Some fantastic results from Irish and international Clinical Research being presented at #CCR23 in Belfast today!
@ICCCTN @CritCareReviews
Have you worked in an acute Irish Hospital any time since 2017?
If you have, please be a star take a moment and fill in this survey about CPE and sinks! 🦠🦠
🏥👀🗒️Sink Survey still open to #Healthcare workers in 🇮🇪 hospitals. Spotlight on handwashing sinks. Good, bad, indifferent, your observations are welcome and helpful in reducing #AntibioticResistance @saoltagroup @stjamesdublin @CUH_Cork @Dfitzhughes

Great to have caught the morning session of IBICS 2022, my first in person IBICS! Well done to all involved.

Great to have a shout out from @MicrobioSoc on our most recent review paper!

Can you use cold atmospheric pressure plasma to prevent Hospital Acquired Infections? Find out in this review by @MicroMuireann and colleagues, published #OpenAccess and fee-free in #JMedMicro using a #PublishandRead agreement.

One of the most important (& least appreciated) roles in preventing HAIs is routine hospital cleaning. Here's our masters student Sara presenting her poster looking at cleaning and bacterial contamination in ICUs at @iscm_micro
@aoifeky @RCSI_Micro @RCSI_postgrad @Saracharkimed
This project was co-supervised by @aoifeky and only possible through loads of help from @Dfitzhughes @FfitzP as well as many more hospital staff. Thanks everyone!

Prof Fidelma Fitzpatrick, Head of @RCSI_micro, with Dr Catriona Brady from @Tillotts_pharma.
Support from Tillots has facilitated Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI) research at RCSI, including a retrospective review of CDI epidemiology over a decade.

What a fantastic tribute to Prof. Ellen Moorhouse. Presidents, CEO's, Deans, Professors, Doctors, scientists, friends and family all turned out to rename our clinical microbiology laboratory in her honour. @FfitzP @Dfitzhughes @MicroMuireann @RCSI_Irl

by forming a biofilm, streptococci gain resistance to immune or antibiotic clearance – at Stockholm, Sweden
Great talk earlier by Prof Karen Vickery from @macquarie_uni at #ECCMID22 about biofilms in the hospital environment. Our group @RCSI_Micro recently published a paper looking at a novel decontamination technology to combat these! Read it here dl.begellhouse.com/journals/…
Delighted to be presenting our work on novel antibiofilm complexes at #ECCMID22 Come find me at poster P1314 for a chat! #Staphylococcus #Biofilms @Dfitzhughes @PryceGroup @RCSI_Micro @ECCMID

This months research seminar presented by @MicroMuireann @RCSI_Research
The 'Wild-West' of atmospheric plasma and what she did in her #PhD to better understand its potential for hospital decontamination. Shortly available in print #infectioncontrol

Does this count as a staff day out? #iscmspring22 @AaronSDoherty @RCSI_Micro @Dfitzhughes @FfitzP @MicroMuireann
Thanks @robcunney! @iscm_micro
@MicroMuireann on use of novel light-activated compounds to treat biofilm infections #ISCMSpring22 @iscm_micro @RCSI_Micro
Great presentation by PhD student Kaja Turzańska at #ISCM #ISCMSpring22. Could light-activated BODIPYs made by @PryceGroup be used to treat infected wounds? So important to develop new antimicrobials! #AMR #antibioticresistance #phdlife @RCSI_Micro @Dfitzhughes @RCSI_postgrad
A clean lab before the mayhem of teaching labs! Blown away by the enthusiasm of our students and such a pleasure to pass on some skills to them. @RCSIPharmBioMol @RCSI_Irl @Dfitzhughes @RCSI_Micro

#ECCMID22 is a big calender event for us. A super haul of abstracts accepted from our hardworking researchers @aoifeky @MicroMuireann @Danifaf @Dfitzhughes @AshweneRajagop1
Thanks to @IbicsIreland for giving me a chance to talk about my research investigating novel antibacterial agents to combat #AntibioticResistance. Big thanks to our collaborators in @PryceGroup in DCU Chemistry! @Dfitzhughes @RCSI_Micro @RCSI_Research
