Why the sniff test can't protect you against food poisoning. It might tell you something in your fridge is "off" but it won't help prevent food poisoning. Quadram Institute group leader @MATTwGilmour sniffs out the food safety facts from fiction. theconversation.com/the-snif…
Consider joining @hall_lab and our #Listeria group to study the interplay of this foodborne pathogen with the health promoting #Bifidobacterium in a fully-funded PhD programme!

Listeria is a dangerous, invasive pathogen. @MATTwGilmour at the Quadram @NorwichResearch is using his expertise to understand the threat of Listeria outbreaks and create problem-solving tools.

I predict this will become a highly cited seminal review. Great new contribution from Andrew Rogers, @TsolisRenee and @abaumler on how Salmonella infiltrates the gut ecosystem

Today is also about acknowledging the pioneering #WomenInScience @TheQuadram. Dr Barbara Lund's work on Listeria in the 80's and her leadership, creativity and foresight continues to inspire us now, and makes our studies possible.

We particularly love Dr. Lund’s early work on the low-temperature growth of Listeria in the presence of spoilage organisms, using Listeria isolated from many food types that are now commonly implicated in outbreaks. #WomenInScience @TheQuadram

Listeria is one of the few foodborne pathogens where the true GI incidence is a mystery - largely because we only isolate it from invasive cases. This important study shows it is commonly found in the gut, and how this state might affect selection of Listeria’s virulence genes.
Excited to share our latest preprint. A very good read!!
Listeria monocytogenes faecal carriage is common and driven by microbiota biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
Made possible thanks to a productive collaboration involving @marcutxi, @LostInTranscrip, @Drkifrit and @atrmoura

The first seven large-scale NHS Vaccination Centres opened this week as the #COVID19 vaccination programme expanded.
Dozens more centres like this will follow so that large numbers of people can get vaccinated quickly.
Take a look inside some of them ⬇️

There is a new ‘variant’ clearly identified today, P.1. And it is worth saying a little about what we have learned about it, and from the variants we have identified so far virological.org/t/genomic-ch… 1/quite_a_few

We mapped how all mutations to #SARSCoV2 receptor-binding domain (RBD) affect recognition by convalescent polyclonal human sera (biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…).
Among implications: E484K (South African lineage) worrying for immune escape; RBD mutations in UK lineage less so (1/n).
