Interested in fighting AMR? Come and join us at St Andrews. applications are open until 15th May to students worldwide!

📣 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

We would love feedback on a new NCBI-BLAST service we are launching today: sky-blast.com

Under the hood it's the same BLAST executable and databases provided by NCBI, with a replica of the NIH's interface - providing an alternative to the US gov service that's less congested, faster & more reliable

Chimeric infective particles expand species boundaries in phage inducible chromosomal island mobilization Some mobile genetic elements spread among unrelated bacterial species through unknown mechanisms. Recently, we discovered that identical capsid-forming phage-inducible chromosomal islands (cf-PICIs), ...

New mechanism of gene transfer! With @tcostalab.bsky.social @imperialcollegeldn.bsky.social, we discovered that cf-PICIs form tail-less elements that, once released, spread among different bacterial species by hijacking tails from various phages. More exciting news soon! shorturl.at/kRJqE

With @CostaT_Lab, we challenged AI co-scientist to generate scientific hypotheses. It correctly predicted how cf-PICIs spread between bacterial species, matching our unpublished, experimentally confirmed mechanism! 🤯 @imperialcollegeldn.bsky.social
