Modernising Medical Microbiology is a research unit within @ox.ac.uk aiming to transform how we analyse and treat infections, to improve patient care.https://bsky.app/profile/modmedmicro.bsky.socialhttps://bsky.app/profile/modmedmicro.bsky.social/post/3mhswqwfyn227On #WorldTBDay, it’s important to reflect on the scale of the challenge we’re facing. In 2024 alone, tuberculosis (TB) caused 1.23 million deaths worldwide, remaining the leading cause of death from a single infectious agent, according to WHO @ndm.ox.ac.uk24 Mar 2026 15:55 +0000at://did:plc:jkhlu4edlran5byehs36ntto/app.bsky.feed.post/3mhswqwfyn227https://bsky.app/profile/modmedmicro.bsky.social/post/3mhse45ukdc27Open datasets such as these are key for tackling AMR in diseases such as tuberculosis. #WorldTBDay [contains quote post or other embedded content]24 Mar 2026 10:21 +0000at://did:plc:jkhlu4edlran5byehs36ntto/app.bsky.feed.post/3mhse45ukdc27https://bsky.app/profile/modmedmicro.bsky.social/post/3meljresoh22oInternational Day of Women and Girls in Science 👩‍🔬 Proud to work alongside the scientists in our #microbiology lab whose work in antimicrobial resistance, public health and diagnostics has real-world impact! #WomenInScience #AMR #PublicHealth @medsci.ox.ac.uk @ox.ac.uk @oxfordbrc.bsky.social11 Feb 2026 12:58 +0000at://did:plc:jkhlu4edlran5byehs36ntto/app.bsky.feed.post/3meljresoh22ohttps://bsky.app/profile/modmedmicro.bsky.social/post/3megga3y6322hMMM has an exciting UNIQ+ project running this summer -apply now! Bacteria, microplastics & resistance — what’s the connection? #Microplastics are everywhere, even in hospitals. But what happens when bacteria stick to them?

TB may be one of humanity’s oldest diseases, yet it still kills over 1M people yearly. As resistance spreads, knowing each patient’s resistance profile before treatment is vital. 🧬💊 https://academic.oup.com/jacamr/article/7/5/dlaf175/8279675?login=false18 Nov 2025 18:03 +0000at://did:plc:jkhlu4edlran5byehs36ntto/app.bsky.feed.post/3m5wd5bcx7s2l
