🦠 14 years, one patient, one superbug @yersiniaunit.bsky.social scientists tracked Yersinia enterocolitica mutations as it developed antibiotic resistance over 14 years. Unprecedented view of bacterial evolution under treatment pressure 💊  pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40595576/ #AMR #yersinia

💊 🧬 Insightful dive into in-host bacterial evolution under antimicrobial pressure, a work from @csavin.bsky.social and @pierrelebury.bsky.social in our lab at @pasteur.fr

Long overdue… Congratulations Dr Charline Debruyne @charlinedebruyne.bsky.social for a brilliant PhD Viva !! #proudPI Thanks to the examiners Kimberly Kline @kimingeneva.bsky.social, Javier Pizarro-Cerda @yersiniaunit.bsky.social, Stephan Gottig and Karen Moreau.

When clinical microbiology meets molecular microbiology, great research can unfold ! Thanks to all the contributors of this fantastic story ! @pasteur.fr

1/8 - New in @natcomms.nature.com ! ☣️ Meet Yersinia enterocolitica (Ye) — a lesser-known but still dangerous cousin of Yersinia pestis. We uncover how this invasive pathogen can survive and adapt for 14 years inside a human host under constant antibiotic pressure 👇 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Après que la peste a tout dévasté sur son passage, que devient-elle? Lors de chacune des trois pandémies historiques, un même mécanisme a conduit à la mise en sourdine de sa virulence, ce qui favoriserait sa persistence dans des populations de rongeurs fragmentées. www.lemonde.fr/sciences/art...

La peste sait mettre la pédale douce

CARTE BLANCHE. Une collaboration internationale a mis le doigt sur une modalité génétique d’atténuation de la virulence commune aux trois pandémies de pestes historiques, explique Alice Lebreton, dans...

The plague bacillus became less virulent, prolonging the duration of two major pandemics

Scientists at the Institut Pasteur and McMaster University have discovered that the evolution of a gene in the bacterium that causes bubonic plague, Yersinia pestis, may have prolonged the duration of...

Picking up our publication on Black Death and plague pandemics: here are interesting historical thoughs about the well known but deceptive (not so) medieval plague doctor costume

There is some news about the Black Death... are we taking bets on how the media is going to illustrate it? .....

Two great papers in @science.org this month on the #evolution of #vector-borne #pathogens 1 #Yersinia pestis attenuates virulence over 3 pandemics 2 Ancient #Borrelia genomes trace the rise of louse-borne relapsing fever Fascinating reads (links below)

Great work from our lab at @pasteur.fr in collaboration with @mcmasteruniversity.bsky.social, now published in @science.org , check this out! 👇

New updates on our plague vaccine: we now report that the type 3 secretion system is important for innate and adaptative immunity mechanisms and useful for protection in our live Yersinia pseudotuberculosis producing the F1 pseudocapsule 👇 www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Following criticisms raised concerning our article www.nature.com/articles/s41..., we just confirmed our original conclusions, demonstrating that the rs2549794 variant near the ERAP2 locus displays a strong positive selection signal associated with the Black Death ☠️ www.nature.com/articles/s41...
