Un an après Stand Up for Science, défendons l’université et les sciences, piliers de la démocratie Le mouvement Stand Up for Science, issu de la mobilisation inédite des universitaires français en solidarité avec leurs homologues américains, rappelle que les campus français aussi sont malmenés par ...

Aujourd’hui, @standupforscience.bsky.social fête son anniversaire. Signataire de la tribune "un an après".

Une mobilisation mondiale autour d'une évidence qui ne devrait jamais être discutée : la science n’est pas une opinion. C’est un pilier de la démocratie. 🧵👇🏻

Meet Molly Ingersoll, microbiologist & immunologist.
Her work shows how women and men can respond very differently to infections, and why sex-specific treatments are urgently needed.
She also speaks up about the invisible hurdles women face in science.
Follow her here @immunobladder.bsky.social

so great to see these novel great visualisation tools attached to BIGSdb - thanks Keith for your swift developer power 👍

➡️ preprint from the lab! Bacteria have loads of antiviral defences in their mobile genetic elements (MGEs). So when MGEs move between bacteria, the defences move with them, generating a fast turnover of defences in bacteria. But what about the antiviral defence turnover in the MGEs themselves? 🤔

Improving the detection of #diphtheria toxin production by Corynebacterium diphtheriae and C. ulcerans, our latest work @pasteur.fr is out: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

A novel version of diphtOscan is available at gitlab.pasteur.fr/BEBP/diphtos.... v2.2.0 makes it easy to install on local computers. diphtOscan scans genomes and extracts information including #diphtheria toxin and antimicrobial resistance genes, biovar, species and subtyping information.

Wikipedia is needed now more than ever, 25 years on The online encyclopedia is an antidote to an increasingly poisoned information ecosystem. Researchers should help to nourish it.

I couldn’t agree more! Help support Wikipedia.
It has been a pillar of high-quality knowledge sharing since the early web, and it’s more relevant than ever in the fuzzy age of AI

Carbapenem resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates at a tertiary hospital in Cape Town, South Africa, are dominated by specific local clones rather than previously described international lineages Author summary Carbapenem resistant K. pneumoniae (CRKP) have emerged as a cause of hospital and community acquired infections, posing a significant threat to public health, and have hence been listed...

By analysing 336 KpSC genomes from human, animal, and environmental sources, we reveal strong population compartmentalisation. Environmental sublineages (farms) are highly diverse and persistent, while human-associated strains (clinical and WWTP) show fast turnover and multidrug resistance profiles.

I’m really happy to share this work, which wouldn’t have been possible without the contributions of many, especially @sylvainbrisse.bsky.social and @crodrigues87.bsky.social from @pasteur.fr, and Elodie Barbier and Pascal Piveteau from @inrae-france.bsky.social.

A metabolic atlas of the Klebsiella pneumoniae species complex reveals lineage-specific metabolism and capacity for intra-species co-operation Why are there so many co-circulating Klebsiella pneumoniae clones? Using genomics and large-scale metabolic modelling of >7000 isolates, this study identifies structured, clone-specific metabolic spec...

Absolutely stoked to have this published in @plosbiology.org

We looked at the metabolism of #Klebsiella pneumoniae 🦠🧫. We not only demonstrated lineage-specific #metabolism, but that lineages can cross-feed and support each other.

The wide adoption of cgMLST LIN code strain taxonomies has the potential to result in a universal approach for standardized bacterial genotyping that could greatly enhance microbial biodiversity studies, international genomic epidemiology and infectious disease surveillance

Data confidentiality is an important barrier to rapid response to outbreaks. As LIN codes are sufficient to define strain identity across countries, they provide a solution for cross-border collaborative genomic surveillance investigations, without the need to share genomic sequences themselves
