  1. theguardian.com/environment/20. "The use of #antibiotics on #livestock will rise by nearly a third in the next 15 years without #Government #intervention, according to new global estimates, with potentially disastrous #impacts on #human #resistance to essential #medicines." The @guardian means #bacterial resistance to medicines used to treat human & #veterinary #diseases!

  2. Cyclic‑di‑GMP regulates diverse #bacterial functions, but what #enzymes coordinate its homeostasis? This study shows that the 16 enzymes involved in #c-di-GMP turnover in #Anabaena function as an electromechanical-like dual relay to control #CellSize & viability @PLOSBiology plos.io/3QubUVG

  4. #Antibiotic treatments can alter the composition and diversity of the #bacterial community in the #gastrointestinal tract, known as the gut microbiome, with measurable disruptions persisting for four to eight years after a single course of treatment.

  5. Two gut bacteria, Akkermansia muciniphila and Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron, work cooperatively to destroy the hydrating intestinal mucus coating, causing a newly identified condition termed #bacterial #constipation

  6. A water-based spruce #bark extract functions as a potent, eco-friendly #biocide that effectively replaces toxic synthetic chemicals used to control harmful #bacterial growth in industrial paper milling and #wastewater systems.

  8. Scientists identified 11 specific regions of the human #genome that significantly influence the composition and abundance of oral #microbial communities, confirming that host genetics play a critical role in determining the mouth's #bacterial environment.

  9. #Bacterial #plasmids utilize two distinct survival strategies—stealth and manipulation—to drive a "stealth-first" mechanism where #antimicrobial resistance genes are initially acquired by stealthy plasmids before being rapidly disseminated by manipulative ones.

  10. New #biological insights allowed to engineer phages with far superior activity against drug-resistant pathogens back on Earth. #SpaceStation phages gradually accumulated specific mutations that boosted their infectivity, or their ability to bind receptors on #bacterial 🦠 cells independent.co.uk/space/virus-

  11. New #studies show that a #bacterial molecule, #peptidoglycan, is present in the #brain and fluctuates with #sleep patterns. This challenges the idea that sleep is solely brain-driven, instead suggesting it’s a #collaborative process between our #bodies and #microbiomes. The theory links #microbes not only to sleep but also to #cognition, #appetite, and #behavior, pointing to a profound #evolutionary relationship

  14. Archaea-on-bacteria action! This study shows that many #archaea encode #peptidoglycan hydrolases, which specifically target #bacterial cell walls, experimentally confirming the killing capacity of 2 of these enzymes @PLOSBiology plos.io/4lrJBBa

  15. Competition & #bacterial #PopulationDynamics. @krishnaaswin77 &co show that within-host competition in #Streptococcus increases clearance & reduces establishment; #AntibioticResistance increases susceptibility to competition @PLOSBiology plos.io/4lqcZba

  16. A #bacterial #infection is behind the mass die-off of sea stars along Pacific coast of North America. Has led to major #ecological upheaval. It's unclear whether aquacultures play a role.
