@christophermccrory.bsky.social from @thedohertyinst.bsky.social explains how H. pylori leverages membrane vesicles for horizontal gene transfer. Incredible insights into microbial survival strategies! 🦠🧬📩

Really happy to see this work out! Super fun project with a great team. For me the highlight was that we finally were able to show the O-linked glycosylation systems of H. pylori/C. jejuni are general glycosylation systems which target non-flagellin proteins (suggest >10 years ago by click chem).

Monoclonal antibodies against pseudaminic acid (Pse) – present in bacterial LPS, capsular polysaccharides, and glycoproteins – have been developed that enable Pse glycoproteome profiling and show therapeutic potential #glycotime www.nature.com/articles/s41...

🚨 Fungi + viruses + mammalian lungs? Buckle up! Our new paper in @natmicrobiol.nature.com uncovers the story of a deadly fungus and its gnarly viral hitchhiker — and how this duo may change how we diagnose & treat fungal disease 🍄🫁🚨 doi.org/10.1038/s415... ⬇️

To what extent can we predict future pathogenic #microbes? @acasadevall1.bsky.social discusses why probabilistic predictions are difficult, but not impossible. 🧪 plos.io/3EXieQp
