Grateful of making this video https://t.co/HaVnOTUBSE to explain my research #BetterVaccineDesign #SaveLives #ReduceAMR @UniofBath @MilnerCentre

Microbial Genomics is looking to appoint a Deputy Editor-in-Chief, who will help develop the editorial strategy and new content for the journal. Applications close on 1 November, more information about the role can be found here:

It’s such a pleasure to see that #GPS_project 🩻funded by @gatesfoundation has been featured in this AMR article by @sangerinstitute , showing our global efforts on evaluating AMR after vaccine 💉 rollout. https://t.co/VaF5DoPptW

🦠🧪🧬 Excited to share that our GPS Pipeline, the portable and scalable genomic pipeline for Streptococcus pneumoniae surveillance, is now published in @NatureComms 🔗 https://t.co/zMpJWPTMEl #GPS_project

[New pre-print🚨] When a single genotype (pbp) confer resistance to multiple antibiotics (penicillin and cephalosporins), how do we make sense of genetic changes and their impact on AMR? A new concept - AMR cartography is invented by @Quackscience https://t.co/8UWQNdHgUr

[🚨 New paper] The first nationwide, longitudinal WGS analysis of Streptococcus pneumoniae in Taiwan (2006–2022). 1,343 isolates from 27 hospitals, we track serotype, AMR, and genomic lineage before and after PCV13. #GPS_project #PCV13_impact #Taiwan https://t.co/PcRsmAmkov

New paper out in Pneumonia. More data from the carriage study in Southampton, UK looking at pneumococci in pre-PCV13 era versus early- and late-PCV13 periods (I also snuck in some bits on other bacteria ... just for a bit of variety) https://t.co/prjdIDU8pc

Promoter variation in Streptococcus: S. pneumoniae promoters contain repetitive nucleotides, driving strand slippage & promoter mutations. This drives population-level heterogeneity in gene expression, offering evolutionary strategy to maximize fitness https://t.co/qdojFlpogn

A great collaboration with Dr Dan Neill and his team in @dundeeuni and others in @ucl @StJudeResearch @unibern @uniofliverpool @UCT_news @uwanews @UniofBath @MilnerCentre @sangerinstitute @pneumowatch

However, this promoter variant does not thrive on its own and is usually co-occurence of the wild-type promoter without "A", showing heterogeneous gene expression during single infections provides population benefits

This tiny mutation—found not only mouse colonization models but also clinical isolates from the #GPS_project—enhance S. pneumoniae colonization reducing mucus trapping.

[New paper alert🚨] What happens when pneumococci 'slip' and 'add' just one extra A in a promoter spacer of a sugar scavenging gene? 🧬 https://t.co/Sy0fqIPm7S

Our review on within-host bacterial evolution is now out @NatureMicrobiol With Gerry Tonkin-Hill, @Josie_M_B @katrina_lythgoe and Stephen Bentley https://t.co/y0GN5bH7Pi

Our team is hiring an ambitious senior bioinformatician to look at bacterial capsules . This position will closely collaborate with @emblebi @StephenBentley5 @johnlees6 @stephlo_lo Closing date: 20 July 2025 https://t.co/pujNp7xiKg

The Rosch Lab is hiring a Senior Scientist-Host Microbe Interactions in Memphis, Tennessee. The lab studies the interactions between pathogenic bacteria and their hosts. Review all of the job details and apply today!

It’s my great pleasure to present the Global Pneumoocccal Sequencing project at #LISSSD25 I feel humbled to learn more about Group A and Group B streptococci and other species, and meet great minds to discuss science. #GPS_project

Dr Dorota Jamrozy presents a well-powered GWAS to identify genetic features associated with invasive #GBS disease as compared with carriage at #LISSSD25 Thanks to the >20,000 GBS genomes in the #JUNO_project @sangerinstitute

Over half a million of pneumococcal disease in children reported in China annually Our paper showed 1) 94% serotypes covered by PCV13 2) 99.8% isolates resistant to ≥1 antibiotics Routine PCV use in children will ↘️ pneumococcal disease and AMR https://t.co/bvVOvtshNW

Good morning Brisbane! What a nice view to prepare my very first talk at #LISSSD25 ! Looking forward to meeting people at the conference. #GPS_project #pneumococci #Genomics

☑️ Attended my first Europneumo. ☑️ Presented a poster at a conference for the first time. ☑️ Had a great time 😁 Loved being able to share what I've been working on over the past 6 months about the global patterns of serotype 4.
