Delighted to be involved in the Gram-Negative Antibiotic Discovery Innovator (Gr-ADI) consortium novonordiskfonden.dk/en/news/new-... as part of a project led by Annette von Delft gcgh.grandchallenges.org/grant/discov... @modmedmicro.bsky.social @samlipworth.bsky.social @philipwfowler.bsky.social
Our project "Sardinia’s Invisible Marine Microbiome" is one of six 2026 #PartArt4OW participatory art initiatives! Excited to do this with the brilliant @annadumitriu.bsky.social (image credit), Sardinian scientists, citizens of Alghero, and colleagues in @modmedmicro.bsky.social @bashthebug.net
Which would align with the assumption that colonisation precedes infection for many common bacterial infections, and that AMR prevalence in non-sterile site isolates mimics that in bloodstream infections www.nature.com/articles/s41...
By Shireen Kotay/Amy Mathers - Biofilm removal in hospital sink drains drives unintended surges in antibiotic resistance rdcu.be/e1uTu. Effects akin to gut microbiome dysbiosis/loss of colonisation resistance. To mitigate these reservoirs we need better evidence to understand what works best where.

Hoping to innovate community population-level AMR surveillance with the ALARUM team bmjopen.bmj.com/content/16/2.... Can we use metagenomics of pooled colonisation samples to predict clinical AMR burden & inform antimicrobial guidelines?
Are you a post-doctoral microbiologist interested in characterising bacterial resistance evolution and want to apply your knowledge and expertise to developing new therapeutics for Klebsiella (and other Enterobacterales) infections? Then we need you! Apply now bit.ly/3MX39Ce close date March 13th 👀
🚨 New pre-print! 🚨 In the largest study of its kind to-date, we investigate the ecological and evolutionary mechanisms driving within-patient evolution of antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Read here:
www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6... , and follow along with this thread, discussing our findings (1/21)
🚨 Fully‑funded PhD for Home Students🚨
We'll explore non-antibiotic alternatives in relatistic environments, uncovering how they work, if they affect antibiotic activity and whether they influcence AMR acquistion. Come join a wonderful supervisory team!

Background In rural sub-Saharan Africa (sSA), the burden of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) remains high. As AMR continues to rise, there is a strong need for practical, implementable surveillance to m...

Bacteria, microplastics & resistance — what’s the connection?
#Microplastics are everywhere, even in hospitals. But what happens when bacteria stick to them? Come and find out!
