Cold plasma⚡ meets biofilms at #NISF25! Had a brilliant time showing how this fourth state of matter is changing the game in antimicrobial research! Huge thanks to everyone who stopped by to chat—always great to share the wonders of plasma science! #Biofilms #ScienceOutreach #ColdPlasma

Kicking off the new year with our latest research! 🎆 Hospital wastewater pipes: a reservoir for ESBL-producing bacteria, forming resilient biofilms 🦠 What does this mean for infection control? Find out more www.journalofhospitalinfection.com/article/S019... @brendangilmore.bsky.social

Extended-spectrum β-lactamase-producing bacteria from hospital wastewater pipes: isolation, characterization and biofilm control using common disinfectants
Hospital wastewater systems have been identified as reservoirs for antibiotic-resistant bacteria, with biofilms harbouring extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)-producing micro-organisms posing significant infection risk.

What do violins and infections have in common?🎻🦠 Our recent work with Dr Stephen Bell and Prof John McGrath reveals Rosin is effective against #ESKAPE pathogens and C. difficile spores-even in dirty conditions! #AMR #antibiotic #NaturalRemedies t.co/QxDhBV6KPG
