@FEMSmicro is now on #BlueSky🦋!! Check out new publications (FEMS journals, including @microLifeJrnl ): @femsjournals.bsky.social Check out society, grants, events and awards news: @femsmicro.bsky.social #MicroSky #OpenAccess #Microbiology

Lovely day @CbiToulouse with our newest team members @Lili_Torres97 & Sara already working hard in our brand new lab. Check out the incredible blue sky 🔵 🦋🔵 in #Toulouse. It must be a sign!

Great Phages.fr meeting this year! Thanks to the 5 international speakers and the 130 participants. We ❤️#phages (Photo = sunset on the Sète beach).

Is antibiotic-resistant bacteria in 🇬🇧rivers a threat to public health? 💧🦠 This is what the #PooSticksStudy aims to understand but we need your help! We've been studying the gut microbiomes of #wildswimmers and are now looking for volunteers who don't swim in rivers, lakes, or the sea (though wild swimmers can still sign up!). 💩samples from non-swimmers are key to understanding how widespread these bacteria are among the British public. Interested? Request your kit now: bit.ly/poo-sticks Find out more: ecehh.org/news/poo-sticks-ri… Please share! The more people take part, the more confidence we can have in our findings. #waterquality #publichealth #AntibioticResistance #SewagePollution #sewage #ecehh #wildswimmeruk #wildswimminguk #universityofexeter #floodthestreets @WATERSHED_i @RuthTingay @MarkAvery @ChrisGPackham @MarkAvery @Ruth_Garside @WillHGaze @OxonAndrew @WaterWaysProtct @sewageuk @outdoorswimming @theAliceRoberts @UKAMREnvoy @Feargal_Sharkey @EnvAgency @EnvAgencyYNE @EnvAgencyMids @joymorrissey @natalieben @outdoor_swimmer @UniofExeter @uniofexeHLS @ExeterMed @ECEHH @UKHSA_London @UKHSA @UKHSA_London @UKHSA_NorthWest @UKHSA_NorthEast @sarker

Are you worried about 💩pollution in 🇬🇧 rivers spreading 'superbugs'? The Poo-Sticks project needs your help! This summer, we've been studying the gut microbiomes of river swimmers and are now looking for people who don't swim in rivers, lakes, or the sea. Your participation is key to understanding how widespread 💊antibiotic-resistant bacteria 🦠are among the British public. Are you interested in taking part? Do you know anyone who might be? There are 200 sample kits left.

I'm so happy to see the main part of my PhD work published in Cell Host & Microbe! We discover and characterise MADS (Methylation Associated Defense System) in its native host, a clinical isolate of 𝘗𝘴𝘦𝘶𝘥𝘰𝘮𝘰𝘯𝘢𝘴 𝘢𝘦𝘳𝘶𝘨𝘪𝘯𝘰𝘴𝘢 strain SMC4386

MADS, an anti-phage defense. @Alice__Maestri @Anne_Chev @edzewestra describe an innate immune system, MADS (methylation-associated defense system), that interacts with #CRISPR-Cas in its native host to provide strong & long-term protection against #phages cell.com/cell-host-microbe/f…

I survived my first conference! #Microbio24 @MicrobioSoc A great time in Edinburgh with the @UniofExeterESI crew!

Proudly representing the @UniofExeterESI at #microbio24! It was super fun, thanks to @MicrobioSoc and all the participants! @EmGoodall1 @aleksei_agapov @BenoitJPons @davvi36 @claudiamb98 @Joe_P_Westley

@BenoitJPons talks about the role of stress response in bacteria-phage interactions at #Microbio24

Stress response and phage resistance by @BenoitJPons @Multi_Defence @mi

#VoMUK2024 great talk by Benoit Pons @UniofExeter on the neat MADS, methylation based anti-phage RM system.

⏰ Don't miss out! Just one day left to secure your spot for next #iVoM3 session, exploring how scientists are working to translate fundamental research into successful #phagetherapy!

📣Major event alert! 📣 Mark your 📆 for 23 January, 10 PM CEST! Join the next #iVoM3 session to unravel the vital role of basic science in successful #phagetherapy. Let’s dive deep into the science that’s shaping phage therapy future! 🔬 Register here: vom2023.org/en

It’s a wrap! Thanks to all participants of the #spp2330symposium for their amazing contributions, the inspiring discussions & a fun social event.

We are Happy to have you here for the #vom2023

Very glad to be in Tbilissi for @vom2023! Looking forward to hear about latest advances in bacteriophage research!
