#ESKAPE pathogens we are passionate about researching for #AMR are also a trigger for #autoimmunity and type 1 #diabetes - interface where Infection and Immunity relate to patient pathology!
Thanks to the team for seeing our latest type 1 diabetes study over the line and published! 🏁 With special thanks to @DrLucyCJones and colleagues for rounding up the patient samples - we can’t do our research without their the generous participation! 🙏🏻 https://t.co/gmlhJk5saE

Great to see this published in @jclinicalinvest -Our own @DrLucyCJones and @brad_spiller collaborating with @TcellResearch done at @CUSystemsImmu show that #Klebsiella oxytoca-derived peptides may trigger autoimmunity & type I #diabetes after infection of those with HLA A*24:02

Lab seems very quiet now that our cohort of summer students have completed their internships. Many thanks to this year's generous funding from LTA @cardiffuni, @AMIposts and @INSPIREUoB - the excellent interns will be hugely missed!

A sunny bank holiday and our events for the IRFLUVA study, showed us that people over 50 years of age find keeping house plants & gardening helps their well-being. Our research team agree 🌸🌼🌻🌱 #Wellbeing #HealthyAgeing @CardiffUni @CUSystemsImmu @CAVUHB_SLT #SummerVibes2024

Great to see our collaborative commentary with our @IneosOxford coauthors published in The Conversation (@TC_Africa) raising awareness about #AMR in babies in #Nigeria highlighting our continuing collaborative research.
'By 2050, more people will die from antimicrobial resistance than both cancer and diabetes combined.' Researchers from @IneosOxford have found that babies in Nigeria are being born with antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Learn more ⬇️ https://t.co/RMiWBjnc8J

Many thanks to Matt Koch at the digital publication #TheMicrobiologist for asking @brad_spiller from @CUmedicengage and @GaryHobgen from @Feedwater to contribute a featured article this month.
The latest feature in #TheMicrobiologist examines the history of Legionella spp. testing and asks whether it's time for a change. https://t.co/RG5ZfeWASe

Thanks @drkeithsiau for raising awareness of this important health concern. @Spiller_Lab and @IneosOxford we are very focused on #AMR and #ESKAPE pathogen infections as a future global health emergency is brewing 🦠
ESKAPE refers to the 6 bacteria that cause the most deaths from hospital acquired infections across the world. These are highly multi-drug resistant and are often a consequence of antibiotic overuse.

#ICYMI New research from the IOI & @Spiller_Lab found colistin-resistant bacteria in mothers and newborn babies in several hospitals in Nigeria from 2015-2017, despite limited clinical use of colistin at that time. 📽️Watch the video and find out more👉 https://t.co/mvZCL6qzwX
