High diversity of Escherichia coli causing invasive disease in neonates in Malawi poses challenges for O-antigen based vaccine approach - Communications Medicine Pearse et al. use whole genome sequencing to describe the antigenic and overall diversity of 169 Escherichia coli isolates causing invasive infections in neonates in a single hospital in Malawi. High ...

One of the best things in science is seeing mentees shine😊 first first-author from Olly Pearse; E. coli neonatal sepsis in Malawi and the hard but IMO unavoidable challenge of vaccine design. New drugs alone just won't get us through the AMR crisis. 💻🧬 #MicroSky #IDSky www.nature.com/articles/s43...

Every day, the same story, the same moral pit. The fall of this murderous government can't come soon enough. The only suitable place for Netenyahu is in court for war crimes.

'Generative AI is Theft' meme in the style of 'You Wouldn't Steal a Website'. Made over at https://youwouldntsteala.website/editor.html

We have decided to ban the use of GenAI for research, writing & creative work at our organization.

In fact, we make people sign an agreement saying that their research, analysis, writing, and creative work are *theirs* and not done by GenAI.

We will never get gender equality and pay equity in academia until this issue of under acknowledged and under recognised service and pastoral support is addressed.

a fox is standing in the snow with a rabbit hole in the background . Alt: a fox is standing in the snow looking at something in the snow (a rabbit?), subsequently jumping at said rabbit which turns out to be a rabbit hole with the fox disappearing into the snow snout-first. An excellent depiction of what happens when I get the chance to look at any sort of data.

Special congratulations to Oliver Pearse who shouldered a huge amount of the work during his PhD ☺️ 🎉 lots of publications on the roll! Huge shout-out also as always to Nick Feasey, who is so generous in taking a step back and letting Olly & me take the lead on a deep dive into the data... 😁

Before getting started with the cool transmission analyses, detailed dive who lives where and with whom, etc... we had to take a step back and think about how we actually sample and analyse! Various methods comparisons both 🧫 and 💻, hopefully of interest for #clinical #micro, #NHS,.. 😊

High ward-level and within-sample diversity of Klebsiella pneumoniae on a Malawian neonatal unit revealed by single colony whole genome sequencing and post-enrichment metagenomics Klebsiella pneumoniae is a frequent cause of antimicrobial resistant healthcare associated infections in neonates across sub-Saharan Africa, with multiple lineages associated with neonatal sepsis. How...

First paper on our projects on #Klebsiella transmission in the hospital environment; I'm so lucky to get to work with the wonderful teams@ Malawi Liverpool Wellcome Program, Kamuzu University, Queen Elizabeth Central Hospital🇲🇼

Distribution of capsule and O types in Klebsiella pneumoniae causing neonatal sepsis in Africa and South Asia: meta-analysis of genome-predicted serotype prevalence and potential vaccine coverage Background: Klebsiella pneumoniae causes ~20% of sepsis in neonates, with ~40% crude mortality. A vaccine administered to pregnant women, protecting against 70% of K. pneumoniae infections, could aver...

Also I recently published in Microbial Genomics and it was a great process - fast, reasonable/fair reviews, quick formatting and processing after acceptance.

Guidelines for preventing and reporting contamination in low-biomass microbiome studies - Nature Microbiology In this Consensus Statement, the authors outline strategies for processing, analysing and interpreting low-biomass microbiome samples, and provide recommendations to minimize contaminants.
