A new APC paper published in Gut Microbes emphasizes that bacteriocin thuricin CD is narrow spectrum unlike antibiotics fidaxomicin and vancomycin for their potential use as Clostridioides difficile infection treatments.

New APC Review posted in @NatureRevMicro explores the diversity in bacteriocin structure and function, identification and optimisation methods and the reasons behind the lack of translation beyond the laboratory of these potentially valuable antimicrobials https://t.co/JJf3LCqCtZ

Well done @hibashareefdeen for giving a fantastic talk at todays School of Microbiology Seminar Series PhD Speaker Event!✨It was great to hear about all the creative ways to isolate phages🕵️‍♀️ and the influence of phages on bacterial community structure in the gut!

Bacteria and their viruses are the most abundant members of the gut microbiome.

.@colinhillucc & colleagues explore factors affecting variation of the human gut phageome:

Well done to @UccMicrobiology students @MrDavidHourigan @Tobin__Ciara @Lauren_Walsh13 @MoniCazza3 @hibashareefdeen @ellen_murrr who all presented their work at #FEMS2023 in Hamburg this past week!

[Ciara @Tobin__Ciara]

Really enjoyed discussing my recent work on tail fibres of a crassvirales phage at #FEMS2023 🦠

Every virologist thinks they have the prettiest virus in their lab . Here is the beautiful crAss001, solved by Cryo-EM in a collaboration with Oli Bayfield and Fred Antson in York @UniOfYork. @Pharmabiotic @UccMicrobiology @AShkoporov @scienceirel
