Very nice talk from @emmanuelkuffo15.bsky.social speaking about his hunt for Strep. suis phage at the @microbiologysociety.org young microbiologist of the year finals - and there's a pre-print up! #MicroSky

Great talk from @emmanuelkuffo15.bsky.social at #MicroSoc25

APC is recruiting a Post Doc to work with Prof Mahony at @ucc.ie supporting the PHARM project which aims to elucidate the specific nature of the saccharidic receptors recognised by Streptococcus thermophilus phages through a combined genetic and biochemical approach. Full details bit.ly/4j09N5b

The original plan was to isolate >50 phage-host combos (I naively thought this would be the straightforward bit of the project—it wasn’t). Eventually we got 2 phages tripling the number of genome-sequenced, in vitro characterised Strep. suis phages! Read about Bonnie & Clyde👇🏿
