Smart microbes are rapidly emerging as potential therapeutic interventions. Srivastava and Lesser in MBT discuss the potential of engineered bacteria for ensuring healthy lives and promoting well-being for all ages, aligning with UN SDG 3. Read: https://t.co/MGT27oRksr
Published just in time for the holidays! I learned so much while writing about the past, present, and future of E. faecalis research with Gary. Check it out! 🦠🧫🧪🔬

MY YEAR IN REVIEW: Hi, if you've been following my work, a heartfelt thank you for reading. 2024 has been a very fulfilling year and one of my busiest. I'm a science journalist based in Madurai, India and writing for the international press for the last 20 years. My work 👇
🚨New paper alert🚨
So happy to finally share this! now out @CellReports ✨ We explored the hierarchical structure that controls virulence in Pseudomonas🦠, finding a mutational hotspot that acts as a genetic switch for hypervirulence💀 and AMR💊

1) sustainable funding of pathogen WGS surveillance
2) proving that "sequencing (surveillance of) X number of genomes can prevent Y number of deaths/HAIs"
.Our new article in @Cheme1972.
This study provides insights into the prevalence of chlorine resistant, pathogenic #bacteria in cooling water systems & highlights the application of #phages to mitigate chlorine resistant bacteria & their #biofilms.

Gram stain showing gram-positive rods arranged in long chains, characteristic of Bacillus species.
These rods are large, uniform in size, and may exhibit a bamboo-stick or boxcar-like appearance.
Do you need an intro to analyzing (prote)omics data?
This series of lectures may be helpful.
We aimed to make them short & accessible.
Enjoy watching & learning!

Today in @Nature we share our work describing
• how to achieve resistance to natural viruses,
• a technology that prevents the escape of engineered genetic information,
• how viruses overcome genetic-code-based resistance.

@implosian@baym@nquinoneso What if, instead of sampling hundreds of phages, we could just make the right ones glow? Enter Phage Discovery by Co-culture (Phage DisCo) which combines two strains: a WT and a modified strain, each fluorescently tagged. Now, fluorescent signal will mark plaques of interest. 3/

Here's the UVC project if you want to follow along. Work in progress so expect code and STL files to change. I'll make a nicer standalone system soon.

I had an amazing time reporting this story, chatting with bright-eyed children about what they saw through their Foldscopes, a low-cost microscope that's changing the study of science at a grassroots level in rural India. Thanks @MMopatnsf@karthickbala

@Kamal_t@MMopatnsf@karthickbala What a wonderful article that shows the joy of discovery students can experience when given the tools of science! Thank you @Kamal_t for writing about and sharing the incredible work of @MMopatnsf !
