I’m honored to be serving as the BMC Microbiology - AMR collection’s Guest Editor and eager to read your submission. Learn more about the collection and how to contribute: #BMCmicrobiology #AMR #genomics #CPE #CPPA #CRAb #MRSA #Resistance @BioMedCentral @springernature

Exciting new work is out now in @cmijournal.bsky.social: CefiderocolFinder: a tool for detecting genetic adaptations implicated in cefiderocol resistance www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

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.

“Tens of thousands of soldiers and nearly 14,000 civilians in Ukraine have succumbed to often grisly injuries from shelling, drone explosions & missile attacks. Survivors must contend with another, invisible threat: bacteria that are resistant to multiple antibiotics.” | via @knowablemag.bsky.social

Doctors and scientists are waging a shadow war in the besieged nation: bacteria that are resistant to multiple antibiotics. The deadly bugs are now knocking on western Europe’s door. ✍️ Richard Stone knowmag.org/3KxZcm3
