Presumptive melioidosis case in a Florida horse- now published. wwwnc.cdc.gov/eid/article/31…

Melioidosis, a deadly disease, is being fought by @UF's Dr. @TuanyokLab & Pacharapong Khrongsee. They’ve developed ΦPK23V1, a phage therapy targeting resistant strains, a breakthrough for treatment & diagnostics. 🌟 ➡️ ufinnovate.technologypublisher.com/techcase/MP250…
We have contributed to this newly published LAMP assays for Burkholderia pseudomallei and B. mallei through the collaboration with Hokkaido University in Japan. nam10.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%…
PhiPK23v1 phage has the highest specificity to Burkholderia pseudomallei ever reported. frontiersin.org/journals/bacte… @UF_CVM_IDI @UFVetMed @UF_EPI
Our IDI departmental seminar went well today. I talked about AMR issues in melioidosis. This semester we have 20+ students enrolled.

One phage paper from our group was accepted for publication in Frontiers in Bacteriology today. This work was funded in part by DTRA and the UF Emerging Pathogens Institute frontiersin.org/journals/bacte… @UFVetMed @UF_CVM_IDI @UF_EPI
Did you know? Dr. Marta L. Wayne, the dean of the International Center, holds office hours for faculty, staff, and students to discuss your ideas and global plans. 💡 Please schedule your visit with [email protected]. You might even enjoy some cafecito! ☕
Check out our review paper describing how activation of superinfection exclusion mechanisms can affect the fitness of bacterial populations and possibly improve #PhageTherapy. mdpi.com/2924908 #phage #AMR #antimicrobialresistance #antibiotics
Dr. Moore is amazing! This is going to be a great talk for whoever is fortunate enough to make it!
New seminar alert! 🚨 Join us on Monday, Aug. 26 for a seminar with Dr. Julie M. Moore of @UFVetMed . We hope to see you there! #UGAVetMed #VetDawgs __ This seminar is part of IDIS' weekly fall seminar series. For the full schedule, visit our website. 🔗 in bio.
