Happy to see our latest study on nutrient competition in the gut published Nature Microbiology. A fun & collaborative Microbiology_ETH & Universität Zürich work involving very talented people. A big thank to the Swiss National Science Foundation, NCCR Microbiomes & EMBO Fellows for the support nature.com/articles/s4156…

We are running a massive online open course on AMR databases starting end of the month. Its completely free, study at your own pace and its ~15 hours overall over the 3 weeks (although you can finish any time in a year). Please spread in your networks! …erences.wellcomeconnectingscience.org/event/antimicr…

Really important data on determinants of hypervirulence in #klebsiella from Tom Russo and colleagues: tinyurl.com/5h9d457k Highlights complexity of the hv pathotype and shows the impact of aerobactin varies by strain. Check out our commentary below. Klebsiella Club

📣 New research: Using machine learning, IOI scientists have found 97% human Campylobacter infections in the US from 2009-2019 came from livestock reservoirs on contaminated meat. Read more on our website ➡️ ow.ly/rmJj50TkV28 Sheppard Lab Ben Pascoe


Excited to share this preprint where we’ve used genomic analysis of >3000 genomes to study Klebsiella pneumoniae in a One Health perspective 🦠🔬👩💻#OneHealth #KLEBGAP #KlebClub Iren Høyland Löhr @DrKatHolt NOR-KLEB-NET

(1/6) Our new short preprint, led by Helena Cooper and myself on incidental bacterial domestication between patient isolation and creation of frozen stock. Geno/phenotype changes are obscured by rich media and more prevalent than we previously thought biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Starting day 3 of #KLEBS2024 with a session on Genomics and Evolution with excellent presentations given by David Aanensen , Olaya Rendueles , melissa j martin , Ben Vezina , Anna Weber


Researchers are developing genomics tools to target Klebsiella pneumoniae, a major cause of deadly infections in newborns. Vaccines for expectant mothers could save thousands of lives each year. Kelly Wyres explains: mona.sh/6b2v50UrsV7 #MonashLens

How can we use genomics to help guide new vaccines and control strategies for #klebsiella? Check out this article to see how we are contributing- for me it's undoubtedly one of the most rewarding things we do! With @DrKatHolt Tom Stanton Theycallmemaggie + many others

I'm excited to announce our latest publication! We teamed up with Karthik Hullahalli to barcode Klebsiella and ask basic questions about bacteremia pathogenesis: 1) how are bacteria shared between sites and 2) which host and bacterial factors influence dynamics? nature.com/articles/s4146…
