Are microbiome alterations common effects of #SARS-CoV-2 infections and #COVID19? Do they manifest in asymptomatic-til-moderate infections? Check out our latest bioRxiv on the altered *infective competence* of the gut #microbiome in #COVID19. 👉 doi.org/10.1101/2022.1…

Having fun at the bench!

Had a lovely Christmas dinner with Mathew Stracy lab last night. Both our labs are growing! Ben Cooper Carolin Kobras 🎓♦️🐍🐍 LauradeNies Anju Kaur

Go, LauradeNies, go! So great to see her being awarded the uni.lu Doctoral School in Science and Engineering Excellent Thesis Award 2022! Well deserved! 🍾🎉👏 Microbiomes in One Health Luxembourg Centre for Systems Biomedicine Luxembourg National Research Fund (FNR)

It is such a privilege and a pleasure to watch my former co-conspirator and partner-in-crime being awarded for her #hardwork and #perseverance. Well done LauradeNies 🥳🎉🥂.. The first of many!! No pressure 😉

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR), the ‘silent pandemic’ is omnipresent. Even ChatGPT has an “opinion” about #AMR’s prevalence in pristine environments, such as glacier-fed streams (GFSs).

#ClimateChange is real. Some of its effects are more apparent than others. We set out to study how #ClimateChange affects microbial community stability by unraveling the role of microbial #cross-domain interactions on the stability of 🧊 stream biofilms👉 biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh…

If you want to learn more about how the pathogenicity of the gut microbiome changes in asymptomatic-to-moderate #COVID19 individuals, have a 👀at recent work by LauradeNies and Valentina Galata 🕊️ 👉microbiomejournal.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11… BMC

📢Out today, our #review on the “Reservoirs of antimicrobial resistance in the context of One Health” highlighting the need to understand directionality of #AMR. 👉sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Ah, nature is healing

Super proud of this! The first milestone of my PhD published in Microbiology Society Microbial Genomics 🥳🥳

Happy to share our review on antibiotic-induced collateral damage to the microbiota and associated infections: rdcu.be/diyaC.

Excited to share our review on "Antibiotic-induced collateral damage to the microbiota and associated infections" is out!! 🦠🥳 rdcu.be/diHKj Mathew Stracy Carolin Kobras 🎓♦️🐍🐍

Applications now open for funded DPhil positions in the Dunn School! Come join the lab to work on minimising the spread of antibiotic resistance within the gut microbiome. path.ox.ac.uk/study-with-us/…

Microbiology practical classes finished this week Dunn_School (now @DunnSchool.bsky.social) Thanks everyone including great services team and demonstrators!! 12 hrs of hands on work/160 students/over 3 weeks. DRG and Kan enjoying mobile bugs!

Happy 2nd birthday to the Mathew Stracy and Isom labs! We celebrated yesterday for 12 hours, with laser tag, bowling, and many hours in the pub. 2 years has flown by! Thank you to everyone who has made the Dunn_School (now @DunnSchool.bsky.social) so welcoming and to our lab members for being so fun to work with

That was fun! I had the pleasure today to present my work on gonococcal plasmids at Microbiology Society conference #Microbio24 Thanks for the stimulating questions and discussions afterwards!
