Filamentous Phage Shields by Roberto — Elaborate mechanisms that protect bacteria against phage are well known, with CRISPR leading the way. Less familiar but equally fascinating is the fact that, somewhat unexpectedly, phages themselves sometimes offer... Read more > tinyurl.com/yktjj3z7#MicroSky

Congratulations João!!
Antivaxxers are now all over, claiming measles is mild, spreading dangerous misinformation. Please ignore antivax misinformation and look at the data we have from measles infections. Remember that each data point is someone who is loved. Data Misinformation
There is a similar study in E. coli from Eric Cascales lab with the same result, no fitness cost for T6SS. I agree it is not what it could be expected but it is consistent so far. Congratulations for this work 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
