Happy Pride 🏳️‍🌈🥳🥰 IMIBirmingham #birminghampride

Celebrating 10,000 followers! 🎉 Thank you to everyone who enjoys looking at contaminants as much as we do - keep sharing your contams! 🦠🧫🍄🎊

Very excited to be attending CoCoMad '23 Cotteridge Park this Saturday representing IMIBirmingham 🧫Come and say hi to our team Rob Moran Dr Lilly Cummins Freya Allen Dr Ross McInnes Izzie Potterill

Come find us in the science field! #CoCoMAD

Ready for an afternoon of science at #CoCoMAD IMIBirmingham MicroMad

We're about to start sharing photos of everyone's plates from #CoCoMAD ! 🧫🧫 Our plate photo studio is set up here at IMIBirmingham , and we'll be posting throughout today - keep an eye out for your number!

Excited for this year’s National AMR training at University of Bristol! Come say hi at poster 73 #AMRtraining National PhD Training Programme in AMR

New pre-print! Thanks to all co-authors for their help in getting this over the line @alanmcn1

Excited to be in Cork for #MENI2023

Had a great day at #MENI2023 really enjoyed hearing and chatting about microbial evolution!

🔔New Pre-print🔔 TL;DR: The opportunistic pathogen A. lwoffii is more constrained in acquiring & developing antibiotic resistance 🦠 Jessica Blair Rob Moran Freya Harrison @babs_clough Dr Ross McInnes Dr Eva Frickel Mark Webber biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Very happy have this out! I’ve been working on a couple of projects since joining @alanmcn1 and this is one of them - looking at the transcriptional response to multidrug resistance plasmids in E. coli. Thanks Ann Snaith for the help on this too! journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/ms…

A beautiful journey up to Edinburgh for #Microbio24 🌈 Come chat to me at poster B337 on Wednesday to hear about copper hypertolerance in S. aureus!

I’m talking about metabolism and MDR at 14:45 today, come along if you’re at a loose end! #microbio24

I’ll be presenting my poster today on in vitro evolution of Enterococcus at #Microbio24 come along to poster B055 if you want to find out more!

A great week at #Microbio24 so far, excited to present the start of my PhD work on conservation and variation in E. coli core genes at poster B052

Pleased to be presenting this afternoon in the Genetics and Genomics forum at 4pm, come along to hear about genomic relics as an alternative approach to combat MDR E. coli #Microbio24

A new publication from my PDRA with @alanmcn1. Working with our UK-India collaborators, we screened the ability of non-antibiotic pharmaceuticals to cause genetic changes and cross-resistance to antibiotics (spoiler, not so much). nature.com/articles/s4425…

Back in Birmingham after a great month away at the University of Bonn in the Bierbaum group learning about protein purification and activity testing of WalK. Really grateful to the Bierbaum group for all their help and the Turing Scheme UK for funding this visit!

Out latest preprint describes a plasmid lineage we've been tracking in Birmingham's QE Hospital - short 🧵👇 biorxiv.org/content/10.110… @alanmcn1
