Delighted to see our work on evolutionary routes towards increased survival in the face of different antibiotic regimes published in #ISMEJournal

Answers, or at least replies, to less frequently asked questions about highly pathogenic avian influenza H5N1 in dairy cows; posed by Helen Branswell 🇨🇦 and Megan Molteni in STAT. #vogelgriep

Bacterial interactions being recognised as a key driver for pathogenicity and AMR in urinary tract infections. Important for older people when polymicrobial UTI more likely.

Interestingly Enterococcus seems to have a key role to play.

Last but not least, Rikke Louise Meyer from Denmark 🇩🇰 presents the potential of nano- approaches to target biofilm infections. ESGB ESCMID RikkeMeyer

We are now online with Bob Hancock from Canada 🇨🇦 presenting work on antibiofilm peptides - there is hope?! ESGB ESCMID

Second on the stage is John McKinney who is here to tell us about microengineered models to study UTI biofilms ESGB ESCMID

First up - Thomas Bjarnsholt providing proactive view of how people are not Petri plates. Maybe this is why antibiotics fail in treatment ESGB Thomas Bjarnsholt

There is a biofilm session starting shortly in hall E for anyone interested - it could be exciting! ESGB ESCMID

And today at 16.15, Hall E.

maar verder is het congres waar onder andere een van de partijen aan de formatie tafel zit gewoon constructief.....

Expeditions can be hard to maneuver as a mother & scientist.

Intense & exciting to have my essay published in The New York Times exploring how Expeditions can be an Academic Act of Defiance

Wilders is eregast op een fascistisch congres. Zijn ideoloog, ook voorzitter van de Tweede Kamer, is actief aanwezig op de Nationale Dodenherdenking. Niet normaal maken wat niet normaal is.

10/42 In the first 50 days, tetraploidy arose from diploid ancestors and swept to fixation in 10/10 mixotrophic (PM) and anaerobic (PA) populations, and tetraploidy was then maintained over the rest of our experiment.

Beyond excited to share this preprint of my work looking at how P. aeruginosa’s surface motility influences S. aureus spatial organization, physiology, and survival.

Freshly out in ISME Communications from the EMBARK (now SEARCHER) project:

'Aberrant microbiomes are associated with increased antibiotic resistance gene load in hybrid mice'

led by Víctor Hugo Jarquín-Díaz (incl. Johan BengtssonPalme)
