Niche #microsky question: if you have a Cerillo microplate reader in a shaker, how reliable is it? Do you have issues with OD reading stability? Would you recommend if there are issues with false high OD due to aggregation? Pls share! Thanks!

At the #SalgadoLab festive lunch, @pav2601.bsky.social@bsky.brid.gy gave us a nice challenge: "what are you looking forward in 2026?" From conferences, new papers, new funding 🤞, we all realised there's lots to be excited about! So, #sciencesky #microsky what are you looking forward in the New Year? 🧪

Great work, beautiful structures and really interesting new insights into #Cdiff toxin inhibition. Congratulations to all! #microsky

The #SalgadoLab has now officially moved into @cbcb-newcastle.bsky.social! Thank you to amazing lab members Anna, Ella and Pavi for making it happen and @henrikstrahl.bsky.social Kasia, Charles, Tom, Amandeep, Julie and everyone at CBCB! Looking forward to working closely with everyone! #microsky

It was a fantastic talk and real pleasure to discuss a new collaboration with Mark! #microsky

Instead of flashcards, we Rube Goldberg’d this with #Bioconductor ! Analyzed 3,280 E. coli genomes from NCBI, detecting ESBL genes in 84.4% of samples. CTX-M-15 was most common. Helped us understand gene nomenclature and sequence analysis! 📊🔬

I do hope one day we'll be able to move phages beyond a tantalising promise to knowing if and how they can be part of our antibiotic arsenal #IDSky #ClinMicro #AMR #MicroSky @bsacandjac.bsky.social academic.oup.com/jac/advance-...

Interesting paper this - sounds like much more to come on the microbiome effects of ibezapolstat - effects look significant vs those of vancomycin. Will be interesting to see if in any way this accelerates recovery of C diff colitis and prevention of recurrence #IDSky #ClinMicro #MicroSky
