpi.com/2079-6382/13/5…
