We have recently joined LinkedIn and would love to connect with you! Give us a follow to join our network and learn about what we do to better understand gut pathogens, their virulence factors and how they interact with the host to cause disease 🦠🔬

There is a major lack of microbial/music parody stickers. Thankfully I'm here to change that!

In NICUs, time is of the essence for neonatal infections. Handheld @nanopore sequencers can detect & type outbreaks faster & more accurately. This technology can help Health NZ/@TeWhatuOra save lives when it matters most!

(1/6) Our new short preprint, led by @helena_bethanyy and myself on incidental bacterial domestication between patient isolation and creation of frozen stock. Geno/phenotype changes are obscured by rich media and more prevalent than we previously thought
