Good to see the New York Times discussing the likelihood of polio, whooping cough and measles outbreaks.

NPPB bound in the channel of TolC, below, prevents export of, among other things, the RtxA1 toxin, a virulence factor that rapidly kills host cells.

Gene expression from the pLS20 conjugative plasmid is controlled by a mechanosensing signal transduction pathway responsive to flagella rotation, a strategy that may allow dissemination of the plasmid to remote destinations and infiltration of new niches.

Aurodox is a Streptomyces metabolite (linear polyketide) that interferes with Gram-negative bacterial infections of host cells. Roe et al. show Aurodox could work by reducing transcription across phylogenetically distinct Type Three Secretion Systems in E. coli, Salmonella, Yersinia and Vibrio spp.

"Science is more of a vocation than a regular daytime job. The secret to surviving a PhD is proactively avoiding common problems and learning to enjoy what you are doing. Nothing in life is worth doing without passion, and a career in science is an exemplary case."

I am taking care of our neighbor's cat for the holiday. Their door lock has been hard to open and wouldn't budge this morning. I remembered our mechanical engineer daughter's rules: If it is moving and is not supposed to: Duct tape If is supposed to move and isn't: WD40 Problem solved: Cat fed.

From the S. Shin lab sunnyshinlab.bsky.social: Hu guanylate-binding protein 1 (GBP1) damages the vesicle around Legionella, revealing the pathogen to the cell by activating inflammasomes. In contrast, murine GBPs can directly attack cytosolic Legionella. doi.org/10.1128/mbio... #mbio #ASM #MicroSky

Human GBP1 facilitates the rupture of the Legionella-containing vacuole and inflammasome activation | mBio

Inflammasomes are essential for host defense against intracellular bacterial pathogens like Legionella, as they activate caspases, which promote cytokine release and cell death to control infection. I...
