#Microbiology research requires a stable, unified #taxonomy of bacterial strains. In this Essay, Federica Palma, @sylvainbrisse.bsky.social and co-authors discuss the LIN system, resolving communication issues for precise strain definitions and epidemiological tracking. 🧪 #AcademicSky bit.ly/4xrMs4r

➡️ preprint from the lab! Bacteria have loads of antiviral defences in their mobile genetic elements (MGEs). So when MGEs move between bacteria, the defences move with them, generating a fast turnover of defences in bacteria. But what about the antiviral defence turnover in the MGEs themselves? 🤔 🧵👇

I couldn’t agree more! Help support Wikipedia. It has been a pillar of high-quality knowledge sharing since the early web, and it’s more relevant than ever in the fuzzy age of AI www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Wikipedia is needed now more than ever, 25 years on

The online encyclopedia is an antidote to an increasingly poisoned information ecosystem. Researchers should help to nourish it.

By analysing 336 KpSC genomes from human, animal, and environmental sources, we reveal strong population compartmentalisation. Environmental sublineages (farms) are highly diverse and persistent, while human-associated strains (clinical and WWTP) show fast turnover and multidrug resistance profiles.
