Dentists prescribe ~10% of antibiotics in human healthcare but are rarely active in national #OneHealth #AMR action plans. They are important in preventing infections. Access to (urgent) dental care can prevent infections and reduce unnecessary antibiotic use.

I made this two-floor, collapsible, magnetized set for a DnD encounter! Complete with LED torches, glowing mushrooms, and a trap floor! It was a tight encounter but great to play! Outside of being a scientist, terrain making is a fantastic creative hobby! #DnD #Roleplay #Mini #Terrain #Hobby #Paint

An interesting list! The oral diseases-associated bacteria S. mutans and P. gingivalis feature in the top 25- such important microorganisms to study!

leaving most species unstudied."

As a microbiologist in the oral microbiome space, I fully agree 😅
Microbiome science needs more microbiologists- A new commentary authored by myself and @abaumler.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s41...
Microbiome science needs more microbiologists - Nature Microbiology
Microbiome science is a multi-disciplinary field, but classical microbiologists are needed to ensure advances are grounded in our understanding of basic microbiological concepts.

Some recent confocal microscopy of our mock oral #bacteria as they begin to form #biofilms! Each species is fluorescently stained before being mixed together. Biofilms are found everywhere, from animals to aquatic ecosystems to #soils. #Academicsky #Art #Microbes #SciArt #SignaBoost #AcademicChatter
