Check out what ASM has done in the year since signing the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals Publishers Compact: journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128…
Have ideas for how the society can support the goals? We'd love to hear from you!

How does reinfection impact ongoing pathogen transmission? Using a songbird species & strains of its common bacterial pathogen, scientists find that reinfections may favor more harmful pathogen strains that can better overcome immune defenses. @mSphereJ: asm.social/2kl
ALT Experimental design and timeline. Index individuals (housed alone for the priming portion) were given one of three priming treatments (y-axis) with the M. gallisepticum strain VA94 (blue squares), with treatments varying by the number of priming exposures and dose (the color gradient indicates variation in dose, with more intense color indicating increasing dose concentration). On day 39 post-priming treatment, all index birds were challenged with one of two strains: one homologous to that used in priming exposures (VA94, shown in blue) or a heterologous strain (NC06, shown in yellow) and then pair-housed with an MG-naive cagemate to assess pairwise transmission success.
