A novel two-component system controls vancomycin resistance in epidemic Clostridioides difficile The glycopeptide antibiotic vancomycin is the frontline treatment for C. difficile infection in the UK. There have been only sporadic reports of resistance in the clinic but testing is rare so the tru...

New preprint from us! The latest part of our C. difficile vancomycin resistance story. We identified a new two-component system (VnrRS) that can control expression of the vanG pathway - just needs one amino acid change

Invasive Group A Streptococcal Infections in 10 US States This population-based surveillance study investigates trends in the incidence, characteristics, antimicrobial resistance, and outcomes of invasive group A Streptococcus infections among individuals in 10 US states.

From 2013 to 2022, invasive group A Streptococcus infections increased in 10 US states, with higher incidence among older adults, American Indian or Alaska Native persons, and vulnerable groups. https://ja.ma/3G9OPT2

Two photos of Anna, a young white woman using an electric wheelchair, wearing a blue lab coat that fits her well with tables and dry-lab equipment in the background. Text reads: "A team of researchers and designers led by UCL is looking for wheelchair users working in wet lab environments to user-test what is believed to be the first-ever prototype of a lab coat adapted for wheelchair users."

Do you know a UK-based wheelchair user who works in a lab and would be willing to user-test our prototype of what is believed to be the first-ever lab coat adapted for wheelchair users?
