Dr Greta Zaborskyte’s talk on Klebsiella pneumoniae biofilm & its evolutionary trajectories was super interesting! Particularly grossed out by the slide showing the thick strings of biofilm on the pegs of her model 🤢🥴 #EuroBiofilms2024 ESGB ESCMID

Fauve Vergauwe uses machine learning & differing analytical tools to predict the antibiotic susceptibility of experimentally evolved Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilms! V. cool, V. thorough 🤩 #EuroBiofilms2024 ESGB ESCMID

Nice to see some exploration of bacterial adhesion in the context of host GAGs & how this modulates biofilm formation ☺️ Reminds me of my S. pyogenes biofilm-pharyngeal cell glycan PhD days! Enjoyed this talk by Dr Leanne Cleaver :) #EuroBiofilms2024 ESGB ESCMID

Super proud of Arthika Manoharan for her fantastic talk on the immunogenicity of the biofilm matrix in P. aer biofilms in the context of the urinary tract environment 🥹😌 Represented University of Sydney /Australia really well at #EuroBiofilms2024 👏🏽 Slay 💅🏽 ESGB ESCMID

Excellent #Eurobiofilms2024 talk from my student Binbin Xia on the importance of superoxide, a potent reactive oxygen species in plasma-activated water. ‼️ Highly effective at eradicating E. coli biofilms! ⚡️💧🧫👏🏽 ESGB ESCMID …Read more about it 😏📄

At #Eurobiofilms2024 & want to hear about plasma…?! …Not blood plasma… The spicy antimicrobial water type for revamping topical antiseptics to treat biofilm-infected chronic wounds 😎⚡️💧🧫 Come check out my poster today after lunch :) ESGB ESCMID

Attending #ASM2024? Check out my poster (#109) tonight! I’ll run you thru the stress responses that are evoked in E. coli biofilms during treatment with ✨Plasma-Activated Water✨ a fancy new technology capable of eradicating pesky microbes! ⚡️💧🧫 #ASM2024_XAward ASM

Day 1 #ASM2024: 👩🏽‍🏫Successfully presented my poster w. lots of engagement, discussion & collab interest 💰Secured intrigue of potential Biofilm SIG sponsors 👥Connected w. new & pre-existing research colleagues/pals ✨Grabbed some cool merch Slay 💅🏽 #ASM2024_XAward ASM

#EDI Panelled with the best - Prof Dena Lyras, Rochelle Soo, & Sam Manna! V. interesting & open discussions on pertinent/interrelated topics: childcare, LGBTQIA+, neurodiversity, & PoC/WoC experiences in navigating Micro/STEMM & beyond! #ASM2024 #ASM2024_XAward ASM

It was a real pleasure to be a panelist on this discussion of equity, diversity and inclusion in STEM at #ASM2024

New Post-Doc Role Unlocked 🔓🚨 ✨ Excited to announce that I have commenced the next part of my Cold Plasma-Microbiology/Biofilm journey at Uni of Adelaide in the lab of Dr Katharina Richter 🧫⚡️💧💜👩🏽‍🔬

📢Antibiotic efflux pumps in archaea contribute to antibiotic resistance. Excited to see this work published in npj Antimicrobials and Resistance led by former PhD student Dr Asma Fakhoury and Thomas Thompson QUB Pharmacy School great collaboration with Prof Miraz Rahman Drug Discovery Research Lab KCL rdcu.be/dPMmU

Towards improved biofilm models rdcu.be/dQf4Z In this Perspective, Rumbaugh and Whiteley explore the advantages and limitations of current medical biofilm models and outline a framework for quantitatively assessing model accuracy. Kendra Rumbaugh Marvin Whiteley
