Just back from @campyuk2025.bsky.social ✨ My first time co-chairing a session, presenting part of my PhD on Campylobacter, making new connections & even bringing home a prize ♥️ 10/10 experience, a lot of inspiration. #PhDlife #onehealth #epidemiology

Prof Andrew Grant is giving the final talk of #CampyUK2025 detailing Tradis libraries, AMR and antibody based therapy 🧬🧬 @microbiologysociety.org @ineosoxford.bsky.social @biology.ox.ac.uk a big thank you to those who organised and attended the conference 🫶

Our afternoon session is focussing on advances in Campylobacter biology. Abdi Elmi explained that C. coli and C. jejuni can recognise and coexist with each other, forming distinct physical boundaries 🚧🧫 #CampyUK2025 @microbiologysociety.org @ineosoxford.bsky.social @biology.ox.ac.uk

Carrying on the Peru studies, Kerry Cooper details the introgression of RE-cmeB gene from C. jejuni into C. coli. This gene is involved in multi-drug resistance and found more commonly in commercial chickens 🐓🇵🇪 #CampyUK2025 @microbiologysociety.org @ineosoxford.bsky.social @biology.ox.ac.uk

Ben Pascoe @benizao.bsky.social @sheppardlab.bsky.social shining a light on C. coli - although less common than C. jejuni, it has higher levels of AMR. His work in Peru highlights the importance of this pathogen in LMICs due constant exposure with backyard livestock and antibiotic use 🇵🇪 #CampyUK2025

Our fantastic @sheppardlab.bsky.social DPhil student Madison Goforth gives us a global overview of Campylobacter source attribution and the spread of AMR 🌎💊🌎 #CampyUK2025 @microbiologysociety.org @ineosoxford.bsky.social @biology.ox.ac.uk

#CampyUK2025 organiser Dr Fran Colles @fran-co001.bsky.social outlines findings from the soon to be published PATH-SAFE report - Campylobacter cases and fluoroquinolone resistance are on the rise, with most of these infections coming from chickens 🐓💊 @sheppardlab.bsky.social

Keynote speaker Prof Dave Kelly is providing us with some Campylobacter biochemistry for the first talk for day 2 of #CampyUK2025 ⚛️🧪 @microbiologysociety.org @ineosoxford.bsky.social @biology.ox.ac.uk

Genomic epidemiology of Campylobacter in England and emergence of invasive Campylobacter ureolyticus in England @ukhsa.bsky.social @campyuk2025.bsky.social @amydouglas.bsky.social

Panel discussion time - what are the current and future Campylobacter challenges? Speakers from the Food Standards Agency, British Poultry Association, University of Reading and Christian Medical College 🗣️🗣️ #CampyUK2025 @microbiologysociety.org @ineosoxford.bsky.social @biology.ox.ac.uk

Final talk of the day from the fabulous Marian Dawkins representing @ox.ac.uk . Interdisciplinary methods tell us that chickens infected with Campylobacter behave differently to those which are not 🐓‼️ #CampyUK2025 @microbiologysociety.org @ineosoxford.bsky.social @biology.ox.ac.uk

@microbiolocris.bsky.social presents her findings of C. jejuni ST-52 emergence and survival from farm to fork in the Danish food chain 🍔🍴 #CampyUK2025 @microbiologysociety.org @ineosoxford.bsky.social @biology.ox.ac.uk

Are antibiotics a dead parrot? 🦜Prof Aidan Taylor kicks off the ‘From farm to fork’ session discussing Campylobacter AMR and vaccine development 🧫💉 #CampyUK2025 @microbiologysociety.org @ineosoxford.bsky.social @biology.ox.ac.uk

Another speaker sponsored by @microbiologysociety.org , Prof Sitara Ajjampur talks about age and exposure to infected poultry in backyard chicken flocks as determinants of Campylobacter infections in children in rural south India 🐓🇮🇳 #CampyUK2025 @ineosoxford.bsky.social @biology.ox.ac.uk

Really fascinating talk - very excited to hear more about the anti-N-glycan vaccine approach but it sounds very promising!

Keynote spotlight: We're thrilled to welcome Professor Christine Szymanski (University of Georgia) to #CampyUK2025 in Oxford! She’ll be sharing insights into the Campylobacter glycome and its role in persistence and disease. 📅 Sept 24–25 🔗 campyuk.web.ox.ac.uk/speakers#col...

@sheppardlab.bsky.social collaborator Francesca Schiaffino, sponsored by @microbiologysociety.org explains patterns in persistent Campylobacter infections in LMICs, using data from Peru to investigate complex long-term carriage 🐓🇵🇪 #CampyUK2025 @ineosoxford.bsky.social @biology.ox.ac.uk

Luka Jurinovic details the EpiCGulls project - turns out gulls really love landfills which influences which C. jejuni clonal complexes they have. See why they are an important component of Campylobacter transmission from wild birds to humans at www.epicgulls.com #CampyUK2025

Our very own @sheppardlab.bsky.social DPhil candidate Amy Douglas representing the @ukhsa.bsky.social giving us some Campy stats 🤩🤩🤩 #CampyUK2025 @ineosoxford.bsky.social @biology.ox.ac.uk

Fascinating talk from keynote speaker Dr Christine Szymanski about how Campylobacter jejuni has evolved to colonise and survive the breastfed infant gut #CampyUK2025 @ineosoxford.bsky.social @biology.ox.ac.uk

A warm welcome from the head of @biology.ox.ac.uk Prof Martin Maiden and a thank you to our sponsors @microbiologysociety.org, Don Whitley Scientific and @genewiz.bsky.social

And we’re off! Excited for a day full of all things Campy. The Sheppard lab @sheppardlab.bsky.social welcomes everyone to CampyUK, the first conference in the new Life and Mind Building @ox.ac.uk
