Thrilled to share the final project from my PhD, now published 🙌🏻 Here we describe the high-level intra-host diversity of ST80 VREfm carriage in Irish hospital patients 🇮🇪 highlighting distinct vanA transposon iterations 🧬 Check it out below 👇 doi.org/10.1093/jacamr…

Vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium (VREfm) is a growing global threat! Our new review in explores its resilience, adaptation, and the urgent need for novel strategies. #AMR #VREfm

📝New review in the lab! @anaasantos96 et al. dive deep into the epidemiology, resistance mechanisms and adaptive traits that make Vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium a persistent challenge in healthcare. 👉Link to the article: sciencedirect.com/science/articl… @UCIBIO_Research

The human gut can really take it all! Thrilled to share that our paper is finally published!

👏New paper by @anaasantos96 et al. ending the year! We assessed Enterococcus spp. diversity in healthy adults finding: 🔍VVE 🔍linezolid-resistant strains 🔍E. lactis increase since 2001 🔍Species-specific bacteriocins inhibiting VRE journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/ae… @UCIBIO_Research

Successfully defended my Ph.D yesterday 🥰 Very grateful to my supervisor Prof. David Coleman and my wonderful colleagues in the Microbiology Research Unit in Dublin Dental University Hospital for an incredible experience over the last four years! Ph.DONE!! 🤣

👏So proud of this achievement! Distinct bacteriocin profiles emerged between E. faecium and E. lactis with species-specific adaptations. Hospital E. faecium were enriched in enterocin A, bacteriocins 43 (or T8) and novel ones. We need more strain-level bacteriocin studies!

📢Exciting new insights into bacteriocin diversity in enterococci!🦠 We built a bac database and identified key bacteriocins potentially driving hospital adaptation. A promising avenue to combat high-risk clones! 💥 @ASMicrobiology @UCIBIO_Research journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/ae…

The ever amazing @art_egorov in our group has made a new visualisation tool for comparative genomics. Makes particularly beautiful images of phages, plasmids, other MGEs or regions of prokaryotic genomes 😍 biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh…

Excited to share another piece of work from my PhD 🙌🏻 Here we describe the long-term cross-institutional CT-specific dominance of ST80 VREfm lineages in Irish hospital networks 🇮🇪 indicating environmental persistence and potential unidentified reservoirs. Check it out below👇
