Back in Birmingham after a great month away at the University of Bonn in the Bierbaum group learning about protein purification and activity testing of WalK. Really grateful to the Bierbaum group for all their help and the @TuringScheme_UK for funding this visit!

A new publication from my PDRA with @alanmcn1. Working with our UK-India collaborators, we screened the ability of non-antibiotic pharmaceuticals to cause genetic changes and cross-resistance to antibiotics (spoiler, not so much). https://t.co/rT1DJq3OcC

Very happy have this out! I’ve been working on a couple of projects since joining @alanmcn1 and this is one of them - looking at the transcriptional response to multidrug resistance plasmids in E. coli. Thanks @AnnSnaith for the help on this too! https://t.co/fj8elN8m5s

The increase in infections that are resistant to multiple classes of antibiotics, including those isolates that carry carbapenamases, beta-lactamases, and colistin resistance genes, is of global...
