  2. 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.

  9. 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

  13. 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.

  18. Bacteria growing within an aligned liquid crystal fluid—environments mimicking specific biological settings like biofilm matrices or mucus linings—organize into single-cell-wide chains that gradually lengthen before experiencing localized buckling, ultimately forming a tangled, serpentine network.

  20. Ich freue mich sehr, dass wir unsere Arbeit und unser #Interreg North-West Europe (NWE) Projekt #PREWAPHARM auf den NRW Tagen in #Münster vorstellen dürfen. Kommt am Sonntag (30.08.) zwischen 14.30 und 20.00 Uhr im EFRE/JTF Zelt in der Stubengasse vorbei, wenn ihr mehr über unsere Aktivitäten zur Vermeidung und Entfernung von Medikamentenrückständen und für sauberes Wasser erfahren wollt.

  21. 💁🏻‍♀️ ICYMI: 🔬🌸 Japanese #nature photographer Pendora (ぺんどら) captures tiny globular #springtails measuring around 0.3 mm in length.

    These wetland micro-arthropods display face-to-face courtship interactions and use a spring-loaded tail organ called a furcula to execute high-speed jumps that look like #teleportation.

  25. Do clouds have a #virome ?

    Clouds are more than water droplets. They host active microbial communities and, potentially, vast numbers of viruses.

  29. 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 […]
