Plasmid streamlining drives the extinction of antibiotic resistance plasmids under selection for horizontal transmission Conjugative plasmids play an important role in the spread of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) genes among pathogenic bacteria. This study shows that AMR loss in evolving populations is associated with t...

Pane lol panel

It was fun, thanks for talking me through it. Definitely think pane made more than a nod to microbiome intervention/diet mod, your approach, and poster session generally. It was interesting to see scepticism about the kleb vaccine feasibility in the summing up discussion. Refreshingly real

Thanks Jenny! Learnt tons about the T2SS in #Klebsiella at fantastic #KLEBS2024

Great poster microbiome interventions and #Klebsiella decolonisation. #KLEBS2024

Great poster great conference! #KLEBS2024 #Klebsiella
