Tuberculosis (TB).

Handwashing is one of the most effective ways to prevent the spread of diseases & save lives. Yet, 800+ million children do not have access to water & soap at school.

On Saturday's Global Handwashing Day & every day, UNICEF works to ensure basic hygiene services . https://www.unicef.org/wash/handwashing

Another for the Max Planck Society! Congratulations to Dr. Svante Pääbo, Director at The Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology for this prestigious achievement. This brings the total number of Nobel Laureates in the Max Planck Society to 30, including five in the last three years alone!

Paleogeneticist Svante Pääbo and his team sequenced a Neanderthal genome for the first time in 2010, and the genome of a Denisovan in 2015. Pääbo has won this year’s Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine "for his discoveries concerning the genomes of extinct hominins and human evolution."

it's Frederick Griffith's birthday 🎂 In 1928 he conducted an experiment involving two strains of Streptococcus pneumoniae. He was the first to reveal the “transforming principle,” which led to the discovery that DNA acts as the carrier of genetic information 🧬

Microbiology Monday: Membrane blebs of bismuth! The metal bismuth (Bi) is used with antibiotics to treat Helicobacter pylori infections. How does H. pylori respond? Researchers found that, upon exposure to the metal, the bacterium removes it from the cell by secreting bismuth-enriched membrane vesicles. The results highlight a strategy through which H. pylori defends against bismuth toxicity. As such, adding inhibitors of membrane vesicle formation could improve bismuth-based therapy.

Data show that people who are fully vaccinated and boosted against COVID-19 have the highest amount of protection against both the Delta and Omicron variants, compared with people who remain unvaccinated. Boosters provide the most protection against infection, hospitalization, and death from COVID-19.

It is important to stay up to date with COVID-19 vaccination to protect yourself and others. Learn more about these data in this week’s COVID Data Tracker Weekly Review: http://bit.ly/CDTweeklyreview
