Two weeks left for the abstract submission deadline (Nov 12th) to Microbiology Society Annual Conference 2025 in Liverpool. Hoping to get lots of submissions for the Urogenital Microbes session. Fantastic line up of invited speakers already. Please share. microbiologysociety.org/event/annual-c…

It’s now live! Built on the wonderful AllTheBacteria database by Wei Shen 沈 伟, John Lees, Zamin Iqbal & co!

Congratulations to our Uganda partnership lead, Dr. David Musoke, on his recent induction as a Fellow of the Uganda National Academy of Sciences (UNAS). This prestigious and well-deserved recognition was awarded on November 1, 2024. We are proud to work with you David Musoke

Excited to share BakRep - our latest work published in Microbiology Society #MGen >661,000 bacterial genomes, uniformly characterized & annotated, enriched with metadata, accessible via a flexible search engine doi.org/10.1099/mgen.0… 👇 1/7

New preprint out from Sam Dawson (PhD), Sara G ✌🏽 (MRes), Dr Fiona Newberry (post-doc), David Negus and Lesley Hoyles. COVID lockdown meant Sam needed to change the focus of his PhD for a while. This is the result. Isolated phages and MAGs --> 2x number of known weberviruses.

I have a funded PhD opportunity through MIBTP to look at pneumococci in adults with Mike Cox (also check out two other projects with Mike and Prof. Joan Geoghegan on other respiratory pathobionts) link here: warwick.ac.uk/fac/cross_fac/… Happy to be contacted with questions

I have three PhD studentships available currently through the MIBTP DTP warwick.ac.uk/fac/cross_fa... on different aspects of the respiratory microbiome, interaction with mucin with Lucy Crouch-Myers the resistome with Michelle Buckner and pathobionts with David W. Cleary

PhD available. The project is VERY interdisciplinary, combing social science, biophysics and microbiology to understand inequalities of UTIs treatment + replicate them in vitro to help choose the correct antibiotic. Pls share, home students only #AMR tinyurl.com/45d8h54u

It's never too late to celebrate😃! Glad to share that I won the Second Best Poster Prize at the East Midlands AMR Network Research Conference! Grateful to my supervisory team Conor Meehan Maria Rosa Domingo Sananes Daniel Whiley for their invaluable support! 💫

I wrote an article for The Conversation on whether birdflu is likely to be the next biggest problem in infectious diseases. theconversation.com/which-infectio…

How should editors and reviewers deal with proposals to reclassify medically relevant bacteria? The guidelines of the Ad Hoc Committee on Mitigating Changes in Prokaryotic Nomenclature (doi.org/10.5281/zenodo…) now provide an answer.
