Antimicrobial resistance doesn’t appear out of nowhere... it evolves. If we’re not watching, it spreads

At #nanoporeconf I shared how @nanopore sequencing detects early #AMR signals in hospitals - not just to track outbreaks, but to help prevent them

Please check out and RT this phenomenal effort from PulseNet Africa (a regional network of public health and affiliated labs dedicated to tracking foodborne outbreaks in Africa I am privileged to lead) to strengthen capacity for genomic surveillance of cholera 🎊🥳🎉

[gcb2025 @gcb2024]

@LaraUrban42 talks about antimicrobial resistance as #Health example in her keynote #GCB2024

[Inken Wohlers @InkenWohlers]

Inspiring talk by @LaraUrban42 @gcb2024, very happy to see @nanopore in action in fields relevant for lung research @FZBorstel. Liked the concept of using squiggle-based raw data directly for prediction using information beyond sequence and “standard” DNA and RNA modifications.

[Lara Urban @LaraUrban42]

On the day of my keynote lecture @gcb2024, thanks to my fantastic group for this month: @DanielGygax11 benchmarking @nanopore #Mk1d f Zambia; @harika_urel on AI & squiggles @gcb2024; @Albert_Perlas & Tim monitoring bird migration f AIV; @ElaSauerborn invited speaker #NCM Boston!

[Lara Urban @LaraUrban42]

Here now @ElaSauerborn getting ready for her invited talk at #NCM @nanopore in Boston. She will show how nanopore sequencing can surpass established clinical diagnostics for antimicrobial resistance profiling - work w @EFosterNyarko @LSHTM @Nick_Goldman @emblebi @TU_Muenchen etc.

New paper out in @PLOSBiology!
Two SNPs fully explain kākāpō color polymorphism, likely under balancing selection from extinct predators🦜🦅🧬
Great collab of many evol biologists, conservation scientists and physicists, led by the brilliant @LaraUrban42

Amazing week at the #EWDA2024 congress, where I had the opportunity to present our work using @nanopore for real-time AIV surveillance. Huge thanks to the organizers for such a great event! @EwdaStudent @LaraUrban42

[Oxford Nanopore @nanopore]

Ela Sauerborn is focused on enhancing the speed & accuracy of antibiotic resistance (AR) profiling.
At #nanoporeconf, she’ll discuss the advantages of #realrealtime nanopore sequencing & its potential to improve clinical decision making.

a new nanopore metagenomic study! Air monitoring by nanopore sequencing. We show that long-read sequencing can resolve species-level annotations and specific ecosystem functions through de novo metagenomic assemblies. #nanopore #metagenome

[Lara Urban @LaraUrban42]

"Air monitoring by @nanopore sequencing" has now been peer-reviewed by @ISME_microbes: https://t.co/uYXrM8HuA1
Huge congrats again to first authors Tim Reska & Sofya Pozdniakova and to the entire team @HelmholtzMunich @helmholtz_ai @ISGLOBALorg @DLR_en @TU_Muenchen!

Detecting Hidden #AntibioticResistance With Real-Time-Genomics 🔎

👏The novel method by Dr. @LaraUrban42, @ElaSauerborn & team @PioneerCampus, #HelmholtzMunich, & @TU_Muenchen offers new hope for more effective treatments against resistant #infections.

Good To Know💡
🌟Antibiotic resistance is a big challenge in #healthcare.

🌟The new findings demonstrate how real-time genomics can quickly & accurately identify antibiotic resistance, even in scenarios where traditional methods fail.

🌟Rapid, on-site sequencing enables healthcare providers to quickly tailor treatment strategies to the specific genetic profile of pathogens.

Again, thanks for everyone involved! @LaraUrban42, @EFosterNyarko, @Nick_Goldman and team! :)

[Ela Sauerborn @ElaSauerborn]

I am super excited that our paper is now also featured in the @NatureComms editors highlights for Microbio & ID papers! https://t.co/fCs8cV4Jux

[Lara Urban @LaraUrban42]

More news @HelmholtzMunich: @ElaSauerborn's pub was highlighted as one of the best recent @NatureComms Microbio/Infectious disease papers: https://t.co/PiRpouaCUY, Ela was invited by @nanopore to present it at #NCM24 #NanoporeConf & here our blog post: https://t.co/kJJ1FwYgFS

[Ela Sauerborn @ElaSauerborn]

and again thanks to everyone involved- especially to my PI @LaraUrban42 and my PhD co-supervisors/mentors @EFosterNyarko @Nick_Goldman

I barely finished high school.

Do good science and stop it with this weird hyper-productivity nonsense.

[Stefan O. Bassler @StefanBassler]

Great talk by @LaraUrban42 from @helmholtz_ai & @TU_Muenchen on using #OneHealth real-time genomics approaches to monitor antimicrobial resistance #EMBL50

[Ela Sauerborn @ElaSauerborn]

And I’m always open to feedback and exchanging further ideas, so feel free to reach out if you have any thoughts :)

[Ela Sauerborn @ElaSauerborn]

Excited that our paper is finally out! Many thanks to my PI @LaraUrban42 for guiding and pushing this project to the finish line and to everyone else involved especially my supervisors @EFosterNyarko and @Nick_Goldman!

[Lara Urban @LaraUrban42]

On a quick note from maternity leave: My group's publication on using real-time @nanopore genomics to enhance the accuracy of antibiotic resistance profiling in complex infections led by @ElaSauerborn @TU_Muenchen @HelmholtzMunich is now published: https://t.co/hDbA7yAIDP
