Applied Microbiology International has announced that it is partnering with the Minoritised Life Scientists Future Forum (MLSFF) conference, which takes place at the end of March.
Fungi are incredible organisms in terms of plasticity, resilience, and adaptation. However, they have the potential to both help and hinder us.
Read storyThe gut microbiome has been tied to our reproductive health through its ability to produce, break down, and modify sex hormones.
The role of VOCs in health and disease is garnering increasing attention, particularly in their use as biomarkers for a wide range of medical conditions.
The year 2023 was the warmest since global temperature records were established in 1850. Discover the role of free-living amoebae in the transmission of waterborne pathogens and human infection, in the context of rising global temperatures.

Madangchanok Imchen and Seth R. Bordenstein from the One Health Microbiome Center - winner of AMI’s WH Pierce Prize 2024 - explore the potential of the reproductive microbiome, particularly the fascinating Wolbachia, to counter global disease threats.
The fight against AMR will require innovation, collaboration, and a fundamental shift in perspective – but it’s a fight we can win.
Public sector data associated with health are a highly valuable resource, yet in practice data-sharing poses multiple challenges. Dr Nicola Holden, from AMI’s One Health Scientific Advisory Group, explores the murky morass of big data.
Ojewale Ifeoluwa Florence reports back on her AMI-sponsored summer studentship which focused on the investigation of Actinobacteria found in local freshwater environments in Ogun State, Nigeria, under supervisor Dr. Amina Badmos.
Fleur Thorogood (20), from Cheltenham, reveals what happened during her Applied Microbiology International-sponsored Summer Placement at Cardiff University investigating Cutibacterium acnes host adaptation with respect to biofilms.
Discover valuable insights from three companies in the microbiology field, and their experience of balancing innovation, investment, and sustainability to drive their success.
Comprehensive genetic mapping of Plasmodium knowlesi, a zoonotic parasite that causes malaria, has revealed the genes required for malaria infection of the blood, and those driving drug resistance.
A study shares insights gleaned from a ’sisterhood’ of thousands of citizen scientists, illuminating gaps in knowledge about the vaginal microbiome, including which bacteria are helpful or harmful and whether microbiomes look different for people across the globe.
Scientists have discovered a crucial connection between gut microbes and anxiety-related behaviour, suggesting that microbial metabolites – specifically indoles – play a direct role in regulating brain activity linked to anxiety.
Researchers have brewed new sour beers in less time using field peas. The experimental beers had fruity flavors and other attributes comparable to a commercial Belgian-style sour, but with shorter, simpler brewing steps.
