Great to announce that we have developed a new plasmid typing scheme for A. baumannii. Thanks to @theycallmemaggi, @jkoong314, @DrKatHolt and Ruth Hall without whom this wouldn't be possible. Here, is the preprint biorxiv.org/content/10.110… and the database github.com/MehradHamidian…

New paper out in @npjAMR! We analysed >1,800 Ab plasmids, uncovered 150+ novel Rep types & expanded the APT scheme to 257 types, now pan-genus! A new framework for tracking Ab plasmids. Link: rdcu.be/exhQz #AMR #Plasmids #Acinetobacter @_liamtobin @theycallmemaggi

Just found this in my mailbox- a shiny commemorative pin from #USYD as a reminder of my PhD graduation 10 years ago this month! Yes, it’s been 10 years! Thank you @Sydney_Uni

New paper in Microbial Genomics! Amazing work by @Eradh_abusbaah & @_liamtobin and another great collaboration with @Fr_Lebreton & Patrick McGann. Here is the link: microbiologyresearch.org/content/journa… #AMR #Acinetobacter @AIMI_UTS

🚨 Very excited to finally say… 🚨 The story of Noodlococcus - the contaminant that started ContamClub - is available to read 📖🍜🦠 Check it out ➡️ doi.org/10.1101/2025.0… 1/15 🧵

📢ATT ASM NSW/ACT community! Our first Microbiology Mentoring Program is open now! Make sure you get in your mentee/mentor EOI forms in before the 6th June 2025! More information is on our website asm-nswact.org.au/mentoring/ and the flyer below 👇

Evolutionary steps of the multidrug resistant Acinetobacter baumanii MRSN56 sub lineage of GC1 nature.com/articles/s4425…

Just published in JAC! We characterised the genomic features of the multi-resistant A. baumannii global clone 1 reference strain RUH875 — one of the earliest known isolates recovered in 1984 and an important genome for tracing the evolution of AMR in Ab. academic.oup.com/jac/article/do…

Plasmids are commonly view as burdensome. But maybe this burden can be advantageous? Check out this new review paper from the lab that investigates this further!! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/bi…
