How can we use genomics to help guide new vaccines and control strategies for #klebsiella?
Check out this article to see how we are contributing- for me it's undoubtedly one of the most rewarding things we do!

Imagine carrying a baby to term only to lose it within four weeks to a severe bloodstream infection.
Every year, 1 million newborns (est) die of neonatal sepsis.
The most common cause is Klebsiella pneumoniae bacteria, which also afflict countless elderly and immunocompromised adults in hospital settings, causing pneumonia and blood and urinary tract infections.
Infectious Diseases researcher Prof Kelly Wyres @MonashSTM and @CentreImpactAMR is part of an international team led by @LSHTM, laying the groundwork for a vaccine that would target pregnant women, generating antibodies that would cross the placenta, protecting babies after they're born.
The @gatesfoundation is funding their work to support global genomic surveillance efforts, tracing different strains and infection patterns of K. pneumoniae and other bacteria that cause neonatal sepsis. Read more in Monash Lens.

1/ One of the most common mistakes in bioinformatics is the one-off error. If you are not careful, you will make mistakes. Even experienced bioinformaticians are not aware of it and the mistake prevails in many bioinformatics tools. A thread 🧵

(1/6) Our new short preprint, led by @helena_bethanyy and myself on incidental bacterial domestication between patient isolation and creation of frozen stock. Geno/phenotype changes are obscured by rich media and more prevalent than we previously thought

Really important data on determinants of hypervirulence in #klebsiella from Tom Russo and colleagues: tinyurl.com/5h9d457k
Highlights complexity of the hv pathotype and shows the impact of aerobactin varies by strain.
Check out our commentary below.
