🧪 Lab life question! What antibiogram methods do you use in your lab? 🔹 Disk diffusion? 🔹 MIC strips ? 🔹 Automated systems ? 🔹 Broth microdilution ? 🔹 Or something else? Let’s share and compare! 👇 #Microbiology #LabLife #AntimicrobialResistance #ClinicalMicrobiology #OneHealth

One of my favorite podcast 🫶 let's have a look 👀 next monday !

Are horses a reservoir for high-risk Enterobacter? 🐴🏥 Our new #Genomics study reveals the presence of human clones ST114 & ST171 in equine samples. Essential data for #OneHealth & #AMR monitoring. 📄 Read Harel et al.: doi.org/10.1371/jour... #MicroSky #VetSci @plosone.org @anses-fr.bsky.social

Reference genome choice compromises population genetic analyses - a problem for microbes too! Our lab is designing a tool to automatically choose references for input samples using features like phylogeny of reads to existing references. Any thoughts🤩? 🧪🦠🧬🖥️ #microsky www.cell.com/cell/abstrac...

The New Invasion - @fgravey.bsky.social presenting the epidemiology of carbapenem-resistant bacteria in Normandy, France

In France, despite medical biology contributing to 70% of medical diagnoses, a decreasing number of medical residents are choosing this specialty. However, dedicated teaching, presented in an engaging and interactive manner, has proven effective 😀 pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39991819/

Really agree with this post, amazing podcast, learned so much, thank you very much @cmicomms.bsky.social

Portrait of Otelia Cromwell, the first African American woman to receive a Ph.D. from Yale University, 1926, by contemporary US painter Jennifer Packer #WomensArt

Academically, I know there are massive problems with access to adequate antibiotics in LMICs, but looking at infection burden and sales of relevant antibiotics, this article estimates only 6.9% of CRGN infections are treated properly. Truly shocking.

I feel seen.

Really pleased to see our students doing their first oral communications at the rencontres normandes de microbiologie today organized in Evreux. Bravo Tarcila and Blandine ! @universite-caen.bsky.social @inserm.fr

Barry Blitt’s cover for this week’s issue, “The First Hundred Days.” #NewYorkerCovers nyer.cm/ysrCZ47

This morning with my team we talked about the @angelahuttner.bsky.social pilot program in @cmicomms.bsky.social journal in which some very relevant reviewers could be add in the acknowledgments or perhaps among authors ! At the unanimity, this is an amazing idea 🙂

Attendees can receive certificates for attending or presenting at #ESCMIDGlobal 2025. For more info, visit the congress webpage: ow.ly/sHfa50VzNO7 Please note, you can only claim credit points once, so be sure to claim them all at the end.

Thank you very much to @drneilstone.bsky.social for your very inspiring talk this morning about the scientific presence on social medias at #escmidglobal2025. You have been heard, this is my first message on Bluesky. Let’s see how it goes 🙂

New reserach The WHO Bacterial Priority Pathogens List 2024: a prioritisation study to guide research, development, and public health strategies against antimicrobial resistance www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...

Great talk by Ursula Hofer @hoferu.bsky.social, editor-in-chief of @thelancetinfdis.bsky.social, on #predatorypublishing. So many horrible things to learn. 😥 #ESCMIDGlobal #IDSky

Another great talk! @drneilstone.bsky.social discusses how social media can serve you & communicate your research! Some great slides breaking down an effective posting strategy! 🚀 #ESCMIDGlobal #IDSky #clinmicro
