Absolutely delighted that our review on ‘next-generation microbiology’ is out in Genome Biology!! 🥳🥳 Joint effort with Andrew K Fenton and Sheppard Lab, thank you! The Florey Institute @SheffieldMBB Milner Centre for Evolution @BiosciencesBath genomebiology.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…

Our The Florey Institute scientists together with Milner Centre for Evolution the have published a thoughtful review article asking what is the future for microbiology practice? rdcu.be/cjHWJ #Microbio21 #FridayThought


Review on how high-throughput data can be incorporated into traditional microbiological practice, to take the field into the next generation, from Carolin Kobras 🎓♦️🐍🐍, @AndrewKFenton & Sheppard Lab, They cover GWAS and Tn-seq, and how to validate the results genomebiology.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…


Brilliant talk by Grace Pidwill on her work on the augmentation phenomenon in S. aureus infection! #StaphGBI2021 #Florey2021


Excited to announce the #FentonLab has a PhD position joint with Dr Mack Durham in @PhysicsShef n Molecular Microbiology Sheffield. Studying how genetic information is transferred between bacteria using advanced imaging techniques. More info here: bit.ly/3nCzIEN Please apply n Please RT 🙂

Meet Andrew K Fenton and the #FentonLab. We study Streptococcus pneumoniae and how it causes #pneumonia. We do this by investigating how its cell wall is built, how the host usually kills the bacterium, & how it becomes resistant to antibiotic treatments. nature.com/articles/nmicr…





#FentonLab part 1 at #Europneumo2022: Andrew K Fenton presenting our Tn-seq project focussing on how we can resensitise resistant S. pneumoniae to beta-lactams.




#NextWeek, come and join Andrew K Fenton from Molecular Microbiology Sheffield for a public lecture on infectious diseases in Sheffield. Talk held at the University of Sheffield, Firth Court, Friday 16th at 5 pm. heritageopendays.org.uk/visiting/event…

Huge congratulations to Prof Simon Foster (Foster Lab) for being elected Fellow of the Academy of Medical Sciences Academy of Medical Sciences! Simon is the West Riding Chair in Microbiology The University of Sheffield and an internationally recognised expert on the G+ve cell envelope acmedsci.ac.uk/more/news/outs…


Beautiful new paper from the Andrew K Fenton lab, in collaboration with Rebecca Corrigan (also Molecular Microbiology Sheffield) and Sheppard Lab. Have a read to discover how Strep pneumo can begin to evolve resistance to a family of antibiotics commonly used to treat infection pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…


Cool paper by Andrew K Fenton on ways the pneumococcus can become less susceptible to penicillin pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…
