Systematic identification of Salmonella T6SS effectors uncovers diverse new families and lipid-targeting activities

During microbial warfare, bacteria deploy toxins to inhibit or kill competitors. This study reveals lipid-targeting antibacterial toxins and previously unknown toxin domains within Salmonella T6SS effectors, broadening our understanding of enzymatic diversity and the molecular strategies bacteria use to compete in the gut.

Ditch the antibacterial soap this cold and flu season

You still need to wash your hands with soap and warm water though.

Y'all, this is an ex-Californian-current-Floridian talking... There's SO MUCH in #flood water that is so bad for you - including in many states - fauna (#snakes, #gators, #pythons - yes, I know: snakes but HUGE!) that can do major damage to you!

Stay out of #floodwater - and if you HAD to wade through it - take a shower and use #antibacterial soap or body-wash!
