Influenza vaccine effectiveness against influenza A-associated hospitalization and severe in-hospital outcomes among adults in the United States, 2024–2025 🔁 Repost 🔗 t.co/EMSWOEkMy7
Image displaying a statement from the Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA) about influenza. The background section notes the high activity of influenza in the U.S. during the 2024-2025 season, with circulating strains A(H1N1)pdm09 and A(H3N2). The conclusions state that influenza vaccination reduced the risk of hospitalization and severe in-hospital outcomes during this period compared to those not vaccinated.

on #mLife, scientists found that when the black rot pathogen invades plants, the protein DrdR acts as a "molecular accelerator"—boosting pilus motor power to drive bacteria toward leaf hydathodes. 🔗 doi.org/10.1002/mlf2...
Figure 1 Proposed model depicting the molecular basis of DrdR-mediated enhancement of Xcc swarming. Upon sensing plant-derived environmental signals of unknown identity, Xcc activates DrdR via an as-yet-unidentified cognate histidine kinase. The resulting increase in DrdR abundance potentiates the ATPase activity of the pilus motor proteins, thereby driving T4P-mediated swarming motility. This process ultimately enhances bacterial colonization of leaf hydathodes and contributes to virulence.
