#MicroDxAdvent just made my day. @BrunoMars and #microbiology put together is the gift I never knew I needed. Happy #MerryBugmas to all in the lands near and far. Keep safe. Love your people. Peace
#MerryBugmas #MicroDxAdvent DAY 24
Today is an homage to our boy @BrunoMars - Staphylococcus aureus is our last bug for the year! You may know it as “golden staph” 🏅, due to its ~24 karat magic~ gold-coloured colonies 🧫.

All in all....we may love gold, but Staph aureus infections are not the kind of gold we 💛
#MerryBugmas! Signing off for 2019!

‘Twas the night before Christmas,
when all through the house,
not a creature was stirring...
EXCEPT FOR US, BECAUSE TODAY IS THE FINAL #MicroDxAdvent! 📢📢📢
Watch this space later today for our last bug of 2019! Any guesses for what it will be?
#MerryBugmas!

Today’s #Festivus! But be careful if you use Kramer’s hot tub – you may have to Air your Grievances 😤 about Mycobacterium avium 🦠
This bug can cause “hot tub lung”, a hypersensitivity response from inhaling infected water vapour 🌬️

Clap 👏😉 4 #MicroDxAdvent bug of the day Neisseria gonorroheae. It’s no coincidence that we chose the 22nd for #Gono:
-It comes in 2’s as diplococci 🟣🟣 (kind of looking like a bottom)
-Often brings a friend to the party 🥳 in the form of Chlamydia
#AMR 💊
#MerryBugmas #MicroDxAdvent DAY 21
We don’t joke about vaccine preventable diseases. 2019 set records for #measles (Paramyxovirus infection) worldwide e.g. highest rates in seen in the USA in 25 years. In 2018, 140,000 (way too many) died.

An unusual bug for this #MicroDxAdvent. You can find Elizabethkingia, named after @CDC microbiologist Elizabeth O. King, in the most curious 🤔 places
e.g. E. miricola in Space Station Mir 🛰️, or E. endophytica from sweet 🌽
Thanks @DBurnard1 4 the #BugFact
#MerryBugmas #MicroDxAdvent DAY 19
Mycoplasma genitalium (#Mgenitalium) another 🦠 #STI causing urethritis and pelvic inflammatory disease. It has recently been added to the #CDCARthreats list ⚠️ because it is highly resistant to many available antibiotics 💊 le gasp 😱

When it comes to genomics, Burkholderia pseudomallei (cause of melioidosis ) doesn’t mess around. With 5000+ genes 🧬 across two chromosomes, you need serious 🖥️ power to explore this genome!
Today’s #MicroDxAdvent #BugFact courtesy of @DBurnard1. Thanks! 🙌
#MerryBugmas DAY 17
Last Friday was the 39th anniversary of the smallpox eradication 🥳
Looking @ U, #Ebola 👀, today’s #MicroDxAdvent bug, to follow suit
A 💉 against the Zaire strain of Ebola is being investigated for wider use, esp. the DRC's ongoing outbreak. #VaccinesWork
#MerryBugmas DAY 16
Don’t drink ‘til you’re numb this December 🍷🍻🍾, lest you confuse your symptoms for today’s #MicroDxAdvent bug. Mycobacterium leprae 🦠, which (you guessed it!) causes leprosy, can cause numbness if the infection reaches the peripheral nervous system
#MerryBugmas #MicroDxAdvent DAY 15
Phthirus pubis- not a microbe, but still deserves a mention. Can be seen with the naked eye 🤮and are transmitted via sexual contact leading to incessant itching😬. They literally live off human blood by biting their host. Vampire much? 🧛♀️
#MerryBugmas #MicroDxAdvent DAY 14
Dropping another STI for today’s fun #BugFact. Trichomonas vaginalis, one of the only protozoan STIs. Trichomoniasis is the most common #STI out of the “Big 4” (inc. #gonorrhoea, #chlamydia & #syphilis), w/~156 mill new infections annually🧬💊
#MerryBugmas #MicroDxAdvent DAY 13
What is it? Causative agent for CJD Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease or Kuru in New Guinea. These infectious agents are controversial, as they’re not what you think of when you think “microbe”. Take a guess!🤔
#MerryBugmas #MicroDxAdvent DAY 12
Poliomyelitis, a paralysing disease going way back, think Egypt. Luckily effective and cheap vaccination has led to its control. Global incidence down 99%.👏Global Polio Eradication Initiative.
Topical for Malaysia,⬇️

A case of mistaken identity for today’s #MicroDxAdvent #BugFact. Historically, plagues like the Black Death were thought to be transmitted by rats. But now we know that the plague is from the bite of a rat flea infected by the bacterium Yersinia pestis 🐀🐜🦠
#MerryBugmas #MicroDxAdvent DAY 10
Allow me to break the ice *groan* for our followers currently in Winter. Today’s bug is Pithovirus sibericum, a giant virus (1.5 um long!) isolated from Siberian permafrost ❄️ and an estimated 30,000+ years old 👴
Very cool! *double groan*
