📣New preprint alert! We report the alarming finding that stringent response mutations found in clinical isolates increase the frequency of donation of multiresistance plasmids in S. aureus 😱 Great team effort @microclaire.bsky.social @paulrjohnston.bsky.social

📣 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: www.vacancies.st-andrews.ac.uk/Vacancies/W/...

Please share!

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

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

If any finishing-up PhD students or post-docs are interested in antibiotic tolerance and writing a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Postdoctoral Fellowship together this summer, please get in touch!

📣 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 🌍 @microbiologysociety.org

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