- Great to share the latest work from our group and collaborators. First CARRIAGE study paper led by @drdaggarwal.bsky.social and the heroic efforts of Katie Bellis and Beth Blane in the lab plus all the team at @cambridge-ceu.bsky.social Huge thanks goes to the 22,000 participants of the study
- People who persistently carry the bacterium Staphylococcus aureus have a much less diverse community of bacteria in their nose, while certain species may help keep it out. 🦠 These findings offer insight into who may be at higher risk of infection. 👇 www.sanger.ac.uk/news_item/la...
- Reposted by Ewan HarrisonReally pleased to share the first paper to come out of the lab. We found that hospital patients were frequently colonised with P. aeruginosa and that the same clone was shared between the gut and the lung. The phylogenies indicate that the clones moved from lung->gut www.nature.com/articles/s41...

- Happy to share our first preprint looking at the nasal microbiome in ~1000 healthy adults from the CARRIAGE study of 20,000 healthy blood donors to understand nasal colonisation by Staphylococcus aureus. Ten years in the making! doi.org/10.21203/rs....

- Our paper investigating the mutational landscape during Staphylococcus aureus during colonisation is out now rdcu.be//d55l3 @fcic.bsky.social @sangerinstitute.bsky.social @ibv-csic.bsky.social University of Cambridge @julianparkhill.bsky.social
- To understand the selective pressures that S. aureus experiences during colonisation, we analysed ~7000 S. aureus genomes from ~1500 individuals to identify protein altering mutations that were enriched.
