A shout-out for UWA/TKI PhD candidate @KalinduRodrigo who enthusiastically presented his poster on Friday at #ASMicrobe on a novel AMR mechanism in GpA Strep. Excellent representation of Australia and Western Australia. @ASM_WA_Branch @UWAresearch @telethonkids
Congratulations Janessa!
It was an honour to receive the ⭐️Illuminate Award supported by Hon Julie Bishop at last night’s PitchFest for my work improving rapid #StrepA 🧬 testing to prevent #RHD + #sorethroat complications. Congrats to my brave colleagues + thank you @telethonkids community 💪🏻

We discovered a new mechanism of antibiotic resistance which is only active in the context of an infection, thus undetectable in the pathology laboratories. Huge shout out to @tim_barnett1 + Strep A Pathogenesis and Diagnostics team at Telethon Kids Institute.
Just published! Australian researchers @telethonkids have uncovered a new, undetectable form of #AMR in a discovery set to challenge efforts to monitor & tackle one of the world’s greatest health threats @NatureComms @tim_barnett1 @KalinduRodrigo #StrepA

The first Sri Lankan strains sequenced are now on Nextstrains.
The Sri Lanka sequences fall throughout the tree. 3 of them are found in mixed, more European-centered clusters (example in the left image). Only one sequence clusters close to other Asian samples (right image, non-asian samples in gray).
