  1. Antibiotic-resistant bacteria possess a critical vulnerability within their cell wall transport systems that, when disrupted, drastically reduces their resistance. This discovery reveals an evolutionary trade-off where the genetic mechanisms bacteria use to survive antibiotic exposure can simultaneously be exploited to make them susceptible to existing treatments.

  2. Hippuric acid metabolism by Corynebacterium glucuronolyticum-like bacteria promotes calcium oxalate crystallization.

    C. glucuronolyticum‑like bacteria drive calcium oxalate stone formation by degrading hippuric acid.

  8. I really enjoyed revisiting my favorite organism from grad school for the next "Meet a Microbe" on my blog.

    Meet Helicobacter pylori, a bacterium that can be found in the stomach of half the world's population. It's considered a carcinogen, but only causes cancer in a small fraction of people infected.

  14. The Fauci hearing was painful to watch. But we need answers on Covid-19’s origin| David Relman
    By David Relman

    Despite the recent hearings in Congress, we seem to be even further from the goal of understanding Covid-19’s origin’s than we have ever been

  16. Bacteriophages are the most abundant and diverse viral entities on Earth, functioning as microscopic apex predators that exist exclusively to infect, replicate within, and ultimately lyse bacterial populations.

  17. A family of lanthipeptides with anti- #phage function.

    Lanthivirin gene clusters in Actinobacteria yield matured peptides that block phage DNA replication, revealing new anti‑phage natural products.

  18. An intestinal disorder linked to malnutrition and stunted growth, known as environmental enteric dysfunction (EED), can be transmitted from mothers to offspring via inflammatory bacteria in the small intestinal microbiome. This microbial influence begins to harm fetal development in utero.

  19. The First Pandemic? Scientists Find 214 Ancient Pathogens In Prehistoric DNA

    Shutterstock Scientists have uncovered DNA from 214 ancient pathogens in prehistoric humans, including the oldest known evidence of plague. The findings show zoonotic diseases began spreading around 6,500 years ago, likely triggered by farming and animal domestication. These ancient infections may still influence us today, and help guide the vaccines of tomorrow…….Continue reading…. By: University of Copenhagen – The Faculty of Health and Medical […]

  20. Is Life Just Different?

    Eduardo Ramón for Quanta Magazine In 1993, a team led by the planetary scientist Carl Sagan tentatively concluded that there is life on Earth. Not much of a deduction, you might think except that the researchers confined their evidence to observations made by the Galileo spacecraft(opens a new tab), which had flown past our planet three years earlier on a looping journey to Jupiter. So great is the transformative power of life that its presence can be detected just from the light and radio […]
