🚨 New from DeMeules & collaborators at @fredhutch.org Fredricks' lab, describing 🦠 GI mono-domination in post HCT recipients & bacteremia.

*IP teams - Data suggests that many reported CoNS events from mucosal barrier/gut in these high risk pts. Important for CLABSI definitions

Thanks @microbiologysociety.org for promoting our work! Umbribacter vaginalis is also associated with increased risk for HIV acquisition in women. Bacterial colonies resemble tiny micro droplets of water. One cannot measure growth using optical density. These tiny bacteria are very ghost-like!
Pinch, punch, it's Microbe of the Month 🦠 Introducing Umbribacter vaginalis!
