New paper by @vbrunner.bsky.social looking at detecting rifampicin resistant subpopulations in M. tuberculosis infections using genetics and putting a lower limit on the proportion that arose due to secondary infections. bit.ly/47rwf42 @modmedmicro.bsky.social @oxfordbrc.bsky.social

🔔🔔Post-doc in microbial genomics with @modmedmicro.bsky.social🧬 - deadline tomorrow! Big genomic and clinical datasets to play with, friendly and very multidisciplinary team! my.corehr.com/pls/uoxrecru...

Our recent paper on rifampicin resistant subpopulations in M. tuberculosis (M. tb) has been published at JAC-antimicrobial resistance. I am really happy to see this work published just hours before submitting my DPhil thesis! 🔗👇 doi.org/10.1093/jaca...

We have a fully funded PhD studentship available @modmedmicro.bsky.social in Oxford to work on a really cool project looking at population heterogeneity in bloodstream infections www.ndm.ox.ac.uk/study/dphil-... Please spread the word/get in touch if you'd like to chat.

Now published in @natcomms.nature.com 🎉 www.nature.com/articles/s41... With Gillian Rodger, @nstoesser.bsky.social, @samlipworth.bsky.social, @stat-sarah.bsky.social, and many others!

More evidence to support best practice "water-safe" care in healthcare facilities is urgently needed. If you're interested please tap into the @hisinfection.bsky.social Wastewater and AMR Special Interest Collaborative (SPARC) - see you there!

More discussion about the JHI study with @emrsa15.bsky.social in the Infection Control Matters podcast series infectioncontrolmatters.com/2025/04/02/t...

This builds on the SinkBug group's earlier work in @thejhi.bsky.social www.journalofhospitalinfection.com/article/S019... where we showed that sink infrastructure in hospitals was common, highly varied, and that antibiotics were detected in a third of sink-traps.

New analysis from Kevin Chau @modmedmicro.bsky.social for the SinkBug Consortium (a collaboration with teams across 29 UK hospitals, NITCAR, UKHSA): Pathogen and AMR gene burden in 287 hospital sink-trap metagenomes and factors associated with high burdens.
