Insertion sequence elements associated with Staphylococcus epidermidis evolution in persistent orthopaedic device-related infections

Insertion sequence elements associated with Staphylococcus epidermidis evolution in persistent orthopaedic device-related infections - PubMedOur findings highlight the prominent role of IS elements in driving genetic diversification in S. epidermidis, underscoring the need for closer examination of their contribution to pathoadaptation during...t.co

Genomic insights into specialized and primary metabolism gene clusters in methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus from Egyptian community settings

Genomic insights into specialized and primary metabolism gene clusters in methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus from Egyptian community settings - PubMedCommunity-acquired methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (CA-MRSA) remains a major public health concern. Beyond canonical virulence determinants, biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs) for specialized...t.co

A step forward in discovering Buchnera's key to the aphid's heart, published today! Thanks to Jerry Maeda and other authors--a great team -- and to the helpful reviewers #SymbioSky doi: doi.org/10.1038/s415...

A secreted endosymbiont protein essential for colonizing host cells - NatureSyeA was present in the Buchnera ancestor, is secreted into the host cytoplasm, is homologous to secreted effectors of bacterial pathogens and is essential for Buchnera transmission.doi.org

We kick-off the Campylobacter Control Campaign meeting with partners from @lshtm.bsky.social, @biology.ox.ac.uk, @ineosoxford.bsky.social, alongside collaborators from Côte d’Ivoire, #Nigeria, #Egypt, #Ghana & #BurkinaFaso to finalise a genomic sampling framework to support future vaccine designs.

Ben Pascoe @benizao.bsky.social @sheppardlab.bsky.social shining a light on C. coli - although less common than C. jejuni, it has higher levels of AMR. His work in Peru highlights the importance of this pathogen in LMICs due constant exposure with backyard livestock and antibiotic use 🇵🇪 #CampyUK2025

In our 80th year, we are highlighting some key discoveries in our journal archives. In 1976, Journal of Medical Microbiology took the lead in publishing research on Clostridium difficile as a pathogen - doi.org/10.1099/0022... #JMM

Keynote spotlight: We're thrilled to welcome Professor Christine Szymanski (University of Georgia) to #CampyUK2025 in Oxford! She’ll be sharing insights into the Campylobacter glycome and its role in persistence and disease. 📅 Sept 24–25 🔗 campyuk.web.ox.ac.uk/speakers#col...

"It no longer exists" The Covid Inquiry heard evidence this week that the testing infrastructure built up in 2020 has been completely dismantled. Prof. Alan McNally: "If Sars 3 happens in December, we will be exactly where we were in January 2020" An insult to those we lost.

Geng Zou analysed ~6.5K S. suis genomes 🐷 🦠 & identified the protective capsule 'switch' that facilitates human infection, which has implications for preventing and treating zoonotic infections. @Lucy_Weinert @camvetschool.bsky.social #Microbio25

Make sure to check out the Understudied Bacterial Pathogens session tomorrow. We have a brilliant line up of speakers, including invited talks from Esh Mahenthiralingam and @sylvainbrisse.bsky.social #Microbio25 @microbiologysociety.org @alanmcn1.bsky.social @sheppardlab.bsky.social

I'll be giving a talk on LIN codes for Neisseria meningitidis today at 4pm in the Genetics & Genomics forum. Please come along and have a listen. It is such an exciting (& up and coming) area. @microbiologysociety.org #MicroBio25
