- Reposted by Ed FeilBacteria chromosomes contain Genomic Islands that provide virulence, antibiotic resistance, MGE-defence,... They transfer between cells, but the mechanism of most remains elusive. Here we explore the conjugative capacity of these mysterious Genomic Islands. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...
- It has been a long road, but our paper on Klebsiella plasmids is finally out in Lancet Microbe. Thanks to all co authors but especially Marjorie Gibbon and Natacha Couto www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
- These plasmids have emerged through hybridisation of co-circulating plasmids carrying either resistance or virulence genes. ‘Convergence’ may be a common phenomenon even in ‘One Health’ settings. Variation in these plasmids is also structured according to geographical and ecological source.
- Reposted by Ed FeilI have an MRC-funded PhD project available (www.exeter.ac.uk/study/fundin...) on how warming will change the problem of AMR. Join a small and friendly group (padpadpadpad.netlify.app/about) in (sometimes) sunny Cornwall. 🧪🦠 #microsky Please share the ad below with anyone who may be interested.
- Reposted by Ed FeilMutations generate variation, critical for #evolution, but #MutationBias restricts the choice of mutation type. @deepaagashe.bsky.social &co use #Ecoli strains with different mutation biases to show that changing an old bias should yield more beneficial mutations @plosbiology.org 🧪 plos.io/46LjCRt

- Reposted by Ed Feil🧪 Finally out after peer review, our work showing that "Mobile #Integrons carry Phage Defense Systems" is now published in Science 🎉 Short 🧵 www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
- Reposted by Ed FeilAntimicrobial effects, and selection for AMR by non-antibiotic drugs in a wastewater bacterial community by @aprilhayes.bsky.social, @edfeil.bsky.social, @willhgaze.bsky.social, @profjrsnape.bsky.social, @ecehh.org et al. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
- PhD on C.diff epidemiology with me and Barbara Kasprzyk-Hordern to join the new centre cwbe.ac.uk @bathchem.bsky.social www.findaphd.com/phds/project...
- The website for our new centre of excellence in water-based early-warning systems for health protection is now live : cwbe.ac.uk follow us at @cwbe.bsky.social
- Reposted by Ed FeilI'm advertising a PhD studentship (open to international students) on understanding how temperature may alter the ecology and evolution of AMR. Might suits someone with a microbiology/wet lab background who wants to expand into ecoevo. Or vice versa! But interest more important than experience.
