PhD; Interested in bacterial population genomics, evolution, genomic epi, antibiotic resistance, horizontal gene transfer. E. coli self-portrait in banner pic
Years ago while I was weighing the offer of a faculty job here a very senior British scientist in my field sniffily told me โTheyโll never give you tenureโ
But that turned out to be one of their less good predictions, and I am now not only a full professor - but with tenure
Thrilled to share our new paper on Listeria monocytogenes in New York in collaboration with NY Dept Health! Most from blood, CSF. We found diverse lineages, intrinsic & mobile AMR & virulence genes, persistence across geographical & temporal scales @odionikh
Ikhimiukor and coll reconstruct the population genomic structure from 936 Listeria monocytogenes isolates throughout a two decade surveillance program in NY, identifying long-term persisting clones driving the local infection dynamics

Super happy that our recent paper on bloodstream Klebsiella is featured in @NatureComms Editors' Highlights in Microbiology and Infectious Diseases https://t.co/RWlrphRl1W
Thrilled ๐to share our new paper from the lab on Klebsiella pneumoniae genomics from bloodstream infections, IncF plasmids & ESBL. With Isabella Martin (Dartmouth) @odionikh@sr_stephanie@NatureComms

New work from @sr_stephanie @Joshuaureus @CheAndamMicro et al. published last week in @npjAMR on lineages of #Staph aureus causing bloodstream infections and their roles in #resistance ๐ฆ ๐๐ฅ

New first-author paper out on @npjAMR. Genomic evaluation of S. aureus from bloodstream infections over 12 years. ST8 took place over ST5 at some point. The rise of ST8 associated to a very clonal population with same genetic background. 1/3

New findings published in #mSphere provide important insights into the underlying genetic basis for the success of S. aureus as a highly adaptable and resistant pathogen. @CheAndamMicro https://t.co/tuikWB7iIO
Successful session on HGT (or the origins of hopeful monsters) organised with @CheAndamMicro at #SMBE2023. Thanks again to our wonderful speakers: @goyoiraola@Lucy_Weinert Talia Karasov, Hรฉloรฏse Muller & Fanny Mazzamurro!
Happy to share our new paper @iScience_CP! We use an agent-based model to study cooperation in a public goods game. We show that homologous recombination provides a mechanism to enforce cooperation in bacteria
