This new review by Anne L McCartney and Lesley Hoyles examines the often overlooked role of Klebsiella bioactives in host-microbiota dynamics. 🔗 Access the full article here: doi.org/10.1530/MAH-24-0011

On our way to @mgeworkshop.bsky.social for @lotox.bsky.social to present later. Looking forward to some amazing talks! @arom-ntu.bsky.social #mgeworkshop

I am Honoured to have received the 2nd Prize at NTU's ⭐️ STAR (Science & Tech Annual Research) Conference! Special thanks to my supervisors @conmeehan.bsky.social @blackpassiflora.bsky.social and collaborators @danwhiley.bsky.social @Kate Cox for the incredible support. @arom-ntu.bsky.social

Great to see the typeset version of this invited review out. Covers pretty much everything we know about metabolites/peptides produced by Klebsiella spp. and how they interact with the host. #microsky #microbiomesky @microbiotaandhost.bsky.social doi.org/10.1530/MAH-...

New paper from @jodywinter.bsky.social's team on how menadione affects transcriptional responses of Helicobacter pylori. Well done to PhD students Stephen and Rebecca! #microsky #Helicobacter www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/jour...

We're running our introductory/launch event for LEAP tonight, unfortunately I can't attend as I'm full of a cold (not great look to start a super spreader event). Though LEAP we hope to bring in more public participation into our research, to find out more and keep up to date follow our BlueSky...

Deadline to apply for this PhD is 14 February.

New year, new publication! From @conmeehan.bsky.social and colleagues @tlillebaek.bsky.social ek.bsky.social and @micronorman.bsky.social describing four new species of Mycobacterium.

Great end to the year for @arom-ntu.bsky.social, with three new publications out. 1. Shared mechanisms of enhanced plasmid maintenance and antibiotic tolerance mediated by the VapBC toxin:antitoxin system - @mcvickermicro.bsky.social, Dr Jonathan Thomas

At Nottingham Trent University (NTU), we’re tackling some of the biggest health challenges in society; dementia, cancer, diabetes, obesity, and infections. But we can’t do it alone. Through our LEAP (Learn, Engage and Analyse with the Public) initiative, we want to hear your thoughts and (1/3)

Applied Microbiology International is here! Give them a follow @amiposts.bsky.social #microsky #microbiomesky

Congratulations to @conmeehan.bsky.social and colleagues on their recent publication! #microsky

New translational study from @bugsinyourguts.bsky.social and @drsimonmcarthur.bsky.social (at QMUL) showing how a microbiome-associated metabolite implicated in chronic kidney disease affects the blood–brain barrier. #microbiomesky

Great to kick off #WAAW with a huge injection of enthusiasm from students who entered our NTU-Mak partnership's annual competition, producing engaging videos and comic strips to help raise awareness of AMR. Congratulations to the winners! All available at jodywinter.wixsite.com/waaw/waaw-2024

We're excited to be attending the 1st full East Midlands AMR Network conference TODAY!! Drop by our stand to enter the prize draw for petri dish themed coasters 🧫😍 We've also brought our famous BUZZ wire game, with prizes for the 3 fastest times ⚡🏆 #EastMidsAMR #MicroSky #AMR #WAAW

Ok, it's finally here, the 1st #EastMidsAMR conference. Really looking forward to a day full of AMR talks, grant pitches, policy and networking. Hoping it goes well and allows us to be more cohesive in our approach to AMR research in the East Midlands

Excellent inititiative. Contact @dralhubb.bsky.social if you work in the East Midlands and want to join the AMR network.

Congratulations to Stephen Thompson (PhD), Rebecca Omoyemi Ojo (PhD), @bugsinyourguts.bsky.social and @jodywinter.bsky.social on their preprint combining transcriptomic (RNAseq) and phenotypic work to show the effects of menadione on Helicobacter pylori. #microsky

Fantastic to see so many of our masters students contributing to this work!

New preprint up from our group. Was very pleased to co-supervise this project on a Yersinia ruckeri plasmid & TA system - some excellent data from our @arom-ntu.bsky.social students! doi.org/10.20944/pre...

Our pangenome paper on Mycobacterium kansasii is out in MGEN today! In short: its split into 4 lineages and each is hella diverse! Way more work is needed on this pathogen but this is a great start from a great (and huge) collaboration www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/jour...

🚨New publication alert🚨First paper out from our group, and first first author paper for @bethjames.bsky.social. Really pleased to see this out Can we use collateral effects to determine the best antimicrobial regimens? We think we might... see 🧵below www.nature.com/articles/s44...

The utterly excellent @mwilde.bsky.social has been talking about AMR at Soapbox Science in Nottingham. Milli crocheted bacteria as props to demonstrate transmission in One Health. Very #ProudPI #AMR #WomenInSTEM
