This study developed an animal model for chronic Pseudomonas aeruginosa infections in cystic fibrosis, combining in vitro and mouse models to better reflect bacterial physiology and challenge long-term colonization assumptions. #MicroSkywww.pnas.org/doi/abs/10.1...
Laboratory models are central to microbiology research, advancing the understanding of bacterial physiology by mimicking natural environments, from...
MDR infections pose a global threat. This study shows phage therapy's efficacy against P. aeruginosa is influenced by lung structure and immune response. #MicroSkyjournals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/...
Phage therapy is increasingly employed as a compassionate treatment for severe infections caused by multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria. However, the mixed outcomes observed in larger clinical studies ...

Biofilm models are evolving but need better evaluation to enhance their relevance in medical research. www.nature.com/articles/s41...
In this Perspective, Rumbaugh and Whiteley explore the advantages and limitations of current medical biofilm models and outline a framework for quantitatively assessing model accuracy.
Climate change worsens coral diseases, threatening reef ecosystems. Research on new pathogens, genetic resistance, and treatments is vital for conservation. www.annualreviews.org/content/jour...
Mycobacteroides abscessus strains show genetic diversity in cystic fibrosis patients. A study identified 102 genes linked to more pathogenic strains. journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/...#MicroSky
A primary challenge in treating bacterial infections is the wide spectrum of disease and genetic variability across bacterial strains. This is particularly evident in Mycobacteroides abscessus (MAB), an emerging pathogen affecting people with cystic ...
Grapes for wine production involve yeast fermentation. Older vines have more fungal load, and native yeasts may enhance wine flavors. journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/...
Understanding microbial functions during wine fermentation, particularly the role of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, is crucial for enhancing wine quality. While commercially available S. cerevisiae strains are commonly used, indigenous strains can offer unique ...
