I had the best time! Thank you for having me. Loving seeing everyone here talking about the things they enjoyed at #FISHIS24

See you all next year

To My Unmasked Friend in the Fifth Year of COVID I’m going to be honest with you, because I love you, and you deserve nothing but honesty. I’m going to try really hard not to be angry…

Great time at my first #FISHIS24 - completed with my favouritist of things. Worms where worms should not be.

A plea to maskless health-care workers from vulnerable patients - Healthy Debate Health-care workers have a responsibility to protect their vulnerable patients. Our lives are in your hands.

I'm so honored to have received this repost.

Let me take this opportunity to note that not a single person pictured cares about airborne transmission of a novel pathogen that poses a serious risk of nosocomial infection.

Which is to say: wear a proper fucking mask, you clowns.

🙏 So very grateful to the entire The Lancet Microbe editorial team especially @onisillos.bsky.social for publishing our article in time for ASTMH24 and #FISHIS24 hosted for the @biainfection.bsky.social Barnett Christie Prize Lecture. It looks beautiful in print at long last!

That’s at wrap. #FISHIS24 See you next year

#FISHIS24 what a fantastic 3 days in Liverpool! Thank you @hisinfection.bsky.social and fitwise for organising.

@idiots-pod.bsky.social Conference wrap up coming soon! #idsky

And so it ends! Thank you to everyone who attended this year's #FISHIS24, and to Dr James Price for his role as Chair and for his closing remarks.

Great cases in the Tropical Grand Round at #FISHIS24 with expert panel chaired by Fiona McGill

1) Murine typhus with HLH
2) P. ovale malaria with severe G6PD deficiency
3) Scrub typhus
4) Loa loa with eyeworm & calabar swellings

@hisinfection.bsky.social @biainfection.bsky.social

#FISHIS24 - tropical grand round to finish off. HLH driven by typhus

How do we know what to prepare for? Marion Koopmans #FISHIS24 Pandemic planning needs early recognition and action.

Trichophyton indotineae, the terrifying consequence of widespread use of topical terbinafine at subtherapeutic doses and example of emerging resistance in common fungal presentation from the Leeds Mycology Reference Centre

#fishis24 @hisinfection.bsky.social @biainfection.bsky.social

Interesting talk on C. auris by @andy-borman.bsky.social. Additional clades emerging, much more to understand about resistance mechanisms, and the importance of careful individualised infection control 🍄

#fishis24 @hisinfection.bsky.social @biainfection.bsky.social

Jasmin Islam #FISHIS24 talks about important lessons from pandemic planning. Favourite point is collaboration!

BSMM session starting up with @andy-borman.bsky.social giving an update on C. auris outbreaks at #FISHIS24

Coming to the end of a big week in Liverpool, great to share some of our work on pathogen transmission and antibiotic persistence. Thanks @jayhinton.bsky.social for hosting me at @liverpooluni.bsky.social and thanks to the Microbiology Society for the support to present at #FISHIS24

Irina is our day 2 puzzle winner from yesterday at #FISHIS24. She was a fierce competitor and really wanted her cuddly microbe… enjoy Irina!

#FISHIS24 Bridging the research gap. Nigel Saunders from Genpax. Use Nike principles - Just do it! Amazing research career!
3 golden rules:
So what?
Solve the solvable.
Do you care? If yes do it.

Ready for our session on Bridging the research Gap #FISHIS24

What is Narrative Reporting | Narrative Reporting in Microbiology Narrative Reporting introduces the patient story into the formal microbiology report, taking it from a cold statement of scientific findings about a specimen received by the laboratory, to a document ...

Narrative reporting- we should all be doing this! It uses the opportunity to use our routine reports for maximum impact for patients. To take this further we need to ensure we are writing for patients and clinicians #FISHIS24

A global perspective on #SurgicalSiteInfection at #FISHIS24, with work from Dr Keita Morikane on #SSI in Asia

“if you always do what you always did, you will always get what you always got” with visionary thinker Mike Simmons #FISHIS24

Dan Pan asks how effective are or protective behaviours in reducing staff acquisition of covid? #FISHIS24 Fascinating! Mist isolating factors associated with deterioration in mental health. Those who took up recommendations less likely to be vaccine hesitant.

#FISHIS24 great session with some real world IPC.

Great to see Alistair Yeoh presenting work from UHSussex demonstrating how we are using whole genome sequencing in conjunction with @Genpax @james-r-price.bsky.social #FISHIS24
