Presenting work on Haemophilus influenzae GWAS at Microbiology Society Annual Conference using the global genome collection from PubMLST. Some potential gene hits are revealed and might be key in understanding this highly underrated pathogen 🤔

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

Do you like plasmids, AMR and stuff? Come see my poster at A050! #Microbio24 MicroSociety

Hey #microbio24! If you're interested in 🦠 that do ⚔️, check out my talk about 🛡️! All will be revealed tomorrow - in the Fintry Room, Level 3 10:45am (Prokaryotic Stress Responses) ❤️

The evolution of bacteria warfare always fascinates me 🦠⚔️🦠

Our next Analysing Microbial Genomics Data (AMGD) is open for registration. A hands-on, week long tutorial based introduction to the field featuring additional talks from @unibirm_MDS IMIBirmingham researchers. 1st to 5th July, hurry as places limited birmingham.ac.uk/postgraduate/c…

❇️The complexity of evolved bacterial #AMR within patients and what can be done to improve our understanding in future work

A single-layer spot assay allows for fast high-throughput quantitation of phages against multidrug-resistant gram-negative pathogens. The method is less cumbersome than double-agar overlay plaque assay, the gold standard for phage enumeration. asm.social/20d JClinMicro EIC

Pseudomonas aeruginosa surface motility and invasion into competing communities enhance interspecies antagonism mBio by Andrea Sánchez Peña et al from Dominique Limoli with CareyNadell journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/mb…

It's out! Our review on "Quantitative principles of (microbial) metabolism shared across scales" is out in Nature Microbiology. Studies of metabolism often focus on one specific scale (enzyme, cell, organism, community) – yet they are connected. How can we bridge this gap?

❗️REMINDER: bioinformatics posts available in our lab Ineos Oxford Institute for Antimicrobial Research Oxford Biology. Postdoc and graduate positions available. Deadline - Sept 9th

Finally, this beautiful work is published on PNASNews! Many thanks Xiaoli Chen for the brilliant experimental works and my lab @MicSysEcoLab for many insightful suggestions! Link here pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn… and summary threads in previous tweets👇🏻

Last afternoon at #Pseudomonas2024. Amazing five days in beautiful Copenhagen, with lots of great talks and discussions about Pseudomonas biology and quorum sensing!

Excited and looking forward to working with this incredible team!

Published today Nature Communications We discovered a bacterial NLR-like pattern recognition receptor that can sense 3 different viral proteins as a signature for infection. This explains its broad defense against different phage families Congrats Nathalie Bechon! nature.com/articles/s4146…

Warm congratulations to 🎓DOCTOR Taoran Fu 🎓, who passed her viva yesterday! We're really stoked that you're staying on to PostDoc at Microbial Evolution Research Manchester (MERMan) 🎉

So so excited! And I feel so lucky to have been part of Brockhurst group and Microbial Evolution Research Manchester (MERMan), working with so many intelligent amazing and kind people. I am so happy to continue my journey here for the next stage of my career
