i should have called it #microbemonday Always next time! 😂

Gorgeous paper and a plea for open data.

How did @Nature become "prestigious" to scientists?

In our opening article of Issue 09, writer Robert Reason traces the journal's history.

By understanding how Nature’s prestige was constructed, we can also clarify which elements are deserved and which are entrenched.

Diet modulates Vibrio cholerae colonization and competitive outcomes with the gut microbiota Liu et al. show that dietary protein sources differentially restrict colonization of the pathogen Vibrio cholerae. Specific diets downregulate V. cholerae type VI secretion system (T6SS) expression, l...

DONE!

I've neglected my account but I'm graduating with an MBA in 16 days. I look forward to sharing more stuff, especially Microbiology in the new year! See ya'll soon! 🥳

gosh, can you imagine going to dinner with this guy‽ food would be EVERYWHERE!

added! Share some science 😁🥳

Thanks 🥳

🔬 🧪

loved adding you! 🥰

added you to the microlist. made it private again

added, but I need to update that pinned post. it should be open to everyone 🥰 faster pussy cat post post 🐱

give it a go!

That makes sense! I can do that.

Hi @bsky.app #users When I add you to a list, do you know? Do you get notified at all? Or do I need to let you know?

Mutations in the essential outer membrane protein BamA contribute to Escherichia coli resistance to the antimicrobial peptide TAT-RasGAP317-326 Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are promising alternatives to classical antibiotics against antibiotic-resistant pathogens. TAT-RasGAP317-326 is an AMP with broad range antibacterial activity, but its m...

Bacteria are always going to adapt to antimicrobials. Understanding how they are adapting is crucial to staying one step ahead. This article investigates how a strain of E. coli survived AMP exposure 🦠 🧪 www.jbc.org/article/S002...

Added! Can’t wait to see what you come up with 🥳
