We've enjoyed a week of advanced bacterial phylogenetics training @Uniibadan as part of our #DEGAiN - Deep Enteric Genome Analysis in Nigeria initiative, during which bioinformaticians in our team learned alongside peers from all over the continent…/2

“incomplete plasmid reconstruction from short-read hinders full knowledge about plasmid.” Excited to share with you our paper https://t.co/kmIGRvueON. With short and long reads we infer clonal and plasmid transmission. All thanks to my supervisor @SandraReuter9 for her mentorship

[Ifeoluwa, PhD @Ife_Akins]

@zoemasterpiece Yes 😂

[Cheryl P Andam @CheAndamMicro]

Thrilled 😁to 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

[Odion @odionikh]

Very happy to see this work in print @NatureComms. We used a combination of classical microbiology, whole genome sequencing and bioinformatics tools to describe epidemiology of invasive Klebsiella pneumoniae archived as part of routine surveillance form a medical centre. 1/2.

@iruka_okeke @GBerg_ubt @Anderson_nose Congratulations Dr @anderson_ose 👏🏽

[Bernd Neumann @DrNeumannB]

Great talk of @SandraReuter9 about sharing plasmids in #klebsiella. Take home message: "plasmids are complicated" (but fascinating). #dghm2024

We visited the International School Ibadan today to educate the secondary school students on Antimicrobial Resistance.
As expected, they had very intriguing questions which we answered.

Exciting opportunity to do a PhD on AMR dynamics of chronic P. aeruginosa infections with me at @sangerinstitute and Prof Craig Maclean @UniofOxford. Mainly bioinformatics but opportunities to combine with wet-lab

Congratulations once again @bioinfo_erkison and yes! Dr Erkison was one of my tutors in bioinformatics, etc. while I was in @iruka_okeke lab. This I could say was one of the reasons I am able to fit in where I am today. Thank you! I wish you all the best in the next phase 🤗

[Iruka Okeke @iruka_okeke]

Today @bioinfo_erkison defended his PhD @uni_copenhagen after working there & with us on resistant #Acinetobacter in Nigeria. Project wascosupervised by Anders Dalsgaard & I, with a lot of input from some fab collaborators.../2

@Ayorinde_Afo @SandraReuter9 🕺🏻 Congratulations 🥳

"🎉 Birthday wish granted! 📚 My latest paper, born from the @SandraReuter9 lab, just hit the shelves. Explore how three tenacious Klebsiella pneumoniae lineages ruled the roost in a Greek hospital for a whopping 15 years! 🏥🧫 - https://t.co/rRJnkKzAdC

[Wellcome @wellcometrust]

The possibilities of genomic sequencing are huge.

The technology can unlock the secrets of disease prevention, dispel myths around disease outbreaks, and allow governments to act in real-time.

Prof @christian_happi, @acegid explains more in the latest episode of our podcast ⤵️

[Ifeoluwa, PhD @Ife_Akins]

@runhuahan Hi, for our type of research, we prefer to pool quite a number (multiplex) and sequence for its maximum time after which we wash the flow cells and return.

For the wash,We don’t do anything extra, we just follow the wash protocol.

[Ifeoluwa, PhD @Ife_Akins]

🕺🏻FRIDAY! in Reuter’s lab. I am glad the *GridION* spots are fully occupied. The good thing is that analysis is set to start automatically and we have major results before the next working day 😉 😁@Ayorinde_Afo @HirenGhosh @Stef_A_M @SandraReuter9 @nanopore #WGS #multiplexing

[Odion @odionikh]

What have you heard about Coagulase-Negative Staphylococcus spp. (CoNS)?
Our recent paper https://t.co/X0TuW7DZrI in Nature's @CommsBio investigated the propensity of these opportunistic pathogens to frequently exchange genetic materials in geographically linked diseased animals

Congratulations to @iruka_okeke from the University of Ibadan, Nigeria for winning the Peter Wildly Prize 2023, for making an exceptional contribution to expanding access to Microbiology and genomic research to increase creativity! #Microbio23
