Toot.Cat

On the internet, everyone knows you're a cat — and that's totally okay.

Mastodon hosted on toot.cat
A decade ago, we showed that >50% of plasmids lack protein coding genes for conjugation. Yet, they move. How? We now suggest that most plasmids in E coli and S aureus engage in conjugation. Many of them highjack components of plasmids that highjack themselves other plasmids to conjugate between bacteria. And these elements have the highest densities of antibiotic resistance genes!
Great work led by @M_AresArroyo now out!

Having now been on #Mastodon for 1 month, a few observations:

- Mastodon makes me realize how much the #Twitter algorithm maximized user outrage to boost engagement for profit. Gross. Here, my feed is interesting & supportive.

- There's a culture of kindness - at least so far. It's extremely appealing & should be normalized on & offline.

- Beyond reactions to toots, people share songs, poetry & ask great questions. I can't remember the last time I found social media to be fun.

We're critically lacking clinical microbiome studies from non-European populations, which negatively impacts the precise understanding of disease.

In this 16S-based study, the microbiota of Pakistani adults (n=94), a population known to have extremely high prevalence of #T2D , is described.

▶️ Prevalence of Atopobiaceae seems unique to the Pakistani pop.
▶️ Pakistanis w/T2D have different microbial signatures than other pop. (high abundance of Libanicoccus/Parolsenella)

What's not to like in studying the #microbiome from virtually the entire species of a critically endangered animal? The kākāpō recovery team strikes again in a recent preprint.

Interesting attempts to link microbiota diversity to host genotype variation too. Hopefully impactful for future conservation.

It's been described in the past, but I'm always a bit astonished to see that sub-gingival #pathobionts 🦷 associate with #myocardial infarction risk 💔.

Testing 160 acute MI patients with varying degrees of clinical #periodontitis enrolled in this cross-sectional study, authors link increased abundance of subgingival #Porphyromonas gingivalis and overexpression of virulence factors to worse cardiac outcomes and CAD burden.

Paper: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-022-19154-z

Myocardial infarction risk is increased by periodontal pathobionts: a cross-sectional study - Scientific Reports

To establish the role of periodontal pathobionts as a risk factor for myocardial infarction, we examined the contribution of five periodontal pathobionts and their virulence genes’ expressions to myocardial injury (Troponin-I) and coronary artery disease burden (SYNTAX-I scores) using hierarchical linear regression. Pathobiont loads in subgingival-plaques and intra-coronary-thrombi were compared. Troponin-I release increased with one 16S rRNA gene copy/ng DNA of Porphyromonas gingivalis (β = 6.8 × 10–6, 95% CI = 1.1 × 10–7–2.1 × 10–5), one-fold increased expressions of fimA (β = 14.3, 95% CI = 1.5–27.1), bioF-3 (β = 7.8, 95% CI = 1.1–12.3), prtH (β = 1107.8, 95% CI = 235.6–2451.3), prtP (β = 6772.8, 95% CI = 2418.7–11,126.9), ltxA (β = 1811.8, 95% CI = 217.1–3840.8), cdtB (β = 568.3, 95% CI = 113.4–1250.1), all p < 0.05. SYNTAX-I score increased with one 16S rRNA gene copy/ng DNA of Porphyromonas gingivalis (β = 3.8 × 10–9, 95% CI = 3.6 × 10–10-1.8 × 10–8), one-fold increased expressions of fimA (β = 1.2, 95% CI = 1.1–2.1), bioF-3 (β = 1.1, 95% CI = 1–5.2), prtP (β = 3, 95% CI = 1.3–4.6), ltxA (β = 1.5, 95% CI = 1.2–2.5), all p < 0.05. Within-subject Porphyromonas gingivalis and Tannerella forsythia from intra-coronary-thrombi and subgingival-plaques correlated (rho = 0.6, p < 0.05). Higher pathobiont load and/or upregulated virulence are risk factors for myocardial infarction. Trial registration: ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT04719026.

Just told by a French friend: "You can tell much about a person from which of Satie's Gnossienne piece they prefer." 😌

(I'm a n°5 type of guy apparently 😅)

@MitoRem my bad! An unfortunate slip!

Interesting finding. But more research needed.

"We found that one previously unknown species of bacteria was present in the intestines of around 20% of people who were either diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis or produce the antibodies that cause the disease."

Newly discovered species of bacteria in the microbiome may be a culprit behind rheumatoid arthritis

A new species of bacteria that doesn’t normally live in the gut may trigger an immune response so strong that it spreads to the joints.
