Only 2 weeks left! Share your findings with top experts in AMR and help shape what's next in the fight against antimicrobial resistance at #IMARI27. ⏳ Deadline: Wed., Aug. 19 at 2 p.m. ET 👉 Submit an abstract: asm.social/32d

Image with a calendaGraphic promoting abstract submissions for IMARI (Interdisciplinary Meeting on Antimicrobial Resistance and Innovation). Large headline reads, “Two Weeks Left to Submit Your Abstract.” Text below states, “Abstract Submissions Close: Wednesday, Aug. 19 at 2:00 PM ET.” A purple button says, “Submit Your Abstract Today.” On the right, a calendar labeled “August 2026” highlights and circles August 19 in red. At the bottom, the IMARI logo includes the event details: “January 27-29, 2027 • Las Vegas, NV” and “An ASM and IDSA Collaboration.” Purple and white color scheme with subtle abstract background graphics.

Science alone won't stop an outbreak. Join Elizabeth Talbot and Elizabeth Wrobel for a discussion on the 2026 Bundibugyo Ebola outbreak and how conflict, trust, & access are shaping the response alongside advances in vaccines and diagnostics. 🔗 asm.social/32b

It has been posited that H. pylori's role in gastric cancer is merely to initiate inflammation, and once the later stages of disease develop, it becomes dispensable. However, epidemiological and molecular studies support a different paradigm. #IAIJournal: asm.social/31c

Helicobacter pylori (Hp) infection promotes gastric cancer development. The so-called Correa cascade of gastric cancer development is shown.

Most bacteria carry prophages, i.e., phages that have been integrated into the bacterial genome. When those viruses reactivate, competition between them can have important implications for bacterial survival. Get the full story: asm.org/articles/202...

Phages emerging from a bacterium

In the face of climate change, temperature fluctuations profoundly affect animal physiology & health. Research shows that the gut microbiota, as critical bridge between the host & its environment, helps animals adapt to temperature changes. #AppEnvMicro: asm.social/30D

Schematic overview of microbial interventions for mitigating temperature stress in the gut. The diagram summarizes eight major strategies, including FMT, prebiotics, probiotics, synbiotics, postbiotics, nutritional interventions, phage therapy, and precision editing. Each strategy is paired with its core functional mechanisms, such as microbial reshaping, barrier repair, SCFAs enrichment, anti-inflammatory effects, and gut-brain axis regulation, illustrating how targeted microbial and nutritional approaches can restore intestinal homeostasis and enhance host resilience to thermal challenges.
