So happy to have passed my PhD viva! It's been a journey and half. Couldn't have done it without the amazing @78SarahK!🎉🎉 Thank you so much to @DrMicroMandroid and @LyndaPartridge for an enjoyable discussion of my work.
Couldn’t be more proud!! @OnaNeo passed her PhD with minor corrections 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳 A big thank you also to the two examiners (@DrMicroMandroid and @LyndaPartridge and the chair Gosia)! 🤩

Quite a few people have asked whether they can attend the 567th inaugural lecture online. That's not typical here so we thank @CoMUIIbadan for making it possible. Note the time change - it is now 3PM on Thur 21 Nov, Trenchard Hall @UniIbadan or Youtube https://t.co/9q16NxBqxI

Fun fact about this year's ContamCalendar - it was created entirely from a hospital bed after I spent 7 weeks in hospital following heart surgery. This surgery was actually partially related to both contamination and the ContamCalendars.... 📆🫀🩺🦠

This is the highlight of my year (so far) scientifically talking. I’ve finally managed to grow at high rate (and reproduce it) keratinocytes from gum tissue from patents with periodontitis #perio How cool is that? At the bottom you can see the explant #AcademicTwitter

Transfer of a resistance plasmid is increased in a biofilm, which may be a significant contributing factor to the rapid dissemination of resistance plasmids in K. pneumoniae. @SJElement @mmcbuckner @WvSchaik @IMIBirmingham #mSphere

Carbapenem-resistant K. pneumoniae is particularly problematic in hospital settings. Carbapenem resistance genes can transfer between bacteria via plasmid conjugation. Alongside drug resistance, K....
