"La fameuse barre du métro : faut-il vraiment en avoir peur ?" 🦠🤖👽😈💩👺👾 L’excellente émission Parigo s’est penchée sur la question … 🧫 J’y apporte un éclairage microbiologique, loin des idées reçues ⬇️ youtu.be/7jxAd5hDE3E?... (Et ça vaut aussi pour les barres de tramway et de téléphérique😉)

#BacterioMed Colors of the day. Pseudomonas aeruginosa, an absolutely fascinating species. I never get tired of its palette 🎨. A reminder that even the most formidable pathogens can be strikingly beautiful. Science never stops amazing. 🧫

#BacterioMed This Serratia marcescens strain was isolated from the sputum of a patient with chronic lung disease. 🫁 The emergence of a mucoid phenotype is never trivial in clinical microbiology, and synonymous of chronic infection, biofilm, persistence, particularly within the respiratory tract. 🧫

Huge thanks to our lab’s Santa 🎅🎁 This mug is pure magic! 🌈 #BacterioMed Merry Christmas to all microbiologists! 🎄🧫✨ @sfmicrobiologie.bsky.social @jm-sfm.bsky.social

La social-media-dream-team ! Quel plaisir d’être si bien entourée à la #RICAI ! @ricaifrance.bsky.social @spilf.bsky.social @rejif-spilf.bsky.social @jm-sfm.bsky.social @sfmicrobiologie.bsky.social @nathanpsmad.bsky.social

Que fallait-il retenir des nouvelles recommandations 2025 sur la tuberculose ? Claire Andrejak revient sur on intervention à la #RICAI au micro de @hery-arnaud.bsky.social!

La #RICAI 2025 arrive ce lundi 15 décembre ! Notre équipe Social Media sera sur place pour vous faire vivre le congrès : messages clés, photos, vidéos et temps forts – en direct. Aux côtés de @hery-arnaud.bsky.social, Charles Cazanave et @nathanpsmad.bsky.social, l’équipe couvrira cette 45ᵉ édition.

🧫 #BacterioMed Staphylococcus aureus in all its forms. The most observant 👀 will spot 3 distinct morphotypes, including a small-colony variant. Sputum from a #cysticfibrosis patient still requiring antibiotics despite triple therapy. A reminder that the infectious challenge remains very real in CF.

“Your #microbiome test says you’re in dysbiosis”? → Probably bullshit 💩. Our paper shows how unregulated these analyses are. Time for validated, patient-safe diagnostics. Science ≠ marketing. @sfmicrobiologie.bsky.social @jm-sfm.bsky.social @rejif-spilf.bsky.social 👉 doi.org/10.1136/gutj...

#BacterioMed Recurrent Clostridioides difficile infections affect 14%-16% of patients with CDI. Up to 50% of rCDI is caused by ingestion of spores from a new toxin-producing strain. FMT: after 2 or more CDI recurrences and first-line antibiotic treatment. jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

🧬 Nasal bacterial communities co-develop with respiratory immunity early in life, linking dysbiosis to systemic monocyte signature and wheezing by @benjmarsland.bsky.social #Microbiome #Immunity #EarlyLife #RespiratoryHealth www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

🎉 New paper out in @cellpress.bsky.social @isciences.bsky.social! @insermgrandouest.bsky.social 💡Integrating #microbiome data into clinical research → Sharper insights, better innovative therapies. #PrecisionMedicine #RCT 👉https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2589004225020152

#BacterioMed This new WHO report presents a global analysis of antibiotic resistance prevalence/trends, drawing on ~23 million bacteriologically confirmed cases of bloodstream infections, urinary tract infections, gastrointestinal infections, and urogenital gonorrhoea. www.who.int/publications...

🧫 The scars of war also appear in the antibiogram. #BacterioMed A Ukrainian war-injured patient, with a Citrobacter freundii osteitis producing a carbapenemase. The first-line antibiogram offered almost no therapeutic options. #AntimicrobialResistance #WarAndHealth #GlobalHealth

#NobelPrize : Marie Brunkow, Fred Ramsdell et Shimon Sakaguchi reçoivent à l'instant le #Nobel de Médecine et Physiologie pour leurs travaux sur la tolérance immunitaire 🧫

As the years go by, I realize how deeply fortunate I was to grow up surrounded by such a landscape. It quietly sculpts a backbone that lasts a lifetime. #Brittany

Retour sur la #JILB 2025, magnifique édition ! 👏🏼🙏🏻 aux intervenants, notamment Manuel Etienne @churouen.bsky.social, Béatrice Grasland @anses-fr.bsky.social. Heureuse de cette belle dynamique du réseau d’ #infectiologie #microbiologie du littoral breton 🌊! @rejif-spilf.bsky.social @jm-sfm.bsky.social

✨ Just for the sheer beauty of bacteria: the metallic, iridescent sheen of #Pseudomonas aeruginosa. 🧫 A pathogen… but also an artist of light and color when grown in culture. #BacterioMed #ScienceArt @sfmicrobiologie.bsky.social @jm-sfm.bsky.social @ricaifrance.bsky.social

🫁 Our latest paper: Sputum sampling is a reliable alternative to nasopharyngeal swabs for virological diagnosis of respiratory infections in #cysticfibrosis.

