🦠💊 More than 250 people have joined a trial testing #obeldesivir as post-exposure protection against #Ebola during Congo’s deadly #Bundibugyo #virus #outbreak, which currently has no approved #vaccine or treatment.
Had the privilege to participate as a mentor in the pilot, and I love it 🤩 highly recommend it! #microsky
💧🦠 #Plasma-activated water can kill #Ecoli, but researchers found its effectiveness depends strongly on concentration—highlighting the importance of dose when developing it as a #disinfectant.

#MicroSky: VACCINES: Vicente-Pazos et al. advance DNA vaccine development against Klebsiella pneumoniae, showing that plasmid backbone design can strongly influence immune responses and protection against sepsis. The pVAX1-MrkA vaccine achieved 80% protection in mice. doi.org/10.1111/1751...
Calling all involved in pioneering phage development-wherever you are! It's time for some Phage Phocus ahead of the 8th #WorldPhageDay 22 October, launching #PhageWeek. Share your experience, stories, lab photos, news, past or current research, #phagephun or why you love #phage. #phagesky #microsky

🦠📈 The Bay Area has become #California’s #Influenza hotspot unusually early, with rising #wastewater levels, a 10% flu test positivity rate and San Francisco reporting its first #flu death of the season.
🦠🩹 The #foodborne #bacterium #Aeromonas can also cause dangerous #wound #infections, especially when damaged #skin is exposed to contaminated #water or environments.

New #Klebiella pneumoniae #virulence factor just dropped.
Interesting that this gene appears to be broadly distributed across Enterobacteriaceae (Fig 5).
Likely inherented via common ancestor then I would guess.
🦠💉 #Shingles cases are declining among younger U.S. adults, and researchers say childhood #chickenpox #vaccination is likely a major reason for the drop.

Acanthamoeba castellanii causes infectious blindness. An inventory of its mitochondria lists 1,122 proteins, 381 without readily identifiable homologs in human or yeast mitochondria. Oxygen rewires their energy machinery, and the amoeba can make hydrogen gas without oxygen.
