The impact of cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) modulators on the pulmonary microbiota. Published now in #MicrobioJ: doi.org/10.1099/mic....

No I haven't gone crazy. I have to insert this random phrase into a post so I can make some admin changes to my account. [356359-black-coffee-cup]

Congrats Marian! Very much deserved

Mystique is here! When I started my position at @cmdi.bsky.social there were no readily available phage against my A. baumannii focal strain. The solution? Finding my own phage ofc. Mystique is a broad host range Acinetobacter phage, and I'm thrilled to see this work out today #PhageSky 🧪🦠

New review on CFTR modulators and the impact on the microbiota published by the @microbiologysociety.org www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/jour...

Was nice to catch up with old friends at #MicroSoc25 and see some excellent science. Also great to see that Microbiology’s future is in the hands of a talented next generation. If you enjoyed this meeting then please remember to support the @microbiologysociety.org journals in the future.

To all enjoying #MicroBio25 remember: all @microbiologysociety.org events rely on our journals - every paper pays 4x travel grants! Make 2025 when you submit a paper to a MicroSoc journal www.microbiologyresearch.org $0 OA for Publish+Read institutions www.microbiologyresearch.org/publish-and-...

Happy to be in Liverpool for #Microbio25. Should be an interesting and fun few days

Excited to see review with @asherleeks.bsky.social out today in Nature Antimicrobials and Resistance. We compare application of social evolution to treatment of infection in bacteria and viruses: very different stories! rdcu.be/eftKw @biology.ox.ac.uk @erc.europa.eu @naturerevmicro.bsky.social

A happy Friday seeing this out! I lucked out and got to work with a couple of really great students on this, Shalini and Jacob, and I’m super proud to see their hard work rewarded #microsky www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/jour...

$8B???? Thats... I can't even... I'm lost for words. arxiv.org/abs/2407.16551 I will take this moment to remind you to support your society journals often. Imagine if they had the $8B instead!

Delighted to be able to share our new review on R-pyocins produced by Pseudomonas aeruginosa. It covers genetics, regulation, killing mechanisms and therapeutic potential amongst other things. #MicroSky www.nature.com/articles/s44...

📣New review revisits Fleming’s caveat about antibiotic misuse and #AMR. Decisions by healthcare professionals, policymakers, pharmaceutical companies, & patients have all shaped AMR. Coordinated action is needed to solve it. From Mato Lagator, @dannagifford.bsky.social and coauthors. doi.org/n8z7

#OnThisDay in 1941 the first patient, Albert Alexander, was treated with Penicillin. This event marked the success of antibiotics and their application in medicine. His story serves as a testament to inspire researchers to develop new life-saving antibiotics in an effort against AMR #KnockingOutAMR
