#Staphylococcus secretes toxins such as PVL to kill immune cells, incl macrophages. This study shows that PVL binds anionic #phospholipids under acidic conditions, targeting lysosomal & mitochondrial #membranes (but not plasma membrane) to promote bacterial escape @PLOSBiology plos.io/3RvcArh

Left: WT and SGMS1 KO THP-1 macrophages were treated with PVL (62.5 ng/ml) and LysoTracker Red (red, acidic organelles) and Draq7 (blue, dead cells) fluorescence imaged over time. Yellow arrows indicate cells that lose LysoTracker Red signals prior to Draq7. Scale bar is 50 μm. Right: WT and SGMS1 KO THP-1 macrophages were treated with PVL (62.5 ng/ml) for the indicated time and MitoTracker TMRM (red) and Draq7 (blue) fluorescence imaged. Yellow arrows indicate the loss of TMRM signals prior to Draq7 uptake. Scale bar is 50 μm.

These are the 20 most-studied #bacteria — majority ignored
Model microbes such as Escherichia coli hog scientists’ attention, leaving most known bacteria with few publications devoted to them.
Study of over 43,000 bacterial species found #Ecoli dominates with 21% of all publications, followed by human pathogens like #Staphylococcus aureus. Microbes crucial for human health and Earth's ecosystems remain largely unexplored, Univ of Michigan biologist Paul Jensen reported.

Here's one for those who hate needles. A common skin bacterium can be used as a means of delivering vaccines by merely rubbing them on the surface of your skin.

#Stability of #influenza A virus in #droplets and #aerosols is heightened by the presence of commensal respiratory #bacteria, J Virol.: journals.asm.org/doi/full/10.1

#Staphylococcus aureus and #Streptococcus pneumoniae were the most stabilizing compared to other commensals at equivalent density, indicating the composition of an individual’s respiratory #microbiota is a previously unconsidered factor influencing expelled virus persistence.
