#Drumpf era #CDC has stopped monitoring for several factors it once tracked for foodborne illness outbreaks. As of July 1, a critical surveillance program is ordered to only monitori for two pathogens instead of the previous eight.
Currently only two #pathogens: #salmonella and #Shiga toxin-producing E. coli are being tracked federally, now ignored are #campylobacter, #cyclospora, #listeria, #shigella, #vibrio and #Yersinia.

En su libro Bacterias por todas partes, Lucia Almagro nos cuenta que no todas las #bacterias son igual de nocivas.
Por ejemplo, mientras que se necesitan 100 millones de #Vibrio #cholerae para sufrir el #cólera, con tan solo 200 bacterias del género #Shigella nos pillamos una diarrea de aúpa.

Bacterial biofilms are important for disease development. This study develops imaging tech to probe spatiotemporal patterns of #Vibrio cholerae #biofilm gene expression, showing that temporal & spatial patterns are established by QS & c-di-GMP, respectively @PLOSBiology https://plos.io/3Fga1GX

Some "fun" warnings for #Florida tomorrow because of #Hurricane #Milton #HurricaneMilton by my authority as a rando on social media:
Avoid the water because #vibrio: people get horrible skin infections from #flood waters
Avoid the water because #alligators: they get uprooted and travel for miles cranky and lurking in bizarre spots
Avoid the water because of floating gobs of fire #ants: they cling together and look for dry land, don't let them think you're dry land
TLDR:
Avoid #floodwaters

#Bactérie « mangeuse de chair » : #Aldi rappelle des #crevettes vendues dans toute la #France https://www.ouest-france.fr/economie/consommation/rappel-produit/bacterie-mangeuse-de-chair-aldi-rappelle-des-crevettes-vendues-dans-toute-la-france-ddfc93aa-32d2-11ef-8d30-98a3646b7bbc?utm_source=fluxpublicfrance&utm_medium=fluxrss&utm_campaign=banquedecontenu
Des crevettes surgelées, vendues par Aldi entre le 18 mars et le 5 juin 2024, font l’objet d’un rappel massif. Elles sont potentiellement contaminées par la bactérie « #Vibrio vulnificus », qui peut s’avérer mortelle chez certains patients.

@georgetakei Even walking barefoot on wet sand at the beach if your foot has a little cut can expose you to #Vibrio, and anyone with #diabetes, #liverdisease, or other #immunocompromised circumstances is at even greater risk of this horrible disease.

''Since the first case was reported on 28 June 2023, and as of 29 August 2023, a total of 2,389 suspected cases have been reported, including 52 deaths (overall Case Fatality Rate (#CFR) 2.2%). Laboratory analyses performed by the National Public Health Laboratory, identified 83 cases of #Shigella, 22 of #Salmonella Typhi (S. Typhi) and 21 cases of #Vibrio cholerae with toxigenicity testing of the strain not performed.''

#Vibrio Colonization Is Highly Dynamic in Early #Microplastic-Associated #Biofilms as Well as on Field-Collected #Microplastics
by Katharina Keys, et al, December 2020
Abstract:
"Microplastics are ubiquitous in aquatic ecosystems and provide a habitat for biofilm-forming bacteria. The genus Vibrio, which includes potential #pathogens, was detected irregularly on microplastics. Since then, the potential of microplastics to enrich (and serve as a vector for) Vibrio has been widely discussed. We investigated Vibrio abundance and operational taxonomic unit (OTU) composition on polyethylene and polystyrene within the first 10 h of colonization during an in situ incubation experiment, along with those found on particles collected from the Baltic Sea. We used 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing and co-occurrence networks to elaborate the role of Vibrio within biofilms. Colonization of plastics with Vibrio was detectable after one hour of incubation; however, Vibrio numbers and composition were very dynamic, with a more stable population at the site with highest nutrients and lowest salinity. Likewise, Vibrio abundances on field-collected particles were variable but correlated with proximity to major cities. Vibrio was poorly connected within biofilm networks. Taken together, this indicates that Vibrio is an early colonizer of plastics, but that the process is undirected and independent of the specific surface. Still, higher nutrients could enhance a faster establishment of Vibrio populations. These parameters should be considered when planning studies investigating Vibrio on microplastics."

#Florida researchers find ‘high amounts’ of #FleshEating bacteria in #Sargassum
by Dylan Abad, May 30, 2023
"A new study from Florida Atlantic University is uncovering how the seaweed interacts with #plastic debris and Vibrio bacteria to create the 'perfect pathogen storm' for beachgoers and marine life.
"Samples collected by FAU revealed that Vibrio pathogens had harnessed the unique ability to 'stick' to #microplastics within the seaweed blob. The findings further showed that some #Vibrio bacteria had an ‘omnivorous’ lifestyle that targeted both plant and animal hosts.
"'Another interesting thing we discovered is a set of genes called ‘zot’ genes, which causes leaky gut syndrome,' said assistant professor Tracy Mincer, Ph.D.
"For instance, if a fish eats a piece of plastic and gets infected by this Vibrio, which then results in a leaky gut and diarrhea, it’s going to release waste nutrients such nitrogen and phosphate that could stimulate Sargassum growth and other surrounding organisms.
"Simply put, the combination of the bacteria and microplastics could be responsible, in part, for the rapid growth of Sargassum."
