@UL @QUBelfast @HSEMidWest research looking at #AMR and specifically at the menace that is OXA-58. Gene transfer is one thing, but understanding expression of the gene in new host bacteria and its impact is another. Worth a read! doi.org/10.1093/lambio…

@UL @QUBelfast collaborative research using a very elegant molecular system to evaluate mechanisms of antimicrobial resistance with genes recovered from clinical bacterial isolates. This is an All-Ireland collaboration that works brilliantly

Really interesting about Mycoplasma carriage. Makes the epidemiology of it nigh on impossible
MYCOPLASMA PNEUMONIAE

This cheeky little intracellular bacteria seems to be up to mischief with kids in the USA at the moment

A quick thread on this bug, what's going on, and what to do (or not do!) about it

I rarely share family matters, but my father who meant so much to me is no longer with us. I did my best to honor his essence and philosophy in a short eulogy

Our very own powerhouse @YvonneCYoung delivering her very personal and powerful story of her son Flynn who developed Sepsis. A key message to HCWs of listening to our patients and parents a ‘ignore at your peril’ 🚨🚨#sepsis2024 @NationalQPS @HSEMidWest @StJohnsHospLmk
