Check out this paper by Paula Diaz, me and others including @Baker_Lab_Cam, Josefina Campos, Enrique Perez G., Megan Carey, @DuyPham_Oucru. We sequenced a diverse selection of Colombian S. Typhi isolates collected in the last 20 years to determine the main circulating genotypes.

"Even though drug-resistant typhoid has not yet taken hold in Latin America, we know the threat exists. TCVs are a sure way to help prevent its emergence now." Paula Diaz #TakeOnTyphoid #VaccinesWork #StopSuperbugs coalitionagainsttyphoid.org/has-drug-resis…

News report from BBC East on our #HEPA filter project- @Baker_Lab_Cam talks us through the innovative PCR techniques that underpinned the project. Paper here 👇academic.oup.com/cid/advance-ar…

While #Colombia experiences a substantial typhoid burden, drug resistance appears to be significantly lower than that observed in South Asia or Africa. Learn more about Paula Diaz work on Take on Typhoid blog ⬇️ #Typhoid2021 #TakeOnTyphoid

Many thanks Michael Sikorski for bring this through. Tells us a lot about how typhoid arrived in Samoa, how it persisted and how to eliminate it.

Fascinating to see that typhoid in 1980s Chile still persists as a public health problem, likely through carriers. The power of asymptomatic carriage in persistence. Thanks to mailis maes and all coauthors. Could be my final last author research paper! journals.plos.org/plosntds/artic…

This work was a great collaboration with first author mailis maes clinical lead Jordan P. Skittrall & the Cambridge public health lab, the Nanopore experts at Birmingham (Nick Loman Sam Wilkinson) & Anna (Ganna) Kovalenko from Goodfellow lab.

A widely-used drug that's cheap to make, easy to store and has minimal side effects could be a powerful weapon in the fight against #COVID19. But how did Cambridge scientists identify this drug? Find out 👇 Fotios Sampaziotis Teresa Brevini Cambridge University Hospitals NHS bit.ly/3uh8Huc

Researchers at Cambridge University and Cambridge University Hospitals NHS have found that a common drug used to treat liver disease could prevent Covid infection. 📺 Watch BBC Look East tonight at 6:30pm 📖 Read on our website here: orlo.uk/DwZBd

Fortunate to have one of my last research papers published in Nature. A collaboration with Fotios Sampaziotis Teresa Brevini and part driven by my PhD student mailis maes who set up our CL3 for Covid and performed organoid infections. ludovic vallier nature.com/articles/s4158…
