🌟 Huge congratulations to @GloxThera, a BIA member, for securing £1 million in grant funding from the PACE-AMR initiative! 👏 #AMRweek
This funding will accelerate the development of their precision #antibiotics, harnessing bacteriocins to combat drug-resistant bacteria.
With #AntimicrobialResistance #AMR posing a growing global health threat, this breakthrough couldn’t come at a more crucial time.

👏So proud of this achievement!
Distinct bacteriocin profiles emerged between E. faecium and E. lactis with species-specific adaptations. Hospital E. faecium were enriched in enterocin A, bacteriocins 43 (or T8) and novel ones.
We need more strain-level bacteriocin studies!
📢Exciting new insights into bacteriocin diversity in enterococci!🦠
We built a bac database and identified key bacteriocins potentially driving hospital adaptation.
A promising avenue to combat high-risk clones! 💥

Excited to share that we partner with the @IVIHeadquarters @LSHTM & Gyeongbuk Institute for Bio Industry (GIB) to advance our glycoconjugate vaccine development of affordable #StrepA vaccines for all! #glycotime - Thanks to the @righfund for funding! @UoDLifeSciences – at Dundee, Scotland
Dr Helge Dorfmueller @helged80 is leading a £2.3m project to develop the world's first vaccine for Strep A alongside experts from London and South Korea.
Read the @BBCScotlandNews story about the work & the effects of Strep A on local families.

It took some years but it is finally available 🙌
Since my PhD, we've been exploring connections between bacteriocins and plasmids. Now, we've taken a significant step forward. Take a look 👇
🙌Preprint of an extensive bacteriocin database tailored for E. faecium is available at @biorxivpreprint.
