Happy to say I passed my PhD viva yesterday! Im so grateful for the most amazing 4 years. Special thanks to @RobFagan and Mike Brockhurst, the lab, and everyone who made the last 4 years so fantastic. Thanks also to my examiners @SmitsLab and @corrigar1 for a great viva! #PhDone

#Cdifficile is mainly treated with #vancomycin, so why is resistance not yet a problem? @BuddleJess @BrockhurstLab @RobFagan &co identify 2 resistance pathways that evolve rapidly but with fitness costs that could affect transmission #AMR #PLOSBiology plos.io/3YNHS1m
