(1/6) Our new paper is out! We compared two sets of environmental metagenomic data, one from a hospital ward, and one from a companion animal veterinary centre. Thread below explaining what we found 🧵⬇️ mdpi.com/2079-6382/15/6/568

(5/6) Results: There were significantly more total resistance gene types in HH than VH samples. There was a significantly higher mean number of Enterobacteriales plasmid types in the HH samples. There were significantly more total Gram-Positive plasmid types in the VH samples.

(6/6) Discussion: This highlights the presence of human and animal pathogens, ARGs and MGEs in clinical environments. Taxonomic, resistome, and mobilome analyses provides a better understanding of the potential for AMR dissemination at the human–animal–environment interface

Hello! 👋The OHRIGAME project aims to understand the fate of antimicrobial drugs in poultry productions in South-East Asia and transboundary movement of AMR and antimicrobial residues in meat. We're multidisciplinary, integrating studies from biological and social sciences!

Our objectives in Vietnam:
-Evaluate #AMR in chicken gut
-ID reasons for high level of drugs in meat, eggs, chicken feed and water
-Relate to chicken AMR profiles
-Use questionnaires to understand farmers’ motivations for under-reporting
-Alignment with Vietnamese NAP for AMR

The #CCMBucketHat headed to the Republic of Congo in January with @LinzyElton to run a 16S sequencing workshop and attend the CATCR steering meeting at la Fondation Congolaise pour la Recherche Médicale (FCRM) in Brazzaville! It's first trip of 2026 and it made a new friend 🦍👀

TB is an increasing problem in certain areas in the UK, often due to migration from endemic areas. It's curious that all cases appear to be latent, but better safe than sorry... bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cgl8…

The #CCMBucketHat was in Lithuania last week with @LinzyElton & @DallasRoulston when they visited @NVSPL1 to run a workhop on using @nanopore for surveillance of pathogens and #AMR, #metagenomics of wastewater and #16S for clinical samples! Thanks to the team for hosting us!
