  1. Flushing the toilet can release a ‘plume’ of breathable pathogens – and closing the lid won’t stop their escape
    By Tory Shepherd

    New research shows turbulent flushes create toilet-generated aerosols that can transmit legionella, influenza and norovirus

  2. 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.

  3. #Bacteroides acidifaciens enriched by KRAS mutation promotes #colorectal tumorigenesis.

    KRAS‑mutant #colorectalcancer selects B. acidifaciens, whose SusF stabilizes ARHGEF2 to amplify KRAS–ERK signaling and drive tumorigenesis.

  9. Researchers have discovered that metabolites produced by a specific gut bacterium can significantly enhance the body's immune response to cancer. The bacterium Bacteroides uniformis converts the amino acid tryptophan into indoles, which subsequently suppress tumor growth and boost anti-tumor immunity.

  10. 💁🏻‍♀️ ICYMI: 🍄🌱 Dr Jennifer McGaley and her team recorded a #timelapse of arbuscular mycorrhizal #fungi growing inside living plant root #cells for the first time.

    The ancient #underground partnership helps #plants exchange #minerals for sugars. The #research could eventually help #farms reduce their reliance on #synthetic fertilizers.

  25. 💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 🧬💉 #Tattoo ink triggers an immune response the moment it enters the skin, with pigment particles lodging permanently in the dermis and sometimes traveling to #lymphnodes.

    A medical microbiologist explains that many modern inks contain industrial pigments and heavy metals, and the largely unregulated industry leaves consumers to navigate risks on their own.
