Why do #bacterial species' #TransformationRates vary so dramatically? @epcrocha @labXC &co show that #Legionella & #Acinetobacter transformation rates evolve by sudden changes, likely caused by conflicts between #MGEs and the host bacterium #PLOSBiology https://plos.io/4dMviTR

Large outbreak of #Legionella underway in #Melbourne , Being attributed to #coolingtowers. Seems a bit unusual to me happening in #Australia winter season. https://www.msn.com/en-au/health/other/legionnaires-disease-outbreak-in-melbourne-continues-to-grow/ar-BB1r3kTZ
@MHLoppy
Thankfully, we don't have very many "immunosuppressed patients" here as hardly anyone got #COVID19 so, you know. It's all fine.

This week the #DPG-Spring Meeting 2024 will take place in Berlin. The JLB will present two posters on our current topics tomorrow from 6 pm. On the one hand, Philipp will present results on improving the sensitivity for microring resonators of photonic #biosensors. On the other hand, Madeline will show an approach for the microfluidic separation of live and dead #Legionella using #dielectrophoresis. Come by: TUB, Eugene Wigner building, 1st floor.

Os dois balneários da Escola Secundária de Gondomar, encerrados desde dezembro devido à deteção da bactéria ‘legionella’ SPP, foram hoje reabertos após ter sido conseguida a terceira contra-análise negativa, revelou à Lusa fonte daquela escola do distrito do Porto.

Warte auf die Abnahme der Legionellenprüfing.
Aus gutem Grund weiß ich, dass vorheriges Wasserlaufen eher suboptimal, für die aussagekräftige Probeentnahme, ist.
Ich sitze das jetzt aus!

'RishGPT veers between dull and delusional in #ToryConference speech -'
'He liked to treat others as he would like to be treated himself. Presumably that means he likes being abused by Suella, given #legionella and deported to #Rwanda. Each to his own.'

It seems that the #BibbyStockholm has now tested 'satisfactory' for the (non)presence of #legionella & repairs have been undertaken to the plumbing...
We can now expect #SuellaBraverman to get the cattle-prod out (again) to force #migrants onto the barge.
The inhumanity of the #Tories continues
