Why are there so few #pathogens, and what determines their emergence? @jdrakephd.bsky.social argues that #ecological and #evolutionary forces (host availability, geographic exposure and microbial innovation) will shape future human diseases. 🧪

(1/5)For over a century, the hunt for new antibiotics has focused almost exclusively on bacteria and fungi. Today, that paradigm shifts. By coupling state-of-the-art AI with the vast, largely uncharted diversity of Archaea, we open a new frontier for molecular discovery.
Excited to have our new mini review on Microbiome Metabolism out today in I&I as part of the @asm.org New Voices in Microbiology collection! Check it out!

Hoy 24 de marzo se conmemora el Día Mundial de la Tuberculosis, en recuerdo del día en que se publicó la identificación de Mycobacterium tuberculosis como la bacteria responsable de la enfermedad. Robert Koch recibió el Premio Nobel por ello en 1905.

When a person is diagnosed with #tuberculosis, one of their first questions is often, “Why did I get tuberculosis? Why me?” 💬

Sharing in #BlueSky a 2023 review on #T6SS that I loved co-authoring with my fantastic friend and collaborator @lukeallsopp.bsky.social He coined the catchy, musical first part of our title: "Killing in the Name of: T6SS Structure and Effector Diversity" Check it out: buff.ly/3Zzh0Rz #Microbiology

Crazy stuff in PNAS
dental plaque bacterium 𝘊𝘰𝘳𝘺𝘯𝘦𝘣𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘶𝘮 𝘮𝘢𝘵𝘳𝘶𝘤𝘩𝘰𝘵𝘪𝘪 can divide into an unprecedented 14 daughter cells at once—then each daughter cell starts growing immediately in a rare process called multiple fission, achieving 0.5 mm per day of expansion

Extremely happy to see the final published version of this study out in Nature Ecology and Evolution www.nature.com/articles/s41...
I really think this is one of our most important contributions to the field!
