This week is World #AntimicrobialResistance Awareness week

To mark the occasion, Dr Scott-Dearing reflects on her @natcomms.nature.com paper published in January, noting the setbacks and progress made in tackling #AMR since
World AMR Awareness Week call to action: Patient and public involvement and engagement to improve impact on antimicrobial resistance – the time to act is now
A step change is required in citizen awareness of the global AMR health crisis and, crucially, public involvement in tackling it. The global context presents new challenges but real-world examples show what is possible and an historic moment approaches, that we can leverage for positive action.

Selection and transmission of the gut #microbiome alone, without changes in the host genome, can shift mammalian behaviour

Selection and transmission of the gut microbiome alone can shift mammalian behavior - Nature Communications
Here, the authors present evidence that the gut microbiome alone, without changes in the host genome, can shape how animals respond to selection, identifying a bacterium and its metabolite that independently reduce mouse locomotion.

Thanks D-BIOL for highlighting our recent @natcomms.nature.com paper on intracellular Salmonella virulence. We hope these strains will be a useful resource for the field!
Intracellular Salmonella require T3SS effectors to cause infection. A study by the Hardt lab @ethz.ch ETH Zürich gives new insights into which bacterial factors are critical for infection in vivo, and provides new tools for researchers to further explore. More: biol.ethz.ch/en/news-and-...

Arsenic-rich globules are thought to be evidence of early #microbial life. Here, the authors show how microbialite #arsenic enrichment patterns vary with microbial activity and environmental conditions, reinforcing arsenic’s value as a #biosignature.

In mice yes: this type of “one-sided” selection experiment has been done in plants (with positive outcomes) and was tried in flies (no effect). So this is the second time it’s been tried in an animal and first time in a mammal @suzukilab.bsky.social 🦠🧫

RNA replicon vaccination confers long-lasting protection against H5N1 avian influenza in 23 zoo bird species - Nature Communications
Highly pathogenic avian influenza H5N1 viruses cause mass mortality in birds and have infected over 50 mammalian species, including humans. Here, the authors report the use of a propagation-defective vesicular stomatitis virus replicon vaccine in captive birds, which provides protection against lethal H5N1 challenge.
