🚨 New in @eurosurveillance.org: Our investigation of an ongoing multi-country outbreak of Enterobacter hormaechei ST1344 carrying blaNDM-5 across seven European countries. Have you seen this clone? We'd love to hear from you. @aphendrickx.bsky.social #AMR #Genomics #Microbiology #outbreak

New ESGMAP opportunity...

New in Genome Medicine link.springer.com/article/10.1... Proud that ESGMAP supported this study, which shows why AMR surveillance must go beyond case counts and track MGE to understand the emergence and spread of MDR pathogens. Congratulations, Ana Santos and colleagues! #AMR #Plasmids #ESGMAP

Celebrating one year of incredible achievements! 🥳 Feeling incredibly humbled and proud of everything we've accomplished. This is just the beginning... #ESGMAP #Plasmids #MGEs #Celebration #Milestone #Journey

🧬 Can we track plasmid transmission in real-time? Find out in the next ESGMAP webinar as we continue the fight against AMR. ☀️Dr. Dag Harmsen presents "Real-time plasmid transmission detection pipeline" 📅 4 February, 12:00 CET 🔗 Registration required (link in comments)

Registration is now open ESCMID Postgraduate Course: Tracking Plasmids for Clinical and Public Health Use Copenhagen | 2–4 Nov 2026 Hands-on training in plasmid genomics for clinical microbiology, outbreak investigation & public health. 👉 Programme and Registration www.escmid.org/event-detail...

Plasmids are some of the most powerful drivers of AMR, and understanding how they evolve is key to staying ahead. Thrilled to co-chair this session with @aphendrickx.bsky.social as we welcome Dr. Daria Frolova for a deep dive into plasmid evolution and structural variation.

The series continues with another exciting talk! As a new study group, we're still building on our reach, so any help in sharing our webinars is truely appreciated! Thanks for helping us grow! 🧬

Remember to join our @escmid.bsky.social study group webinar tomorrow. Registration required. #ESCMID #ESGMAP #plasmids #webinar #series

🐘 In 2020, 35 elephants in Zimbabwe died mysteriously. Our new study in Nature Communications shows a Pasteurella-like bacterium with a unique mix of virulence genes - including toxins normally found in the meningitis bacterium Neisseria meningitidis. Genomics helped unlock this extraordinary case.

✨Célia Souque just showcased the outcomes of the 12th Microbial Bioinformatics Hackathon at IMMEM XIV. She brilliantly presented the first sneak-peek of PORT – Plasmid Outbreak Reporting Tool! 🧬 Looking forward to continuing this collaboration with PORT! #IMMEM #Hackathon #Plasmids #ESGEM #ESGMAP

The @escmid.bsky.social Conference IMMEM XIV was kicked off with a very exciting session on plasmids: "Plasmid typing for surveillance" 👉 Did you join the session? 👉 Share your key take-home message in the comments #ESGMAP #IMMEM #ESGEM #ESCMID #Plasmids

After a couple of intense days at Hackathon (playing with Plasmid stuff), we’re ready for the ESCMID (@escmid.bsky.social) IMMEM XIV conference co-organized by ESGEM (@esgem.bsky.social). Kicking things off with, for me, the most exciting session of the conference... #IMMEM #ESGEM #ESCMID #GMarkers

ESGMAP is now on LinkedIn and Bluesky! We published our first newsletter (lnkd.in/dUe43t8y). It introduces us, our mission, activities, and ways to get involved. Fill out our members' survey, and associate your publications with the group. Follow us for updates on the mobile elements and plasmids.

🚨Plasmid ALERT – new @eurosurveillance.org rapid comms! @ecdc.europa.eu-led study finds mosaic IncHI1B(pNDM-MAR) plasmid with blaOXA-48 + aerobactin in 492 K. pneumoniae isolates across 8 EU countries (2019–2024). First ESGMAP-backed paper: tinyurl.com/4acezh92 #AMR #plasmids #OneHealth #ESGMAP

🚀 Six months already? ESGMAP is growing strong – and we’re proud to share our second newsletter. Highlights so far: ✅ Growing community ✅ First publication ✅ Successful ESCMID Global 2026 proposals ✅ Support to the Plasmid Biology conference … and much more to come! Read it here 👇
