For anyone looking for a good source re: rumours of increased covid severity among children ahead of school openings, here is the Royal College of Pediatrics’ response: rcpch.ac.uk/news-events/ne…

We mapped how all mutations to #SARSCoV2 receptor-binding domain (RBD) affect recognition by convalescent polyclonal human sera (biorxiv.org/content/10.110…). Among implications: E484K (South African lineage) worrying for immune escape; RBD mutations in UK lineage less so (1/n).

Sequence data as of 6th January from COVID-19 Genomics UK (COG-UK) Consortium now available in Microreact: beta.microreact.org/project/nMxeoQ… Now featuring a choropleth map layer where samples have been grouped by county and coloured using a scale based on number of sequences from the region. 1/3

There is a new ‘variant’ clearly identified today, P.1. And it is worth saying a little about what we have learned about it, and from the variants we have identified so far virological.org/t/genomic-char… 1/quite_a_few

The first seven large-scale NHS Vaccination Centres opened this week as the #COVID19 vaccination programme expanded. Dozens more centres like this will follow so that large numbers of people can get vaccinated quickly. Take a look inside some of them ⬇️

Listeria is one of the few foodborne pathogens where the true GI incidence is a mystery - largely because we only isolate it from invasive cases. This important study shows it is commonly found in the gut, and how this state might affect selection of Listeria’s virulence genes.

We have a new NRPDTP joint studentship with Food Standards Agency available in the Matt Gilmour lab! Study the genetic changes in Listeria biofilms as they adapt to biocontrol efforts in food factories. Apply by 25th Feb: ow.ly/Dmw950DfjN4 #PhD

I predict this will become a highly cited seminal review. Great new contribution from Andrew Rogers, Dr. Renee Tsolis and Andreas Baumler on how Salmonella infiltrates the gut ecosystem Salmonella versus the Microbiome mmbr.asm.org/content/85/1/e…

What is the interplay between a classic commensal and a prototypical pathogen? Come study with Hall Lab and our group Quadram Institute in our exciting new joint NRPDTP studentship! Applications for 22nd Nov.

We are very proud of the leadership opportunity to apply science to food safety challenges as a community built with food industry, government, and food researchers. More info to come!! Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Food Standards Agency Quadram Institute

The leadership team is growing for our network on microbial risk and food safety - please contact me if interested!

Consider joining Hall Lab and our #Listeria group to study the interplay of this foodborne pathogen with the health promoting #Bifidobacterium in a fully-funded PhD programme!

Why the sniff test can't protect you against food poisoning. It might tell you something in your fridge is "off" but it won't help prevent food poisoning. Quadram Institute group leader Matt Gilmour sniffs out the food safety facts from fiction. theconversation.com/the-sniff-test…
