Das Team von Katharina Schaufler @schauflerlab.org @helmholtz-hioh.bsky.social hat antibiotikaresistente Keime in der Ostsee nachgewiesen. In unserem Interview spricht sie über das Problem mit antibiotikaresistenten Bakterien & den großen Handlungsbedarf. #AMR www.helmholtz-hzi.de/media-center...

Der Grundstein ist gelegt! Wir freuen uns darauf, dass unser neues #OneHealth-Gebäude in #Greifswald Gestalt annimmt, wo bald neue Ideen und #Teamwork zusammenkommen werden. www.helmholtz-hioh.de/de/newsroom/... @unigreifswald.bsky.social

We asked ChatGPT to create a comic-style illustration that sums up our research group and topics #AMR #OneHealth 💧🐄🌳🦌🚶‍♀️🦠— here’s the result. I think it captures it well! However, I wonder why we are all wearing shirts of the same color. 😅

Check out our latest work in Frontiers in Microbiology! 🔗 doi.org/10.3389/fmic... We used #genomics, #transcriptomics, and #proteomics to uncover distinctive traits in #Kpneumoniae, offering insights that could support future diagnostics and therapies. Thanks to all collaborators!

Last month the European Commission authorized a bacteriophage preparation as a feed additive for poultry, which will go into effect this month. This preparation, which is supposed to selectively target 𝘚𝘢𝘭𝘮𝘰𝘯𝘦𝘭𝘭𝘢, is the first of its kind to be approved by the EU. 1/2 #AMR #PhageTherapy

Die Kraft des #Mikrobioms nutzen: Das Team um die HZI-Forscher:innen Till Strowig & Lisa Osbelt-Block entwickelt ein lebendes Biotherapeutikum, das krankmachende Bakterien aus dem Darm verdrängen soll. @dzif.bsky.social unterstützt das Projekt nun mit 2.2 Mio €. www.helmholtz-hzi.de/media-center...

With the Baltic Sea right on our doorstep, we are beginning to investigate Vibrio species, some of which can be relevant opportunistic pathogens. Hopefully, we will gain exciting insights. The first infection this season in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania was reported yesterday. #AMR #OneHealth

Molecular biology methods are key to our daily wet lab work. They're essential for uncovering mechanisms behind antibiotic resistance, bacterial fitness, and virulence. Combining these insights lays groundwork for novel strategies to combat #AMR pathogens.

Thank you to the 𝘑𝘶𝘯𝘨𝘦𝘴 𝘒𝘰𝘭𝘭𝘦𝘨 @wiko-greifswald.bsky.social for the opportunity to speak about #AntimicrobialResistance. I'm very grateful for the thoughtful questions and warm atmosphere. It was a pleasure to be part of the lively discussion and to be able to represent @helmholtz-hioh.bsky.social!

Ein Projekt von @schauflerlab.org zur Verbreitung von antimikrobiellen Resistenzen in der Ostsee wurde mit dem Undine Award 2025 ausgezeichnet. Dieses Video der Josef Wund Stiftung stellt die Preisträgerin und ihr Team am @helmholtz-hioh.bsky.social vor. #OneHealth #AMR youtu.be/JA0fF2MDnvE?...

During our stay in Kenya, we had the privilege to work alongside our incredible partners in the heart of the Masai Mara. Surrounded by thousands of cattle, we collected samples to study antimicrobial resistance in this stunning One Health setting. #AMR #OneHealth #fieldwork

At the beginning of June, part of the team spent two weeks in Kenya for a meeting with our cooperation partner at @ilri.org We also held a workshop at Maasai Mara University. Thank you for the impressive experiences we were able to gain with you, especially in the field work.🙏

We feel incredibly honored and are very grateful to the Josef Wund Foundation for awarding us the Undine Water Prize for our water projects. Thank you for believing in our work!

🧪🕊️ Out in the field today sampling herring gulls as part of our AMR surveillance in wild birds. Monitoring antimicrobial resistance in wildlife is key to understanding its spread across environments #AMR #OneHealth #Fieldwork #HerringGulls #ScienceInAction

Happy to announce that our „newest old tool“ autoMLST2.0 is out and published. You need an accurate and easy to use tool to build #phylogenetictrees from #bacterialgenomes: academic.oup.com/nar/advance-...

