.@EllieRand3 (@harvardmed) etal developed a new targeted #Phage Discovery method based on multiple fluorescent markers, allowing for co-culture w/ multiple hosts & visualization of phages — no more selecting only for dominant phages in samples!

New action plan to tackle antimicrobial resistance (AMR) commits the UK to:
🔵 reduce use of antimicrobials
🔵 strengthen surveillance of drug resistant infections before they emerge
🔵 incentivise industry to develop the next generation of treatments

Called last night at 1am about an almost pan-resistant organism.
First time in ages since I've needed to remote in and review all the microbiology at night to formulate a plan.
I wonder if the rest of healthcare appreciates how common these organisms are becoming and the

#microbio2023: What an amazing science outreach project by @LindaOyama & great sharing of lessons learnt too. It didn’t involve slime (which children had come to expect as science), yet the children had so much fun, gained significantly and conducted valuable independent research

“You came to my school and told us bacteria were more interesting than most humans”. From one of our BiolSci students going on to an MSc. Getting students excited about ‘your’ field isn’t just about third year lectures, by that point you’ve missed the boat. – at Liverpool, England
