this year's first focused meeting, anaerobe 2019: changing perceptions of anaerobic bacteria; from pathogen to the normal microbiota and back, took place at the jurys inn cardiff, 13–14 june. we’ve turned to twitter to look at some of the highlights of the meeting.
following the meeting open and welcome address from professor sheila patrick (queen's university belfast), professor hannah wexler (university of california, los angeles, usa) began session one with a tribute to sydney finegold.
