#ICYMI New research from the IOI & @SpillerLab found colistin-resistant bacteria in mothers and newborn babies in several hospitals in Nigeria from 2015-2017, despite limited clinical use of colistin at that time. 📽️Watch the video and find out more👉 ineosoxford.ox.ac.uk/news/reservoir…

We often hear people think that #groupBstrep is only an issue while in labor. But that is not the case. GBS can cause issues with people no longer pregnant or people who have never been pregnant.

Kudos to everyone involved StrepLabBR GlobalGBSseq Gates Foundation Stephen Bentley, especially Laura @andrade_laaura for her dedicated efforts on this manuscript!

Learning your baby's movements is a great way to connect with and learn about your baby's routine. Noting variations can provide insight into other issues like prenatal infections! #GroupBStrep

Last few days to apply for a fully funded PhD in my lab working with a clinical collaborator on the clinical significance of antibiotic tolerance in Gram-negatives 🦠🧫🩺Open to home students, closing date is next Tuesday. Please RT and spread the word! findaphd.com/phds/project/e…

Grateful to #groupBstrep researchers @andrade_laaura @chcrestani Uzma Basit Khan Stephen Bentley StrepLabBR Ruth Zadoks and the other co-authors for this study!

Although maternal colonization rates may vary by region, #groupBstrep is one of the most notable infectious causes of newborn illness and death worldwide. Visit gbs-info.org to learn how to help protect your baby!

May is a month for mothers! We want to recognize all mothers, but especially #groupBstrep moms. We thank you for your dedication to the cause of GBS awareness and prevention!

What is a parent called who loses a child? Many parents struggle with this new identity, one that for a long time did not have a name. One mother decided to give "a 'name', for the complete unthinkable" #Vilomah #groupBstrep

We invite you to join our next online webinar: Prof. Zamin Iqbal Zamin Iqbal will present about "Challenges and steps forward for bioinformatics approaches to plasmid epidemiology" When: 23.05.2024, 1pm Open and free registration through link: escmid-org.zoom.us/webinar/regist… ESCMID

The first talk of the #internationalfellows retreat Wellcome Sanger Institute is being given by Claire Chewapreecha, who is telling us about her efforts in Thailand 🇹🇭 to study #melioidosis, a neglected and underreported tropical disease

We are conducting a survey of mothers worldwide, with and without a baby infected by #groupBstrep (GBS), to help identify gaps in care and communication regarding GBS disease in babies. Visit gbs-intl.org/waves for more info and to participate!

I am still looking for a candidate for this fellowship, if you are looking for a postdoc, are interested in dryland ecology and want to work in a supportive environment and in a top university with great facilities and living environment apply! + info: maestrelab.blogspot.com/2024/05/we-are…

Today we want to recognize all the nurses that have made such an impact in the lives of #groupBstrep families! #NationalNursesDay

I'm recruiting for a new post-doc role based in Melbourne and contributing to #klebNET-GSP activities on #klebsiella genomic surveillance. Sylvain Brisse @DrKatHolt Centre for Genomic Pathogen Surveillance @chcrestani Tom Stanton Sophia David Theycallmemaggie Check out the details ⬇️

Anyone can carry #groupBstrep and it is naturally occurring in both men and women. About 1 in 4 pregnant women "carry" or are "colonized" with GBS. Carrying GBS or testing GBS+ does not mean you are infected, but it can potentially cause an infection in your baby.

Check it out, our latest publication on the molecular epidemiology of #GBS lineages in dairy cattle in Brazil! Thanks to the GlobalGBSseq for supporting our research!

We are excited to share our new research published. We investigated high-level gentamicin resistance in hypervirulent GBS Serotype IV ST1010 (CC452) strains due to a novel integrative and conjugative element. Discover more: [mdpi.com/2079-6382/13/6…] GlobalGBSseq Group B Strep Support

Thrilled to announce our manuscript has been published! 🎉 Our study highlight the importance of comparing GBS isolates from healthy individuals and patients to identify high-risk genotypes for disease prevention and surveillance. Read more at doi.org/10.3389/fmicb.… GlobalGBSseq
