Why has the #Salmonella ST34 become a global pandemic clone? The answer is in the #pig gut—and our use of #copper. Our latest research dives into the "copper-modified niche" and how it reshapes the microbiome. link.springer.com/article/10.1... @rafalkolenda.bsky.social @abaumler.bsky.social

📈 Reported cases of non-typhoidal Salmonella in England rose by 17% — from 8,872 in 2023 to 10,388 in 2024. Main culprits are S. Enteritidis (up 17%) and S. Typhimurium (up 15%), the most common reported serovars www.gov.uk/government/p...

Did you know E. coli has 525 adhesin genes across 102 systems? That “sticky” secret is what makes it so dangerous, from UTIs to foodborne outbreaks. A really nice work by scientists from @quadraminstitute.bsky.social and collaborators @Uwr Poland @BTU Germany open.spotify.com/episode/78Am...

We want to explore the metabolic interactions among gut bacteria, when the human host eats different foods - maybe this explain partly the Enterosignature structure? Please do apply for our bioinformatic post to explore this question in metagenomes: jobs.quadram.ac.uk/Details.asp?...

Reflecting on a fantastic time at #ASMicrobe2025 and #I3S! It was an honor to give talks on our research into high copper supplementation and its effects on Salmonella and the pig microbiota. Fantastic to connect with fellow microbe enthusiasts! #SuperSalmo @quadraminstitute.bsky.social
