What we've learned about the microbiome could be skewed due to the fact that researchers mostly focused on people from Europe and North America. There's a urgent need to ensure more global representation of participants in microbiome studies @PLOSBiology https://t.co/vtwZIj9Fbl

This table is amazing!! Thanks @GermHunterMD for sharing.

Looking for microbiome related podcasts. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

I would rather have questions that can't be answered than answers that can't be questioned.

Sometimes it looks like Exhausted CD8 T cells recover from exhaustion - cell surface phenotype, even RNA and scRNA..But underlying epigenetics of exhaustion can be retained, impacting future responses. Epigenetics Scarring - new work by @M_S_Hakeem https://t.co/Qtvy90bBjW

Work does not get much attention but is critical: assessment of performance of antigen detection tests for variants. Good news. https://t.co/r0cbUhzPo2

A cautionary tale for those working with CoV-2 plasmids: we show that SARS-CoV-2 cDNA fragments, now in wide use across many research labs, can easily cause false positive RT-PCR COVID-19 diagnostic tests. @poisondartfrog7 @uvmcnhs @UVMLarnerMed https://t.co/S8ymBtUFPp

E484K seen in B.1.351 and P.1 (ex SA and Brazil), gives around a ten fold loss of neutralisation. B.1.617 has E484Q which has not been studied. E484Q has a smaller, 6 fold loss. The second mutation, L452 has a 4 fold effect(not statistically different to Wuhan-1 D614G here).

With the prepandemic publication cycle, this invited review was outdated before it was published. Note added in proof: everything we wrote now applies to SARS COV 2. https://t.co/Z9ihnqI00q

Variants, wow! Check out the stunning march of B117 across the US. Even with more than half of our adult population fully vaccinated, we still face risk of outbreaks, and unvaccinated people are facing more danger than ever. 14/

I read this great article shared earlier by @OncIDPharmd about mutation rates for ampC derepression in Enterobacterales

Besides the clinical observation, this study has shown this resistance IS NOT equally common in all species with inducible AmpC (SPICE)

Ladies, if he
- Ignores text messages
- Eats everything in sight, then falls asleep on the couch
- Pukes some of it back up to “show off”
- Isn’t too good with “the details”
- Has a shitty memory
He’s not your man. He’s a macrophage.

A #SARSCoV2 variant that emerged in southeast England in November 2020 is more transmissible than pre-existing variants, a new modeling study finds. Results point to an urgent need to consider novel approaches for reducing ongoing virus transmission. https://t.co/vzG8rf3lm6
