A study in Nature Communications used AI to mine global venom proteomes and discovered novel peptides with antimicrobial activity. Several candidates showed efficacy against drug-resistant bacteria in laboratory and animal tests. go.nature.com/4f0zYb4 #medsky 🧪

This is figure 1, which shows the exploration of global venoms for antimicrobial discovery.

Come and work with me! The Nature Micro team is expanding and we're looking for someone to champion microbial ecology, plant micro & related areas for the journal Knowledge of microbial ecology/plant micro is desirable but we're open to applications from all microbiologists Link below 👇

Super interesting paper. TL;DR: Paul Jensen (not on BS AFAIK) identifies 20% of pubs w/ species named in GTDB are only E. coli, and >90% of papers on <1% of species. A few thoughts/questions 🧵

Ten species comprise half of the bacteriology literature, leaving most species unstudied @biorxiv-microbiol.bsky.social by Paul A Jensen www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... B. subtilis is #6 😍, anyhow, the literature is biased to models Would publications on plants or animals be similarly biased?

Our November issue marks the launch of our new Series on best practices in microbiology. We hope it acts as a 'living textbook' with an expanding collection of articles that push us towards better microbiology research. nature.com/collections/fghaecfibg nature.com/nmicrobiol/volumes/9/issues/11
