Very happy to see our new paper out in @PLOSPathogens! Interested in fungal infection dynamics? Have a read about cryptococcal dissemination from blood vessels in the zebrafish infection model #infection #zebrafish #microscopy @JohnstonLabs @phil1pingham

[PLOS Pathogens @PLOSPathogens]

During infective meningitis, Gibson et al. show that Cryptococcus can block small blood vessels, proliferate & cause vasodilation. Blockages can result in microbes being transported into tissues & infection being spread by vessels bursting. @josiepyrah

We got away with it! Dry but cold conditions. We enjoyed return of “The Puddle”. The first we’ve seen of it since our return. A big thanks, as always, to everyone who makes our event what it is. Here’s the link to today’s run report https://t.co/1sMprLf4ba

Our latest paper about the mechanism of antibiotic killing is now out! Another great piece of collaborative research @Laia_Pasquina @LafageLucia @JosiePyrah @AKTooke @ivvpanchal

Really excited to see our recent study in @PLOSPathogens!🎊We examined the mechanism of augmentation in S. aureus infection and found commensal bacteria protect S. aureus from ROS within macrophages, follow the link to read more! @GracePidwill @foster_lab

Remember when Alexander Fleming discovered penicillin in 1928? Now, almost 100 years later, we know how it actually works!

A team of researchers with @bmssheffield have discovered how these types of antibiotics work to kill the superbug MRSA.

Scientists in South Yorkshire have uncovered the precise way a type of antibiotic works to attack bugs, potentially paving the way for new treatments: https://t.co/B1wOp033lw
