It was a huge pleasure to be asked to talk to the The Lancet Microbe podcast about our recently published SpyCATS study in Gambia MRC Unit The Gambia at LSHTM Listen here: buzzsprout.com/1794195/151295…. Paper here: thelancet.com/journals/lanmi…

A great primer on strep A vaccines. Good to see Jacob's team investing in this 'neglected' space. And thanks for the shout out Jacob Trefethen !

This one took a while to write, but I couldn't resist. It's time. blog.jacobtrefethen.com/strep/

Fantastic presentation by Amanda Wilkins on the need to move to Vanc auc monitoring in young infants #espid2024 as both efficacy and toxicity correlate with this. ESPIDSociety

Excellent talk by Amanda Wilkins on using electronic medical record reports to identify antibiotic allergies in kids based on prescription patterns #espid2024 ESPIDSociety #drugallergy

Our newest preprint is online! Upsurge of iGAS in the Netherlands in 2022/2023 dominated by emm1, particularly M1UK. Analysis of over 350 carriage isolates pre/post pandemic show this is not a reflection of increased carriage rates or carriage of emm1. medrxiv.org/content/10.110…

Great opportunity to join Mark_Davies_Lab with whom I work very closely.

Be involved in cutting edge bacterial genomics studies such as these recently published.
