125th Anniversary Scholarships for Black British Researchers - Exploring Antimicrobial Resistance in the human GI Microbiome

University of Birmingham Institute of Microbiology and Infection

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a serious global health problem, which can lead to untreatable bacterial infections. AMR genes can be easily shared between bacteria on transmissible elements such as plasmids. Read more

A sticky situation; determining the interplay between gastric mucus and the gastric microbiota using pre-cancerous organoids

University of Birmingham Institute of Microbiology and Infection

The gastrointestinal tract is lined by a layer of mucus, which serves as a barrier separating the microbiota and the underlying epithelial cell layer (Paone and Cani, 2020). Read more

Understanding the transcriptional regulation of BK polyomavirus

University of Birmingham Institute of Microbiology and Infection

As obligate intracellular pathogens, viruses rely on host-cell machinery to facilitate their lifecycle. Nuclear-replicating DNA viruses are exposed to factors that can dictate the transcriptional output of the invading viral genome and ultimately influence infection outcome. Read more
