Die bisher wenig untersuchten Nicht-tuberkulösen Mykobakterien (NTM) können schwere Lungeninfektionen & Lymphknotenentzündungen verursachen & sind schwierig zu behandeln. Am FZB werden Mechanismen untersucht, die zu der Bildung von Resistenzen bei diesen Bakterien führen. #WAAW24
Nice and productive visit of colleagues from CERMEL (Gabon) in Borstel for training in tNGS and WGS of M. tuberculosis strains and discussion of TB sampling progress within the PANGenS project. @PANGenS2023@FZBorstel@CERMEL_Gabon
📌Day 3/5: Session 1 was on an “overview on Biobanking” delivered by Mathurin Diatta (The Biobank manager @mrcunitgambia )
He lectured on the types and organization of Biobanks, sample management systems, sustainability plans, emergency preparedness, advantages of Biobanks.🤝
We are running a massive online open course on AMR databases starting end of the month. Its completely free, study at your own pace and its ~15 hours overall over the 3 weeks (although you can finish any time in a year). Please spread in your networks! https://t.co/n6LU8VDeTw
Wetzstein, Diricks and coll. provide a first comprehensive clinico-genomic characterisation of 610 isolates of the #Mycobacterium avium complex from Germany and continental Europe.

🥳🥳🥳Herzlichen Glückwunsch! @stefan_niemann vom @FZBorstel zählt zu den meistzitierten Köpfen in der Mikrobiologie. Das ergab eine Publikationsanalyse der Jahre 2013-2022 in der aktuellen Zeitschrift @Lab_Journal: ▶️https://t.co/q2ql6mFpsv @LeibnizWGL
It was a pleasure to join the inauguration meeting of the Leibniz lab "Pandemic preparedness" in Berlin! Looking forward to contributing and collaborating to better deal with future pandemics! @FZBorstel
Our first NTM paper of the year is officially out! :D https://t.co/wgpAUcFWAD
--> Genomic diversity and clinical relevance of Mycobacterium simiae. Including an interesting case of a patient chronically colonized for over 14 years. @FZBorstel@NTMinfo@NTM_papers@ntmnet
