Last week our team had the opportunity to showcase their work at the annual @ukbiofilms.bsky.social summit in Cardiff! 🥳Well done to PhD student Abbie Johnson winning the prize for best presentation! @livunisps.bsky.social

A logic gate to release antimicrobials from deep within silicone medical devices in response to temperature and pH indicators of microbial presence - super cool talk from Yuri Diaz Fernnandez from @livuniopenhub.bsky.social at #Biofilms11 #MicroSky (Image: pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1...)

Now at #Biofilms11, @liam-rooney.bsky.social is showing us how mesolens imaging (large field of view + high resolution) reveals macrocolony biofilm structure, and can be combined with other sensing techniques to track metabolites like O2 #MicroSky (Image: www.spiedigitallibrary.org/conference-p...)

Some biofilms are dry, not hydrated: Gordon Ramage & collaborators used repeated cycles of wetting with media, then drying, to culture dry surface #biofilm of Candida auris to explore how they persist and tolerate antimicrobials #Biofilms11 #MicroSky (Image: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...)

Excellent talk by Darla Goeres at #biofilms11 in Cardiff! Come join our cost action and help improve biofilm standards! www.cost.eu/actions/CA23... #microsky

How did I miss this paper? @ronanmccarthy.bsky.social lab screened nosocomial bugs for plastic-degrading enzymes, reasoning that they've been selected for this ability. They found a P. aeruginosa enzyme that efficiently degrades plastic #Biofilms11 #MicroSky (Image: www.cell.com/cell-reports...

👏Well done to PhD student Abbie Johnson for her flash presentation at #biofilms11! There's still time to check out her poster #116 in the last poster session! @ukbiofilms.bsky.social @microbiologysociety.org @livunisps.bsky.social #microsky
