As we approach Annual Conference 2026, where members of our community come together from all over the world, Prokaryotic Division member, Prerna Vohra (University of Edinburgh, UK), reflects on the importance of names.
As the UK’s Covid-19 Inquiry has finished hearing evidence and is starting to issue detailed reports on its various modules, there is an opportunity to reflect on the contribution that members of the Microbiology Society made to the national effort.
With our flagship Annual Conference fast approaching this month, we‘ve of course still found the time to spotlight the incredible research published in our portfolio – here are our highlights from the International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology.
In this month's Microbe Talk, Charlotte Holtum (Head of Engagement & Storytelling) welcomes guests Dr Alicia Demirjian (UK Health Security Agency and Guy’s and St. Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust) and Dr Yoann Personne (bioMérieux), to explore an underdiscussed corner of the antimicrobial resistance conversation: its management with sepsis. They discuss what underpins the real-world relationship of AMR and sepsis, improving antibiotic stewardship in hospitals, and addressing these issues sooner rather than later.
The Microbiology Society has launched a new survey to gather insights from members and the wider microbiology community on artificial intelligence (AI).
Scientists have proven that a wildflower steeped in folklore for its medicinal powers has genuine healing qualities – and the potential to help combat antibiotic resistance.
