#Drumpf era #CDC has stopped monitoring for several factors it once tracked for foodborne illness outbreaks. As of July 1, a critical surveillance program is ordered to only monitori for two pathogens instead of the previous eight.
Currently only two #pathogens: #salmonella and #Shiga toxin-producing E. coli are being tracked federally, now ignored are #campylobacter, #cyclospora, #listeria, #shigella, #vibrio and #Yersinia.
En su libro Bacterias por todas partes, Lucia Almagro nos cuenta que no todas las #bacterias son igual de nocivas.
Por ejemplo, mientras que se necesitan 100 millones de #Vibrio #cholerae para sufrir el #cólera, con tan solo 200 bacterias del género #Shigella nos pillamos una diarrea de aúpa.

It’s one of those calls no one wants to make, or receive. "Doc, I… I’ve got really bad diarrhea, and I think there’s blood." Your heart sinks a little when you hear that. #amoebicdysentery #bacillarydysentery #bloodydiarrhea #dysentery #Entamoebahistolytica #gastrointestinalinfection #Shigella
Many intracellular bacteria breach vacuolar membranes to replicate in the host cytosol, but the precise mechanisms remain unclear. This study shows that the human pathogen Shigella flexneri uses its type three secretion system to physically damage endomembranes through mechanoporation to initiate cytosolic access.

Meet Dr Vincenzo Torraca
@VinTorraca , 1st author of new paper from
Serge Mostowy's lab at #LSHTM that analysed the transcriptome of #zebrafish larvae infected with #Shigella flexneri to discover host susceptibility factors

ABSTRACT. First Person is a series of interviews with the first authors of a selection of papers published in Disease Models & Mechanisms, helping researchers promote themselves alongside their papers. Vincenzo Torraca is first author on ‘ Transcriptional profiling of zebrafish identifies host factors controlling susceptibility toShigella flexneri’, published in DMM. Vincenzo conducted the research described in this article while he was a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Postdoctoral Fellow at Imperial College London, UK and an ISSF (Institutional Strategic Support Fund)-Wellcome Fellow at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, UK, where most of the work was carried out in Prof. Serge Mostowy's lab. He has just started his own group at King's College London, investigating host-pathogen interactions and antimicrobial resistance for globally relevant bacterial pathogens, such as Shigella and E. coli, using zebrafish as an in vivo model.
