I am looking to recruit a Ph.D. trainee that will be working on the impact of microbial interactions on antimicrobial resistance/tolerance. More details below: https://t.co/G7ZJVpQ8Vm Please share!

Well done to all the new networks looking to tackle AMR over the coming four years! Exciting times for the #AMR field!New research networks will tackle antimicrobial resistance – UKRI

Fantastic article on AMR in our rivers and wider environment. Worth a read...with helpful quotes by @PenkovaElitsa ! "Why antimicrobial resistance could be lurking in a waterway near you" https://t.co/TVP0are2W5

Congratulations to Sophie Stephens for winning our Medawar Prize in Human Biology! Sophie’s final year research project with @kreftj investigated bacterial growth rates in batch fermentation.

@metteburmolle Henriette describes how plasmid transfer happens in X.retroflexus where they identified that recipient cell’s flagella has influence on plasmid transfer, including computer simulation by @kreftj See their @AppEnvMicro paper: https://t.co/to4K5nPp4O #Eurobiofilms2024
