GlobalGBSseq

JUNO is a @gatesfoundation funded project that aims to sequence 10k global Group B Streptococcus strains to inform on intervention strategies.

@JunoSeq has partnered with collaborators from all over the world to sequence & analyse 10 000 #groupBStrep #bacteria at the @sangerinstitute to help us gain a deeper understanding of the biology & inform on treatment intervention strategies #Genomics https://t.co/zgw9bjcf9D

Exciting news! Our Brazilian JUNO partner @LabPinto just published groundbreaking research on long-term co-circulation of host-specialist and generalist GBS lineages in dairy cattle, revealing diverse antimicrobial resistance profiles. Read it here: https://t.co/hFg2tN76IZ

It’s a great collaboration with Dr. Shaper Mirza, @imran_nisar and Dr Sadia Shakoor.

Huge congratulations to my mentored @NidaJavaid_. It’s one of the achievements after series of social distanced meetings during the pandemic. Well done!

Excited to share the news that our recently published systematic review, evaluating the molecular epidemiology of the non-pregnant GBS population, is now accessible via this link (https://t.co/iBMp3LM8bK). Thanks to all collaborators for your indispensable contributions.

Dr. Uzma Khan gave a fascinating talk describing the genomic mechanisms driving antibiotic resistance in the global GBS population on the first day of ISSAD. Well done! 👏🏻

ISSAD Day 2: Clayton Jisuvel is giving a talk showing association between vaginal washing and GBS colonisation.

Don't miss Dr. Uzma Basit Khan's poster session on "The distribution of potential vaccine targets in global GBS population" today at ISSAD in Rio from 11.30 to 11.40 a.m, if you want to learn more about the vaccine (under development) coverage in the global GBS population.

[GlobalGBSseq @JunoSeq]

On Day 2, @Dorota Jamrozy gave us an intriguing update on the JUNO study, the global epidemiology, and the population structure of the GBS.

On behalf of the #JUNO_project, Dr Dorota Jamrozy is presenting the global collaboration on GBS genomics at #ISSAD23 @IssadOrg @StephenBentley5 @sangerinstitute @SangerPathogens funded by @gatesfoundation

[Jane Plumb 💙 @JanePlumb]

Day 2 of #ISSAD2023 and Dorota Jamrozy is updating us on the @JunoSeq project, and the global genomic epidemiology of #groupBStrep. Fascinating.
