Experimental phage evolution results in expanded host ranges against antibiotic resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates - Nature Communications Ghatbale et al. adapted a co-evolutionary technique to develop Klebsiella pneumoniae phages to be highly active longitudinally against K. pneumoniae clinical isolates, including drug resistant isolate...

Congratulations to my student Josh Hensley and our amazing collaborators at UCSD David Pride lab! In press today, we developed a technique to evolve phages to broaden bacterial host range to tackle bacteria that evade antibiotics. #phagesky #phage #microsky #virussky

Metabolic remodelling produces fumarate via the aspartate–argininosuccinate shunt in macrophages as an antiviral defence - Nature Microbiology Viral infection diverts metabolic flux from the urea and TCA cycles to the ASS1-driven AAS shunt for fumarate production. Accumulated fumarate boosts IFNβ production and enhances antiviral immunity by...

Serotype-specific epidemiological patterns of inapparent versus symptomatic primary dengue virus infections: a 17-year cohort study in Nicaragua Our study indicates that case surveillance skews the perceived epidemiological footprint of DENV. We reveal a more complex and intricate pattern of serotype distribution in inapparent infections. The ...

Chantel Abergel: prospected the Russian permafrost and found a giant virus from 30K yrs ago, the Pithovirus, it has a cork in the top of the tegument wall that pops open to initiate viral entry @ausvirologysoc.bsky.social #virussky #giantvirusesarecool #scienceyeah

Giant viruses are fascinating, complex genomes more like bacteria, are taken up by amoeba, and have a cell attachment and entry mechanism like the Ovamorph from Alien @ausvirologysoc.bsky.social #virussky

Please welcome and follow @ausvirologysoc.bsky.social to @bsky.app looking forward to a great week of science at #AVS12 hearing from local and international talent. #virologysky #virussky #scienceyeah

I’ll work on getting us a presence on #VirusSky (I think I just made that # up)
