God I love my Spanish and Greek friends but like always when I get an infection I need to sit in pain for 2 weeks because doctors in those countries and more fling out #antibiotics like its candy. My mum sick in cancer have to lie in pain as they try to find antibiotics that still works because places like #espana and #greece just hand stuff out like its candy and now strains of bacteria are resistant... Gah!

⚛️ Would today’s antibiotics still work if bacterial biology were flipped at the molecular level?

#Antibiotic "megacluster" discovery provides new strategy to fight #superbugs
Most #antibiotics are single bioactive molecules, and some can be thwarted with single mutations. Current situation is dire, discovery not only points to potentially new antibiotic regimen, but also entirely new strategy to once again get ahead in the microbial arms race. Block of #genes that codes for four molecules that appear to work in concert to derail a single essential metabolic pathway.

How #climatechange may increase #antibioticresistance
#Climate boosted #antibiotic resistance among bacteria found in artificially warmed grassland soils, researchers report April 22 in Nature. And as drought strips the soil of moisture, #antibiotics in the environment become concentrated in the little water that remains, encouraging the growth of resistant #microbes, another team reports in the April Nature Microbiology.

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/jan/27/antibiotic-meat-production. Do #American #farmers not care that their absurd overuse of #antibiotics is creating #antibiotic #resistance, & on a massive scale? Unfortunately for #consumers of US meat & poultry, that resistance isn't confined to veterinary #diseases.

My Eye is a Jerk
Today is day three on the antibiotics. I thought things were improving yesterday, but then it got even more annoying for a while last night.
It’s a stye. I had one on my right eye. It was on the outside of the lower lid and it didn’t bother me at all. Now I have one on my left eye on the inside of the lower lid and it’s driving me bonkers. It hurts a little. It’s itchy at times. It stings now and then. Sometimes it is all three at once. It feels a little better when I dunk a face cloth in hot water and put it on my eye for a minute or two. That’s nice.
The antibiotics they gave me are a cream that I have to put onto my lower lid and then blink into my eye. Four times a day. Don’t humans blink to get stuff out of their eyes? I can’t tell if I am getting any of the goop anywhere near where it needs to be. I put some on 57 minutes ago and my eye is bugging the hell out of me. Is that the sign that it’s working? Maybe.
It’s Monday. I am working from home. I am still exhausted from our weekend on the road. The concert on Saturday was wonderful. Yeah, my step daughter singing with the Vermont Symphony Orchestra. On my “things that you will be so proud about you will nearly explode” bingo card that they gave me when I was a teenager, I never in a million years would have expected to hit on that square. She’s amazing. Enough said.
My step son is about to go into finals week on his first semester of his senior year in college. Once he gets through the next week or so he will be one final exam week away from graduation. Talk about being proud. Words cannot describe it.
Yeah, both of our kids are amazing. How can you be pissed off about a stye in your eye when you have two kids like this in your life? Amazing!

#Bacteria ditch tags to dodge #antibiotics
Modified #ribosomes could be a new possible mechanism of #AntibioticResistance -
Andrew Jones and Joshua Prince at Duke University developed a model that replicates #PeripherySequestration in #biofilms by accounting for heterogeneity of antibiotic attachment sites and porosity.
In the image we show how the heterogeneous distribution of the different matrix elements and the #bacteria themselves act as barrier against #antibiotics (in red), hindering their effect.

Filamentous Phage Shields https://schaechter.asmblog.org/schaechter/2024/03/filamentous-phage-shields.html @STCmicrobeblog
Phage liquid crystalline droplets form occlusive sheaths that encapsulate and protect infectious rod-shaped #bacteria (2020) https://www.pnas.org/doi/full/10.1073/pnas.1917726117
"in #biofilms and due to the presence of #ExtracellularMatrix #polymers, Pf4 #phage particles form highly ordered yet dynamic #LiquidCrystals (tactoids) that surround the cells. Quite interestingly, these #tactoids confer on the cells an increased tolerance to #antibiotics."
