This is just great to see. The ~1/3rd of UK BioBank with GP data already shows the utility but going across the entire dataset will allow far more insights - a reminder that UK BioBank participants have generously consented for their data to be used for research outcomes.
UK Biobank@ukbiobank.ac.uk · 6mo ago✅ The UK Government has today granted access to half a million UK Biobank participants' coded GP data for health research. This change will dramatically increase the power of UK Biobank's dataset to advance the diagnosis, treatment and management of conditions handled by GPs.

Absolutely stoked to have this published in @plosbiology.org We looked at the metabolism of #Klebsiella pneumoniae 🦠🧫. We not only demonstrated lineage-specific #metabolism, but that lineages can cross-feed and support each other. journals.plos.org/plosbiology/... #MicroSky #microbiology 🧬 🧪 💊
A metabolic atlas of the Klebsiella pneumoniae species complex reveals lineage-specific metabolism and capacity for intra-species co-operation
Why are there so many co-circulating Klebsiella pneumoniae clones? Using genomics and large-scale metabolic modelling of >7000 isolates, this study identifies structured, clone-specific metabolic spec...

Intrinsic resistance pathways & #ResistanceBreaking. Study shows that inhibiting efflux pumps & cell envelope biogenesis sensitizes #bacteria to #antibiotics, but rapid evolutionary recovery may limit long-term effectiveness of resistance-breaking strategies #AMR @plosbiology.org 🧪 plos.io/4huAtvo
So happy to share this! Bacteriocins were first discovered over 100 years ago, but what do they actually do? We look at >1000 bacteriocin plasmids and find links to virulence and antimicrobial resistance, and frequent bacteriocin sharing in Enterobacteriaceae. www.nature.com/articles/s41...
Bacterial warfare is associated with virulence and antimicrobial resistance - Nature Communications
Bacteria employ a range of competition systems that deliver toxins to inhibit competing strains. This study shows that these systems are particularly important for the ecology of virulent and antibiot...

🚨 New paper out on @narjournal.bsky.social. Many thanks to everyone involved, especially the project leader Professor @katholt.bsky.social and the wonderful #AMRnet team: @msmicrobiocode.bsky.social, Vandana Sharma, Mary Maranga, Ebenezer Foster-Nyarko, Megan Carey academic.oup.com/nar/advance-...
AMRnet: a data visualization platform to interactively explore pathogen variants and antimicrobial resistance
Abstract. Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) poses a substantial threat to global public health. Whole genome sequencing is increasingly used as a core method

Erik Simões - So proud my friend! Saving lives in deep Amazon. We should buy more planes. Amazon Sentinel!
The importance of a preserved environment is a source of food, clean water, spirituality and health.
After 1 hour by plane and 3 hours by boat and a walk! They arrived to vaccinate indigenous people in remote areas. Eric, you are fantastic... only those who live this reality up close know the size of this effort.
A huge thank you to all involved - especially members of the Global Typhoid Genomics Consortium, @katholt.bsky.social , @meganecarey.bsky.social , @louisecerdeira.bsky.social, and Vandana Sharma!

I miss my grandparents, born in Barcarena, a town near Belém in the Amazon, of humble origins. They earned their living from harvesting crops from sunrise to sunset and sailing from river to river to pay for my father and his brothers' studies. What drives my research? My roots!
Absolute gold-standard work here. For your #Acinetobacter and #Klebsiella needs, upgrade to Kaptive 3 today! 1) More accurate capsule predictions on poorer quality genomes 2) Sets a precedent for how to build a systematic and robust capsule database 3) ~1 second per genome
Tom Stanton@tomstantonmicro.bsky.social · last yr.Super excited to finally present the preprint to accompany Kaptive 3 which we released last year! Big thanks to coauthors @kelwyres.bsky.social, @katholt.bsky.social, @genomarit.bsky.social and Iren Löhr. Here's what we did to improve in silico antigen typing 👇🧵 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
Made some slides for scientists to talk about what's been happening & what we should do next. There are probably many people better qualified than me to talk about these issues. If that's you, please, please, please consider holding some virtual advocacy training sessions for researchers this week.

No romanticism! Helping those most in need, combating the advance of AMR, neglected tropical diseases, pollution, climate change will be fights in which I will act as a nature warrior using my scientific knowledge, IT, AI, data integration and renewable energy.
