New mRNA vaccine targets M. pneumoniae's P1 adhesin, showing strong immune responses in mice. It reduces lung inflammation & offers hope against macrolide-resistant strains. #Vaccines#Mycoplasmajournals.asm.org/doi/10.1128…
Emerging carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae in Peru shows a shift from KPC-producing to NDM-producing strains. Lineages ST45, ST11, and ST147 are on the rise, posing significant public health challenges. @fiorellakl@pablotsukayama@bernhard_diegojournals.asm.org/doi/10.1128…
Green tea's benefits may depend on your gut! A study links specific gut bacteria to bioactive compounds in green tea, revealing its neuroprotective effects are shaped by microbiome diversity. #Microbiome#GreenTeajournals.asm.org/doi/10.1128…
Microbial functional gene composition and diversity along the Central and Southwest Indian Ridges is largely influenced by inorganic nutrients transported by the upper circumpolar deep water rather than hydrothermal input. journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128…
Peterson et al. find that the bile-acid-transforming bacteria most common in the human gut are relatively unknown, while the most known bacteria, C. scindens, is common in IBD patients but not in healthy individuals. journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128…
New software identifies motile bacteria in the human oral microbiota from eHOMD, shedding light on their evolutionary relationships and motility's role in microbiome dynamics. @ShrivastavaLabjournals.asm.org/doi/10.1128…
Multiplex fragment analysis continues to detect and differentiate COVID-19 variants. From the @Jeff_SoRelle research group including New Pathology Resident Ken Zhu as first author. journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128…
Microhabitat accessibility determines peptide substrate degradation by soil microbial community. This might be due to a reduction in intra- and interspecific competition between microbes, which allows wider metabolic strategies to arise. journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128…
Lopez et al explore the role of Legionella pneumophila IrsA, a novel, iron-regulated exoprotein that modulates biofilm formation and under some circumstances, promotes growth in low-iron conditions journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128…
