“I am pleased to inform you that the above manuscript has been accepted for publication.” - just what we wanted to see before stating the weekend.

Check out our new paper in The Lancet Microbe. The party has started, but someone forgot to invite M. pneumoniae!! A great collaborative effort with @PMeyerSauteur, ESGMAC and the rest of the team.

Huge thanks to @SfAMtweets for supporting our equipment fund application to buy a Qubit 4 Fluorometer ready for when Georgia starts her MRes this coming academic year.

New paper from the lab - These Mycoplasma amphoriforme are some resistant little critters! Phenotypic and genotypic antimicrobial susceptibility patterns of the emerging human respiratory pathogen Mycoplasma amphoriforme isolated from the UK and Denmark academic.oup.com/jac/advance-ar…

ESGMAC invite you to attend the first conference for Early Career Mycoplasma and Chlamydia Researchers – ECMCR 2022, which will place virtually on Tuesday 18th October 2022. Check all details here: ow.ly/f1cp50KJ949

Late breaking abstract submissions are still open. Deadline 22nd September 2022.

It is just one hour to go until we kick-off the first #ECMCR2022 conference!!

A great conference with three posters from the group being presented. Looking forward to the next one!!

Early start with Rebecca Lloyd. Hoping to see some mycoplasma biofilms today with the Cardiff University scanning electron microscope!

Fantastic morning on the SEM Cardiff University in the #TRH. The quality of the images and the support we got were equally exceptional. Also Rebecca Lloyd got to drive the microscope! Great facility Welsh European Funding Office

It's the best we could do.....

Some days you may question your choice of career, other days you may simply question your choice of organisms that you work with.

Hmmmm I wonder what this could be…….

If Twitter is anything to go on, those seals are hungry at the moment! Twice in one week this has popped up on my time line 😂 🦭👆🏼🦠

Today we welcomed David F to the lab as part of his Microbiology Society Research Visit Grant. Over the next 5 weeks we plan to show him the wonderful world of mycoplasmas

Poster up and ready to go #ECCMID2023 Work carried out by previous lab member Lily Simpson who undertook this work as part of a Applied Microbiology International summer studentship. Nice work Lily!!

So how many people actually die from the infections caused by the bacteria which you work on?
