New paper: Infection Inspection Philip Fowler, 10th September 202410th September 2024 This paper is the cumulation of a lot of hard work by an interdisciplinary team drawn from both the Department of Physics and the John Radcliffe hospital in Oxford; at its heart is the idea that, by fluorescent staining and super-resolution microscopy, one can image individual bacteria and ones which are resistant to an antibiotic look different, providing you’ve stained the right parts of the bug. In other words, this is perfect for Citizen Science which is exactly what Alison and everyone else did with Infection Inspection. Here is to more Citizen Science projects tackling antimicrobial resistance! You can read a previous post about the preprint or go straight to the published paper.
