Another great #MicroSoc26! Sophie and Shenali are still at their posters for another 30 mins if you want to talk tolerance!

Does anyone in the UK have a conjugative enterococcal resistance plasmid (e.g. pCF10) that they'd be willing to share? I'm finding it impossible to find one! (Next step is to try US folks, but that will require an import permit). Thanks!

Thanks Tracy, it was a really enjoyable day.

It was a pleasure! Thanks very much for the invitation and to all for the really interesting chats 😊

Heading home from another great @bsacandjac.bsky.social
#AntibioticResistance & Mechanisms Workshop! @microclaire.bsky.social
And Sophie is bringing home a 1st place poster prize 🏆😍

📣New preprint alert! We report the alarming finding that stringent response mutations found in clinical isolates increase the frequency of donation of multiresistance plasmids in S. aureus 😱 Great team effort @microclaire.bsky.social @paulrjohnston.bsky.social

📣 Calling all senior microbiology postdocs! The University of St Andrews is inviting applications from outstanding visionary Research Fellow and Future Leader candidates to attend a Biomolecular Science Fellowship Day. Applications due by 12th Dec, see link for full details: tinyurl.com/4n3na8vn

The impact of bacterial purine metabolism on antibiotic efficacy npj Antimicrobials and Resistance - The impact of bacterial purine metabolism on antibiotic efficacy

📢Our review of the impact of bacterial purine synthesis on antibiotic tolerance and resistance expression is now out! A lot of food for thought and contrasting data from E. coli and S. aureus... 🤔

📣 We're hiring! We have a 12-month vacancy for a Postdoctoral Research Fellow with skills in molecular microbiology. See the details and apply here: www.vacancies.st-andrews.ac.uk/Vacancies/W/...

Please share!

With 2.5 months till the deadline, it's worth reminding everyone what a fantastic opportunity the #MarieCurieFellowships are!

#PhDs from all over the world can apply for personal #postdoc fellowships to work at European Universities marie-sklodowska-curie-actions.ec.europa.eu/actions/post...

Such a fun way to spend a Friday afternoon! 🏎️ 🏆
Ashley (aka Daniella Ricardo) was victorious, with
Claire a close second. What should we do for our next lab outing?!

It's out! The final peer-reviewed version of our paper about Prs-mediated tolerance in S. aureus COL is now published in Molecular Microbiology. Read it here! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Working on my talk right now! 😁

If any finishing-up PhD students or post-docs are interested in antibiotic tolerance and writing a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Postdoctoral Fellowship together this summer, please get in touch!

📣 The Journal of Medical Microbiology is looking for Editors for the Antimicrobial Resistance section! No prior editor experience required, so it's a great first gig for an ECR. And you get subsidised attendance at the annual meeting. Open to applicants worldwide 🌍 @microbiologysociety.org

Made it to Heidelberg! Excited for 4 days of talks - never seen so many talks on tolerance at one meeting! #EESDrugresistance
