Members of the Enterobacteriaceae family produce a diffusible signal factor that modulates enteric pathogen virulence | mSphere
Many bacterial pathogens rely on tightly regulated gene expression to cause disease, making virulence pathways attractive targets for new therapies. Diffusible signal factors (DSFs) are communication molecules that can suppress the virulence of several enteric pathogens, but their sources in the gut have not been well defined. Here, we identify gut-associated bacteria that produce the DSF molecule cis-2-tetradecenoic acid, capable of strongly repressing virulence in multiple enteric pathogens. Additionally, our work substantially expands the distribution of bacteria with the genetic capacity for DSF production, broadening the pool of candidate signal sources and paving the way for future discoveries in microbial communication.

We have a process in our bodies called opsonization, in which cells produce surfactant proteins that coat pathogens, making them highly recognizable & easier for resident immune cells to consume and destroy and holy shite this is just one part of us that developed from a single egg and sperm. 🤯

Bird flu is still here. We just hear very little about it since testing is down. A person who appears to have been infected on a dairy farm in Washington has just died of the disease.
In 2024, this triggered press briefings & policy changes. Nothing, now. (1/2)
