📰 The UK's largest ever real-world study into RSV vaccination has confirmed that babies born to vaccinated mothers are up to 85% less likely to end up in hospital with an RSV chest infection. Thanks to all the NHS health professionals who deliver this vital programme 👏

Text explains this is the largest study of maternal RSV vaccination, covering 90% of births in England between September 2024 and March 2025Adult gently kissing a baby’s cheek in an outdoor setting. Text explains that babies born to mothers vaccinated against RSV during pregnancy were up to 85% less likely to be hospitalised with an RSV chest infection, especially when born at least four weeks after vaccination.Close-up of a baby sleeping in a hospital cot. Text highlights research showing high protection for premature babies when there is at least a two‑week gap between maternal vaccination and birth

AI folks now having to realise what GWAS folks did about studying bacterial genome datasets. Great work by great researchers

#MachineLearning methods are used to predict #AntimicrobialResistance #AMR from genomic data. @lbarquist.bsky.social &co show that sampling biases driven by population structure severely undermine the accuracy of AMR prediction models even with large datasets @plosbiology.org 🧪 plos.io/4iZ0zXQ

Bacterial population structure and clade-specific sampling affect machine learning predictions of antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Top: An illustration of defining clades for genomes in one species. R: resistant (triangles), S: susceptible (circles). Bottom left: An example of training scenarios for scheme B based on the clade splitting in shown above. Models were trained on all samples except for resistant or susceptible samples from one clade. The held-out genomes from the same clade were used as the test sets. Bottom right: The precision and recall scores for scheme B; a-random and b-random indicate testing on random train-test splits of the pathological unbalanced data.