🫁 Pulmonary #microbiota matters! New article coordinated by Guillard CHU Reims. Stable #COPD Extended culture + 16S NGS 🧬 With Center for Biome Analysis and Microbiota (CBAM) CHU Brest, as partner for #microbiome analysis. Strong recognition of its expertise! 🔗 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

"Ce n'est pas sale !" #Bactéries www.brut.media/fr/videos/fa...

#BacterioMed Uncommon antibiotype for Citrobacter farmeri, showing a hyper OXY-like profile. C. farmeri belongs to the Citrobacter amalonaticus group. ⚠️ Beware: immunochromatographic tests may misidentify it as CTX-M. This resistance in C. farmeri is chromosomally encoded. doi.org/10.1016/j.di...

#GramArt Nothing bacterial here. Just the quiet beauty of a blood smear, where staining artifacts sketch out something close to art. #BacterioMed

#BacterioMed Bacteremia caused by Lactobacillus plantarum (Lactiplantibacillus plantarum) in a patient who underwent digestive surgery. So glad to have had early identification right from the Gram stain: crucial for guiding probabilistic antibiotic therapy, given this species’ resistance profile.

Researchers identify bacteria in the maternal gut microbiome linked to a higher risk of preterm birth. www.cell.com/cell-host-mi... @cp-cellhostmicrobe.bsky.social #WestLakeUniversity Ju-Sheng Zheng & colleagues

#BacterioMed The mucoidy of P. aeruginosa can be seen right from the Gram for expert eyes. Note the thick gangue surrounding Gram-negative bacilli: it corresponds to the exopolysaccharides produced by the bacteria. It's easy to see why antibiotics are not very effective at this stage of 🫁infection.

The call of the ocean.

🫁🦠 [Article] Preuve de concept pour une phagothérapie inhalée ciblant l'infection chronique à P. aeruginosa chez 9 patients atteints de mucoviscidose. Bonne tolérance, effet antibactérien, délivrance efficace via nébulisation, analyse du #microbiote pulmonaire en sus 👏 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

I'm desperately looking in this article for the rationale that allowed clinicians to treat Streptococcus, Veillonella, Rothia (without even having the species distinction) based on 16S metabarcoding data. publications.ersnet.org/content/erj/...

Gram negative / Gram positive #BacterioMed

#BacterioMed The consequences of the war in 🇺🇦 can also be seen in health terms, with the accelerated spread of antibiotic resistance. Strain of K. pneumoniae producing carbapenemase (KPC) isolated from a severely wounded and infected Ukrainian soldier (bone infection from war wounds). #CPE

#BacterioMed It's spring in the Petri dishes too! 🧫🌼 A magnificent group B streptococcus producing its carotenoid pigment 🥕(grenadaene) aerobically and on chocolate agar.

🇺🇦

#BacterioMed Lovely metallic iridescent sheen of #Pseudomonas aeruginosa. First described in 1964! Back then, it didn’t take much to get published in Nature ;)

#BacterioMed Mauvaise rencontre du samedi matin. Tous aux ABRI !

Féerie matinale. #Brest

C'est magnifique ! Bravo #XVdeFrance 🇫🇷 ! #TournoiDes6Nations #FRAECO

#BacterioMed #CysticFibrosis Investigation of #Mycobacterium_abscessus transmission. WGS revealed dominant circulating clones in 🫁 and🚰 isolates. Epidemiological links supported the role of drinking water as a reservoir for Mabs. www-atsjournals-org.proxy.insermbiblio.inist.fr/doi/10.1164/...

#Macrophages literally eat and live of dead #bacteria, while live bacteria stimulate inflammation. 🦠 viability is sensed by an mTORC1 metabolic switch. Superb tour-de-force study @nature.com by the Garaude lab in Bordeaux, with help from @sanderlab.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s41...

#BacterioMed Looks like the normobiosis is finally going to be characterised. Data from 45,424 human gut #microbiome allowed to define a health-associated core keystone (HACK) index. www.cell.com/cell-reports...

Remember, EuropePMC is actually better than #PubMed because it includes ALL preprints in search results, not just those including NIH-funded research. europepmc.org

#BacterioMed The most beautiful #Pseudomonas aeruginosa … of the day. Small patches = metabolic autolysis or prophage lysis?
