New primer alert! Microbial primer discussing 'ancientbiotics': the search for 'new' antimicrobials from ancient remedies. @microbiologysociety.org @friendlymicrobe.bsky.social www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/jour... - Come and join our editorial team
- Reposted by Steve DiggleWhy should microbiologists be interested in historical infection remedies, and how can we best investigate them for antimicrobial discovery? Thoroughly enjoyed co-writing this Microbiology Primer with @tosinorababa.bsky.social www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/jour... #MicroSky #Ancientbiotics

- P. aeruginosa can outcompete S. aureus in chronic wounds through strain-specific, alkyl-quinoline-independent mechanisms. This highlights why clinical isolates are key to understanding these infections. 🧬🧫 #Microbiology #Biofilms #Microsky www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/jour...

- Reposted by Steve DiggleRecent work from the lab showing how presence of O-antigen deficient Pseudomonas variants change aggregate assembly and microbiogeography of infection journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/...
- Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates sourced from infection are often not blue/green pigment producers. Textbooks might tell you something different.
- Reposted by Steve DiggleA bacterial predator, Halobacteriovorax, acts as a living "probiotic" that halts Vibrio-induced disease progression in endangered Caribbean corals. This shows microbial predators are promising new tools for coral disease therapy! #CoralReefs #MicrobialEcology #ISMEJ academic.oup.com/ismej/advanc...

- P. aeruginosa intrastrain diversity drastically changes its spatial organization in lung infections. OSA-deficient variants, common in CF/COPD, surprisingly led to larger bacterial aggregates in vivo. #Microbiology #CFResearch journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/...
