Researchers Jess Buddle, Fagan Lab at the University of Sheffield and team have discovered how the hospital superbug C.diff rapidly evolves resistance to the frontline drug used for treatment in the UK. Read Rob's thread to find out more about the study 👇

Nothing says "made it" like sharing a newspaper page in the The Mirror with Taylor Swift 😭🥳🤩

#Cdifficile is mainly treated with #vancomycin, so why is resistance not yet a problem? Jess Buddle @BrockhurstLab Fagan Lab at the University of Sheffield &co identify 2 resistance pathways that evolve rapidly but with fitness costs that could affect transmission #AMR #PLOSBiology plos.io/3YNHS1m

The second chapter of my PhD is out! We are bringing new elements for the potential use oof auranofin as a Clostridioides difficile treatment nature.com/articles/s4152…

Happy to say I passed my PhD viva yesterday! Im so grateful for the most amazing 4 years. Special thanks to Fagan Lab at the University of Sheffield and Mike Brockhurst, the lab, and everyone who made the last 4 years so fantastic. Thanks also to my examiners Wiep Klaas Smits and Rebecca Corrigan for a great viva! #PhDone

We have 2 fully funded PhD studentships available through the new Yorkshire Biosciences DTP (starting Oct 25) - please share! Both projects are focussed on #phage that infect #Cdifficile