Antimicrobial resistance #AMR isn’t a joke — but raising awareness through humor can help! We are asking you, for your best #science #joke and starting with: What’s a bacterium’s favorite song? “Don’t Stop Me Now” — superbugs love it. #microbiology

Earlier this week, the #WHO published an analysis of global antibiotics use based on 2022 data. Only one-third of CTAs meet the goal of 70% Access antibiotic use. Watch antibiotics remain overused, fueling #AMR, while Reserve antibiotics are underused in many LMIC, highlighting access and data gaps.

Week two of the sampling in our #citizenscience project is wrapping up, but the lab work is just getting started🥼🧪. From the first samples, we were already able to isolate a strain that might be an ESBL-producing 𝘌. 𝘤𝘰𝘭𝘪🦠🔬. Curious to see what the upcoming samples will bring🤔. #OneHealth

"Antibiotika-Resistenzen sind eine der größten globalen Herausforderungen, die wir haben", sagt Katharina Schaufler @schauflerlab.org @helmholtz-hioh.bsky.social. Sie hat in ihrem Labor Putenfleisch untersucht & in 6 von 14 Proben resistente Keime gefunden. Via SWR. #AMR www.swr.de/verbraucher/...

#citizenscience #sciencecommunication: It's a lot of fun, and we're all learning together! We bring the knowledge from our #AMR science to the community. Together with pupils, we collect samples, and look at the AMR results. They are engaged, curious and full of new perspectives. #OneHealth

Just wrapped up some interesting days at #ESCMIDGlobal2025 in Vienna! Huge thanks to the organizers for such a well-put-together conference. So many great talks, valuable opportunities to connect with colleagues, and a fantastic platform to present our latest research. Looking forward to next year!

Day 2 at #ESCMIDGlobal2025 is buzzing! Eager to catch a bunch of insightful talks today. 🔬🗣️ #microbiology #infectiousdiseases

It took us much longer than expected to get to Vienna. But now we are looking forward to interesting talks, fruitful discussions and meeting colleagues at #ESCMIDGlobal2025.

#Science isn’t always black and white! Sometimes it reveals hidden colors. We love exploring the diverse #bacterial world. #Microscopy #Microbiology

We're excited for the opportunity to present our research at this years @escmid.bsky.social Global 2025 in Vienna! Join us on Saturday (12.04.) at 13:30 in Arena 4 to learn about our novel continuous experimental evolution methodology and its implications for #AMR #Research. #ESCMIDGlobal

Introducing: #BALTICAMR 🌊🦠 Investigating the spread of multidrug-resistant bacteria and antibiotic residues in the Baltic Sea, aiming to develop effective strategies to combat AMR. #OneHealth #AMR #EnvironmentalHealth For more information, check our website: www.helmholtz-hioh.de/en

Today we've created a short video on isolating bacteria from water samples for a citizen science project. It will be shown to school children learning about antimicrobial resistance, #zoonoses, and #onehealth 🌍💧🔬, demonstrating how human, animal, and environmental health are connected.

We are looking for a dedicated replacement to work as a technical assistant. www.helmholtz-hzi.de/karriere/job... If you are interested, please send us your complete application documents in accordance with the job advertisement. @helmholtz-hioh.bsky.social

We focus on two additional research pillars: Functional Omics and Aalternative Strategies. Through projects like DISPATch_MRGN and MDR-DEKOL, we are deepening our understanding of resistance development, fitness and virulence factors in order to develop alternative therapies against #AMR bacteria.

The #AMR Surveillance is supported by an innovative diagnostic pipeline (developed within the InnoDia project) encompassing standardized processing of samples as well as storage, cultivation and cultivation-free (meta-)genomics analyses.

One of the research pillars of our lab is the Antimicrobial Resistance (#AMR) Surveillance. Within different projects (BALTIC-AMR, WiMoPOH, KenGe) we monitor pathogen circulation in a One Health context, and aim to identify AMR reservoirs and newly emerging pathogens. Image by Elias Eger.

We had a wonderful time at the DGI/DZIF Joint Meeting in Munich! Inspiring talks and fantastic to connect with colleagues. Thanks to all the organizers and presenters. #DGI_DZIF_AnnualMeeting

Are you a student at the @unigreifswald.bsky.social? And are you interested in working with a dynamic research group dedicated to combating AMR bacteria? And do you have experience of basic laboratory methods, including bacterial cultivation, DNA extraction, PCR, and agar/broth preparation?

We are the dept. "Epidemiology and Ecology of Antibiotic Resistance” at the Helmholtz Institute for One Health (HIOH). We elucidate the occurrence and transmission of antimicrobial-resistant bacteria in a #OneHealth context. Additionally we identify and validate targets to fight #AMR pathogens.
