Since 1997, Staphylococcus Great Britain and Ireland (StaphGBI) conferences have brought together the Staphylococcus research community in the UK and Ireland. The 12th StaphGBI conference, hosted by University of Galway 22–23 June 2023, was co-chaired by Dr Merve S. Zeden and Professor James P. O’Gara, supported by a local organizing committee of Chloe Hobbs-Tobin, Dr Rakesh Roy, Órla Burke and Aaron Nolan. Anchored by keynote speaker Professor Vinai Thomas, all other StaphGBI 2023 oral and post presentations were delivered by early career researchers. The conference attracted approximately 100 delegates, including 72 MRes/PhD students and postdoctoral fellows, 22 principal investigators and 4 exhibitors. The mix of scientists, clinicians and early career researchers stimulated excellent discussions on key issues and challenges in the Staphylococcus field. Staphylococcus aureus interactions with the host immune system, antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and new therapeutic approaches using antimicrobial peptides or metabolites, chronic wound and device-associated infections, and improving our understanding of staphylococcal genomics were common themes at StaphGBI 2023.

It is important to record the activities and outcomes of StaphGBI 2023 and this is appropriate for Access Microbiology as a Conference Report (article type - letter). The Abstract needs revision. - The historic listing of when and where each meeting was held is really not appropriate for an Abstract. You could simply say that this is twelfth and it was established in 1999. Acknowledge Simon Foster if you wish - does it matter that it was the first time at Galway? - name your leading expert who gave the keynote - with these savings in words, you might consider inclusion here of the scientific themes and outcomes, as listed in your 'Concluding Remarks' section. Stylistic-wise, please consider a standard notation for your speakers, e.g. Dr Who (University of Somewhere). Rather than 'from', which you use sometimes and then other …

Stylistic-wise, please consider a standard notation for your speakers, e.g. Dr Who (University of Somewhere). Rather than 'from', which you use sometimes and then other formats. It will also save words without compromising delivery. At l74, begins the informative paragraph on your Keynote Lecture. All other sections have had the titles in italics. Why not here? It would signpost the paragraph and you have already mentioned the Keynote at L21 L158/9. Rolling conference series, such as StaphGBI often arrange their next meeting at the current one. If this has been done for StaphGBI, the StaphGBI 2023 Conference Report would be an excellent way of promoting the next in the series.
