From May 26 to 28, 2025, the conference of the DVG Bacteriology and Mycology Section took place at the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine of the LMU in Oberschleissheim.

The Institute of Bacteriology and Mycology was very well represented in the conference, with two presentations by doctoral students Annika Breitfelder and Josepha Hallbauer as well as 5 posters. Sophia Hanstein received the second poster prize for her poster “Klebsiella pneumoniae biofilms on porcine respiratory mucosa in an air-liquid-interface model”. The project she presented is supervised by Dr. Sophie Kähl and is a close cooperation with the working group of Prof. Getu Abraham (Institute of Pharmacology, Pharmacy and Toxicology).

We congratulate Sophia Hanstein on this award.
