The spectacular structure of the protective armour of superbug #Cdiff revealed for the 1st time by @pssalgado (@MolMecNCL) Bug Slayers in Nature Communications shows the close-knit outer layer, like chain mail, protects the bug & provides a new target for drugs. ncl.ac.uk/press/articles…

Really enjoyed sharing our work in Clostridium sporogenes at #Clostpath2023 this morning! Thanks to Don Whitley Scientific for supporting my attendance at the conference and of course to the lab @PerBullough Fagan Lab at the University of Sheffield Becky Menday Jess Buddle

Did I mention that besides great science #clostpath2023 also features stunning autumn weather? Roman Melnyk held word!

#ClostPath2023 comes to a close. What a fabulous meeting!!!

And so we finish #clostpath2023, and look ahead to #clostpath2025 in #Paris! Local organisers Peltier Johann @MorvanClaire2 and Thomas Candela. Good luck!

Fantastic to see another beautiful S-layer structure! Congratulations to the Han Remaut group nature.com/articles/s4146…
