Hospital sink drains host a range of healthcare-associated pathogens and are frequently linked to outbreaks. In #ClinMicroRev, researchers explores the characteristics and challenges of wastewater biofilms in sinks drains and strategies to combat them: https://t.co/oT1akul8u6

Join us on Dec. 8 from 12-1 p.m. ET for a conversation with Nobel Laureate Dr. Katalin Karikó, where she’ll share insights from her memoir "Breaking Through: My Life in Science"—a story of resilience, discovery and revolutionizing medicine. Register now: https://t.co/y6BLvoYY5y

Viral remnants make up ~8% of the human genome. Using the Integrated Microbial Genomes and Virome database, researchers identified 4,556 viruses carrying gene segments associated with human health across 8 habitat types spanning 76 countries. https://t.co/w6ZbOeAouX #AACJournal

Teaching molecular methods through programs designed to answer real-world questions is rare. This #JMBE articles uses the shark fin trade &, through a problem-based approach, introduces students to molecular methods used in conservation biology & genetics. https://t.co/A0cFLfFSZO

Humans host diverse microbes that play a crucial role in the decomposition process after death. This work pioneers the use of 2bRAD-M sequencing to investigate microbial changes across human organs over increasing postmortem intervals. #JournalSpectrum: https://t.co/fw8jCl9fgQ

Is CepA from Klebsiella pneumoniae a biocide pump? Evidence in #mSphere suggests a metal efflux function for the protein. Get the story: https://t.co/XdYl58hQT4

Researchers measured mutation rates of 3 fermentative lactic acid bacteria across 1,000 generations in oxygen-free conditions, revealing elevated and highly biased genome-wide mutation rates in these species compared to oxygen-using bacteria. #mBio: https://t.co/BOPmUdrZjo

Indigenous knowledge (IK) has long shaped science, yet its impact is often overlooked. How can scientists learn from IK and ensure it is respected and protected? Read the article: https://t.co/i88A6g82v9 #NAHM2025

How do fungi like Candida albicans survive the immune system? This #MMBRJournal article explores how the broad range of chemically reactive species generated by the immune system damage fungal cells, and the mechanisms used by cells to resist this attack. https://t.co/Mb7mpoAoFi

The so-called “extended Asfarviridae”—such as African swine fever virus, faustovirus, kaumoebavirus and pacmanvirus—has long puzzled taxonomists. This #JVirology study shows these lineages are deeply divergent, forming multiple families rather than one. https://t.co/JRlEKGVFW9

🎉 #JVirology is pleased to announce the selectees for our inaugural New Voices in Virology collection! Chosen from 275+ applicants, these early-career scientists stood out for their creative proposals & strong career trajectories. ➡️ Meet the New Voices: https://t.co/J8rKjmTpLL

Chikungunya virus activity surged globally in 2025. Understanding transmission dynamics and factors driving outbreaks is crucial for prevention and control. Learn more in this new article from Bethany Bolling and @RodneyRohde:

Curli amyloid fibers are a key component of the extracellular matrix in E. coli. How is their expression regulated? Research in #JBacteriology suggests multiple stress response factors, global regulators of gene expression and cyclic-di-GMP play a role. https://t.co/4BmquR9HNm

This case report describes a pediatric stem cell transplant patient in whom false-negative CMV PCR results due to viral sequence variation led to delayed CMV therapy initiation, highlighting a potentially serious diagnostic pitfall. #ASMCaseReports: https://t.co/aYrjBqQmDB
