🚨 New paper alert! 🚨 We used complementary sensing approaches to study oxygen microenvironments in E. coli biofilm transport channels, which provided a spatial overview of how transport channels maintain chemical gradients in complex communities. doi.org/10.1099/mic.0.001543

🚨WE’RE HIRING!🚨 A Research Technician (2y) to join our team & work on exciting projects in bacterial evolution & gene regulation. Come join our growing, supportive Bacteriology Dept @uofglasgow.bsky.social ! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 #MicroBio25 #microsky @microbiologysociety.org Apply by 30th April: tinyurl.com/2z9z9kse

What a week! Grateful for the chance to share my recent work on #bacteria, #evolution, and #RNA at my first #MicroBio25 conference. As a new lecturer in the UK, it was an incredible introduction to the vibrant microbiology community here! @microbiologysociety.org

For those of you who approached me at @microbiologysociety.org #Microbio25 (and anyone else interested!!), this is your last chance to apply for our PDRA position. Come join us in Glasgow!

New paper from the group - here we show that aurodox prevents shiga toxin mediated damage in a murine model. Interesting changes to the microbiota too. Amazing work by @rebeccamchugh.bsky.social and the group. Paper here- rdcu.be/efW0K

Welcome to day two of #Microbio25! Make the most of the events on offer today by viewing the full itinerary - microb.io/Microbio25

It’s #Microbio25 and I will have a poster up today at A055! Come along and chat with me about Shiga toxin producing E. coli and differences in toxin expression levels

Ready for the first talks at @microbiologysociety.org 2025 annual conference. @samkaytucker.bsky.social #microbio2025 🦠

📣Publication alert! Another great output from @metagymomics.bsky.social for his PhD. Looking at strain level genetic variation within members of the vaginal microbiome. #microsky @pauldcotter.bsky.social @calumwalsh.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s41...

🏅 | @uofgsii.bsky.social's Professor Lilach Sheiner (@sheinerlab.bsky.social) was recently awarded the prestigious C.A. Wright Medal by the @bspparasitology.bsky.social for outstanding contributions to the discipline. Congratulations, Professor Sheiner! 🔗 Full story: www.gla.ac.uk/schools/infe...

Looking forward to reading this paper!

🚨 🧬 Updated preprint on the completed BASEL collection - what's new? Some fun with bacterial immunity and a new P22 relative infecting E. coli K-12. A thread 🧵

🚨We are hiring! A MRC-funded PDRA position to study novel anti-phage systems & their evolutionary dynamics in P. aeruginosa, in collaboration with @friendlymicrobe. If you are passionate about phage-bacteria interactions & evolution, apply now ! tinyurl.com/bddz4z44

Very happy to see this work published! We unveil a plasmid-chromosome crosstalk by showing that pOXA-48 encodes for a regulator that mediates the transcription of an enterobacterial chromosomal operon, resulting in a growth benefit for the plasmid-carrying bacteria! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

We are pleased to announce that ETOX 2025, the 22nd European Workshop on Bacterial Protein Toxins, will be held in Spain, June 29 - July 3, 2025. Registration opens on January 6. Apply here etox-meetings.org and join us for a great meeting! Please repost

Another great year working in the Roe lab and the bacteriology department. Happy holidays everyone!

We have created a University of Glasgow Bacteriology starter pack for infection and immunity researchers. We all share a mutual interest in understanding and reducing bacterial pathogenesis. Have a look at the link below! @uofgsii.bsky.social go.bsky.app/CJyjtir
