Congratulations to Kathryn Rahlwes and the rest of the team on the new preprint from our group. We identify USP15, a deubiquitinase, as a key brake on macrophage immunity to Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb). Remove it, and macrophages control Mtb far more effectively.

Deubiquitinase USP15 restricts autophagy and macrophage immunity to Mycobacterium tuberculosis

Autophagy enables macrophages to degrade intracellular Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), and this defense depends on E3 ubiquitin ligases such as PARKIN and SMURF1, which tag Mtb-associated structures...

🦠💨 Why do some TB strains make you cough more? Cough isn’t just an annoying sign and symptom of active tuberculosis - it’s one way that Mycobacterium tuberculosis spreads from person to person. 1/14

Measles in Texas: waning vaccination and a stark warning for public health

In late January, 2025, a measles outbreak primarily affecting unvaccinated school-aged children emerged in Gaines County, Texas, USA, near the New Mexico border. As of March 7, 2025, 228 measles cases have been confirmed—198 in Texas and 30 in neighbouring New Mexico—primarily in children and adolescents under 18 years. So far, there have been 23 hospitalisations and two fatalities.1,2 Additionally, since the start of the outbreak, measles cases have been detected in multiple states across the USA.

Our finale (to give us strength doing HIV/ID work in Texas 2025):

"I will survive,
Long as I know how to love I know I'll stay alive,
I've got my life to live
And all my love to give and
I will survive!"

One of my approaches when we have residents/students/pharmD residents is to mention a key article/study and then have one of the trainees (not the busy ID fellow!) review and give a brief summary (3-5 mins) the next day.

Everybody on team learns and find it more engaging.
