  1. LIFE'S ALPHABET SHRINKING: E. COLI OPERATES ON 19 AMINO ACIDS

    Scientists changed E. coli bacteria to use 19 amino acids instead of 20. This could change how we make new medicines.

  2. #AI can now design functional #viruses - not the computer kind, either
    Inject this synthetic #phage into #Ecoli and it kills better than the real thing
    #Bacteriophages, are viruses that infect bacteria, have been widely studied since their discovery in the early 20th century. The end result of the AI portion of the project was a pool of 302 candidate #genomes, 285 of which were able to generate full genomes. Of those, 16 were found to inhibit growth of E. coli #bacteria.

  3. So, this probably explains why the @fdarecall_bot stopped working... #FoodSafety just flew out the window!!! Thanks #Trump & #DOGE! Keeping us safe...NOT!

    A deadly #EColi outbreak hit 15 states, but the #FDA chose not to publicize it

    The outbreak linked to #RomaineLettuce killed one person and sickened at least 88 more, including a 9-year-old boy who nearly died of kidney failure.

    "An E. coli outbreak linked to romaine lettuce ripped across 15 states in November, sickening dozens of people, including a 9-year-old boy in Indiana who nearly died of kidney failure and a 57-year-old Missouri woman who fell ill after attending a funeral lunch. One person died.

    "But chances are you haven’t heard about it.

    "The Food and Drug Administration indicated in February that it had closed the investigation without publicly detailing what had happened — or which companies were responsible for growing and processing the contaminated #lettuce."

  4. These are the 20 most-studied #bacteria — majority ignored
    Model microbes such as Escherichia coli hog scientists’ attention, leaving most known bacteria with few publications devoted to them.
    Study of over 43,000 bacterial species found #Ecoli dominates with 21% of all publications, followed by human pathogens like #Staphylococcus aureus. Microbes crucial for human health and Earth's ecosystems remain largely unexplored, Univ of Michigan biologist Paul Jensen reported.

  5. This is your semi-regular reminder to stop what you're doing and sanitize your cell phone, which is a cesspool of germs.

    Our near-collective habit of taking our phones into the bathroom is a really, really bad idea.

  6. #Bactérie #Ecoli : du #fromage de #chèvre potentiellement contaminé rappelé dans toute la #France ouest-france.fr/economie/conso

    Plusieurs produits de fromage de chèvre Chavignol AOP font l’objet d’un rappel produits car ils sont soupçonnés d’être contaminés par la bactérie Escherichia coli shiga toxinogène (#STEC). Ils ont été commercialisés dans toute la France entre la fin mai et la fin juin 2024.

  7. Multi-drug resistant bacteria in dog poo and aquatic wildlife habitats?

    Pet dogs "might be carrying antimicrobial-resistant bacteria, according to international researchers who tested E. coli found in the poo of pet dogs. They found evidence that the bacteria had developed some forms of antimicrobial resistance. The team suggest that efforts should be taken to prevent the transmission of E. coli between humans and their pets as this may pose a threat to human health."
