Closing off the presentation session @The_VIIN, @HelenIsInTheLab from @MonashBDI is talking about her very interesting research of how diabetes 2 (possibly!) blunts the immune response in mice, resulting in worse fungal infection outcomes.

A minimalist phage isolated from Wurundjeri Country is teaching us new things about incremental evolution toward new phenotypes. #mBio @LithgowLab @CentreImpactAMR @MonashBDI @KlebClub @KlebsPapers @TrevorLithgow journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128…

🚨Bacteriophages (phages) are viruses that prey on bacteria. This study sampled natural phage populations to test the hypothesis that untapped genetic variation within a population can be the basis for the selection to diversify the host-range of a phage. journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128…

Embracing minimalism - “owning only what adds value to your life” - this little #phage is revealing how to evolve new traits for host-killing without acquisition of new genes. Isolated on Wurundjeri country, in a very cool partnership @MonashBDI journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128…

Did you know that today, October 22nd, is World Phage Day?
This day also marks the beginning of World Phage Week (October 22nd-28th), dedicated to raising awareness about the life-saving potential of #bacteriophages.

Today is World Wombat Day!
On the theme of Treaty, collective strength and wombats, can anyone tell us the collective noun for wombats?

A truth rarely appreciated … @CentreImpactAMR #AMR

#Antimicrobials are used to prevent, treat and control infections in humans, animals and plants. The overuse and misuse of antimicrobials across sectors lead to antimicrobial resistance, posing a threat to healthcare systems, livelihoods and economies.
Read our latest research, the EcoAMR reports, which explores the devastating impacts of #AMR on people, animals and economies and the actions available to #StopSuperbugs.
