Just out in @sciencemagazine, we report that phage PROMOTE bacterial infections by triggering maladaptive anti-viral responses in human cells and suppressing anti-bacterial ones. Congrats to Jolien Sweere and @PRSecor! science.sciencemag.org/content/363/64…

The finding could explain why the body tolerates some microbes ― and lead to better treatments for chronic infections. by Sara Reardon

Microbes/viruses interact to drive disease 👉 Here, a #bacteriophage (Pf) that infects bacterial pathogen p. aeruginosa (Pa)☝️promoted Pa virulence (in wounds) by triggering maladaptive anti-viral responses in human cells + suppressing bacterial clearance: science.sciencemag.org/content/363/64…
In addition 👉 1. The data suggest that a natural (unmodified) #bacteriophage may be able to produce mRNA within human cells☝️2. Consistent with a pathogenic role for Pf #phage, a vaccine against Pf phage protected against P. aeruginosa wound infections in mice
Simple summary 👉 This marks the first time a #bacteria-infecting #virus, otherwise known as a #bacteriophage...has been observed inducing the immune system to mount an antiviral response and, in doing so, causing it to ignore the bacterial infection: google.com/amp/s/medicalx…

When I say #phage, do you think bacterial parasite? Superbug slayer (👀 @chngin_the_wrld)? #PhageTherapy?

Just out in @sciencemagazine, @bollyky and I find phage PROMOTE bacterial infection by directly triggering a maladaptive anti-viral immune response.

science.sciencemag.org/content/363/64…
ABSTRACT: Pseudomonas aeruginosa (Pa) is a multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacterium commonly found in health care settings. Pa infections frequently result in considerable morbidity and mortality.
We find that a type of temperate filamentous bacteriophage that infects and integrates into Pa is associated with chronic human wound infections. Likewise, wounds in mice colonized with phage-infected Pa were more severe and longer-lasting than those colonized by Pa alone.

“Lanny Wiles saved the prominent seat for Veselnitskaya at the 6/14/16 hearing on “U.S. Policy Toward Putin’s Russia”

"Former Florida Trump campaign chair Susie Wiles talks Russia scandal"
"Lanny Wiles, the husband of Florida Trump Campaign Chair Susie Wiles, saved a seat for a Russian lawyer at the heart of the current scandal involving Russia, the President’s son, son-in-law, and campaign manager."
"Florida Politics caught up with Susie Wiles on Sunday afternoon, when she explained that her husband was doing non-profit work with an American firm involved in Russian baby ADOPTION, but she could not recall the name."

@BiLLYKHAERUDIN @Sarah_Pndj 1. Betul sekali...dari perjalanan keliling jawa sumatra, rasa militan terasa sekali... Mereka punya metode dan terstruktur dgn bagus.
Padahal kader parpol gurem dan organisasi yg dibekukan itu yg masif kampanye. #report.
@BiLLYKHAERUDIN @Sarah_Pndj 2. Isu isu yg dibangun bukan hanya yg wow di tingkat atas, tapi juga layer 2 dan 3.
Medsos sekelas twtr dan fb hanya sarana blow up nasional.
Di tingkat menengah mereka pakai WA dan sejenisnya.
Di tingkat bawah kumpul2 ngopi.
#report.
@BiLLYKHAERUDIN @Sarah_Pndj 3. Bahan bahan isu sangat banyak, hampir setiap hari grup grup WA dibanjiri narasi yang begitu bombastis dengan alur cerita yg beraneka warna.
Sementara dari kubu petahana, copy paste dari deny, eko atau teddy saja pada malas broadcast di WA.

#report.

 This young man is Muhammad Sharif Badwan. He was killed East of #Gaza City at the Karni crossing after being shot in the chest by #IDF gunfire on Friday afternoon. #Israel
2/5
 Many news sites refer to Badwan as either a protestor or a demonstrator who was shot and killed by the #IDF. The photo on the left, from the DailyMail, states Badwan is a protestor. The photo on the right from CGTN states Badwan is a protestor as well.
3/5
 The problem is Badwan wasn’t there to protest in the way most people think. This video was taken Friday afternoon at the Karni crossing where Palestinians were clashing w/ #IDF soldiers. At the end, you can see Badwan being evacuated after getting shot by the #IDF.
