Oh my microbiome!

Pilots well underway for our DFAT funded OneHealth #AMR project in Hanoi - #SAPPHIRE

@who.int critical and high priority #BPPL pathogens abound in wet markets, even carbapenem screening plates are loaded.

Watch this space!

Hello scientists of Bluesky - I'm keen to speak with Australian researchers affected by the Trump administration's impact on science.

If you've received a questionnaire from a US agency, or your work has been affected by cuts or funding freezes to US science orgs, I'd love to hear from you.

In Singapore for FAST-IC investigator meeting.

First walk around the beautiful botanic gardens in years 😍! Then down to work..

Excited to get started & contribute to assessment of Fosmanogepix for candidaemia at Westmead.

Fungi Fight Back - a great talk from Lars Westblade on his experience with fungal #AMR.

Come for the fungal talks, stay for the bagel jokes.

Right!

Emerging from wonderful 3 week break and thinking about return to work.

Who’s got tips for making that both painless and productive?!

πŸš€ Just published, our review of direct antifungal drug delivery approaches for invasive fungal infections.

Evidence is still limited, but trials are underway. Extra options, fewer side effects, better patient outcomes πŸš€

Nice paper - tricky case. Patient w COVID-19 isolated for 7 months, impacting rehab.

Rules and interpretation of tests were too rigid for lung Tx patient, long after IPC threat had passed.

Authors @priyagargiddoc.bsky.social @alyssapradhan.bsky.social et al offer some solutions!
Prolonged COVID-19 shedding in complicated lung transplant patient - a tricky case for us to navigate at the time! Interested in whether de-isolation policies have since changed at other centres? #IDSky #TxID @alyssapradhan.bsky.social
