📢Our review of the impact of bacterial purine synthesis on antibiotic tolerance and resistance expression is now out! A lot of food for thought and contrasting data from E. coli and S. aureus... 🤔

📣 We're hiring! We have a 12-month vacancy for a Postdoctoral Research Fellow with skills in molecular microbiology. See the details and apply here: vacancies.st-andrews.ac.uk/Vacancies/W/43… Please share!

Such a fun way to spend a Friday afternoon! 🏎️ 🏆 @DeventerAshley (aka Daniella Ricardo) was victorious, with @microclaire a close second. What should we do for our next lab outing?!

It's out! The final peer-reviewed version of our paper on Prs-mediated tolerance in S. aureus COL is now published in Molecular Microbiology. Read it here! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/mm… Congratulations @microclaire!

📢 The Journal of Medical Microbiology is looking for Editors for the Antimicrobial Resistance section! No prior editor experience required, so it's a great first gig for an ECR. And you get subsidised attendance at the annual meeting. Open to applicants worldwide🌍 @MicrobioSoc

Made it to Heidelberg! Excited for 4 days of talks - never seen so many talks on tolerance at one meeting! #EESDrugresistance @EMBLEvents

Really looking forward to my first GRC (if I get a spot)!🤞

Pls share: Postdoc position in microbiology with a focus on antibiotic heteroresistance

Has anyone placed an order with the E. coli Genetic Stock Center lately? Are they still functioning? I can't get anyone to respond to my emails and there's no phone number! 🤔

📢 New preprint alert! @microclaire @DeventerAshley @StAndrewsBSRC Staphylococcus aureus COL: An Atypical Model Strain of MRSA that Exhibits Slow Growth and Antibiotic Tolerance biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

So this is what my team gets up to when I'm away! 😆😍🧝🎄

Another PhD opportunity in the team! This time its an exciting collaboration with @hall_lab and @kim_hardie looking at why not all bacteria become resistant! findaphd.com/phds/project/w… Deadline 10th Jan and open to Uk and overseas! Pls RT!

Great day of talks @BSACandJAC Antibiotic Resistance Mechanisms Workshop! And now these two get to present their posters @microclaire @DeventerAshley 👏🦠🧫

@McCarthy_Ronan @BSACandJAC @friendlymicrobe See you soon!

Very excited to be co-chairing the @BSACandJAC Antibiotic Resistance and Mechanisms conference with @friendlymicrobe Looking forward to 2 days of great talks and networking

Last call! Abstract submissions for Annual Conference 2025 will close on 12 November at 23:59 GMT. Abstracts from members and non-members are welcome. Share your work at #Microbio25! Submit your abstract now: microb.io/4eLdpWt

Funded PhD studentship available in my lab collaboration with @luke_allsopp and @janedaviescf. Get in touch if interested. Please RT findaphd.com/phds/project/p…

One very proud supervisor here😊 @DeventerAshley did an incredible job of explaining antibiotic tolerance to non-scientists during her TEDx talk last night 👏

This worked for me - twice!

Deadline to submit an abstract and avail of the early bird registration for the BSAC Antibiotic Resistance and Mechanisms workshop is this Friday. Always a great meeting with lots of opportunities for ECRs! bsac.org.uk/antibiotic-res…
