hey Klebsiella Club ! Unboxing of the Klebsiella Diversity Panel! 100 strains characterized & sequenced,freely available #KlebClub -thanks to Francois Lebreton & colleagues for putting this together The more we are to use this, the more useful it becomes! doi.org/10.1099/mgen.0…

Thrilled! The #Klebsiella Diversity Panel ordered last weeek is already paying off .. the shipping costs! We mined the genomes searching for a specific mutation which results in an interesting colony morphotype -similar to👇🏼👇🏼 from @schauflerlab 1/2 mdpi.com/2076-2607/10/1…

SIX extensively drug resistant isolates recovered from an injured Ukrainian soldier including ST-395 K. pneumoniae that was non-susceptible to all antibiotics tested. Long read sequencing underway!! Francois Lebreton Brendan Jones Ting Luo Patrick McGann wwwnc.cdc.gov/eid/article/29…

Our latest paper is out in preprint! biorxiv.org/content/10.110… With routine WGS we detected an outbreak of MDR Pseudomonas with cases spanning > 10 years! Turns out contaminated sinks in ICU rooms were part of the problem. Cases are slowing down now.

Fully funded PhD opportunity in my team; part of London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine, 長崎大学 Nagasaki University collaboration with Dr Daniel Inaoka and Prof. Toshio Kodama at Nagasaki Uni (tinyurl.com/yceavn38) dissecting the functions of the Campylobacter jejuni Type VI Secretion System (T6SS) effectors 🦠☕️🥼🧫👩🏾‍🔬🧑‍🔬

I am very excited to share my newest article on virulence of #Klebsiella pneumoniae clinical isolates published today in Nature Communications. A big thank you to all of my co authors for their hard work! Including 5 grad students and 4 undergrads. #Microbiology nature.com/articles/s4146…

This is great paper and but I got to admit (though I am biased of course) not a single mention of the work done by DoD within the National Action Plan CARB program is a bit disappointing…

Fantastic course, networking opportunity, and location! Highly recommend !!

Looking forward to this one!!

New review article WHO global research priorities for antimicrobial resistance in human health thelancet.com/journals/lanmi… #AMR #OpenAccess #OA

Our new paper with Tom Russo’s lab is out in eBioMedicine – The Lancet Discovery Science We took out individual genes, combinations, or the whole virulence plasmid to measure their relative contribution in K. pneumoniae hypervirulence #hvkp Klebsiella Club sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

We are hiring two Assistant Professors!! Great place to work and live!

Training workshop for our collaborators @NMRL Zimbabwe funded by Gates Foundation to investigate the association of #typhoid with protists in wastewater but will have a positive impact for surveillance including #AMR Thanks to Tapfumanei Mashe, Dave Baker, Michaela and Petros

Really excited to meet the #Klebsiella community in person! Thanks Sylvain Brisse & co for making this happen!

Can’t wait!

Starting day 3 of #KLEBS2024 with a session on Genomics and Evolution with excellent presentations given by David Aanensen , Olaya Rendueles , melissa j martin , Ben Vezina , Anna Weber

Thank you, Dr. Lee. It was great to share our work with the kleb community!
