🌟 Huge congratulations to @GloxThera, a BIA member, for securing £1 million in grant funding from the PACE-AMR initiative! 👏 #AMRweek
This funding will accelerate the development of their precision #antibiotics, harnessing bacteriocins to combat drug-resistant bacteria.
With #AntimicrobialResistance #AMR posing a growing global health threat, this breakthrough couldn’t come at a more crucial time.

👏So proud of this achievement!
Distinct bacteriocin profiles emerged between E. faecium and E. lactis with species-specific adaptations. Hospital E. faecium were enriched in enterocin A, bacteriocins 43 (or T8) and novel ones.
We need more strain-level bacteriocin studies!

Very interesting discovery! Streptomyces produce large narrow-spectrum protein antibiotics.
Umbrella toxin particles produced by Streptomyces block mycelial growth of competing species https://t.co/xjlMBlRqlp
Massive well done to @ElmiraMohit (in the Tap Tpg cap) who passed her PhD yesterday. Thanks to examiners @DanWalkerLab and Ricardo Del Sol! Who doesn't love linear chromosomes?
