Pleased to see this pre-printed, highlighting the completeness/accuracy of @nanoporetech.com long-read genome assembly for clinical Enterobacterales: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Thanks to colleagues @modmedmicro.bsky.social, @ukhsa.bsky.social, @genewiz.bsky.social and @oxfordbrc.bsky.social!

Job opportunity for microbial genomicists interested in E. coli and Klebsiella infections and AMR 👀⬇️ - do get in touch if you might be interested! Closing date 7th Oct.

Great new opportunity to work with #Liamshaw and @mutantbug.bsky.social as part of our HPRU collaboration (www.expmedndm.ox.ac.uk/research/hpr...) - sinks, phages, wastewater genomes, novel threat detection bit.ly/45Wcv6I - deadline 14th Sept 👀

More evidence to support best practice "water-safe" care in healthcare facilities is urgently needed. If you're interested please tap into the @hisinfection.bsky.social Wastewater and AMR Special Interest Collaborative (SPARC) - see you there!

More discussion about the JHI study with @emrsa15.bsky.social in the Infection Control Matters podcast series infectioncontrolmatters.com/2025/04/02/t...

This builds on the SinkBug group's earlier work in @thejhi.bsky.social www.journalofhospitalinfection.com/article/S019... where we showed that sink infrastructure in hospitals was common, highly varied, and that antibiotics were detected in a third of sink-traps.

New analysis from Kevin Chau @modmedmicro.bsky.social for the SinkBug Consortium (a collaboration with teams across 29 UK hospitals, NITCAR, UKHSA): Pathogen and AMR gene burden in 287 hospital sink-trap metagenomes and factors associated with high burdens.
