Outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) secreted by Bacteroides can be an important mechanism of host-pathogen interactions in the colon by reducing CFTR Cl⁻ secretion; the effects on CFTR Cl⁻ secretion depend on the strain of Bacteroides fragilis. #IAIJournal: asm.social/2Y7

Thank you for being part of ASM Microbe 2026! Save the date for ASM Microbe 2027, taking place June 22–25 in Chicago. Got big ideas? Session proposals open tomorrow—help shape next year’s program and push the microbial sciences forward. #ASMicrobe asm.social/2XY.
The #ASMicrobe Science & Society Lecture tackled a big question: if phage therapy can save lives, why isn’t it widely available yet? Colleen Kraft moderated, with Stephanie Strathdee and panelists highlighting the path from breakthrough science to real-world care.
Phage therapy is a powerful tool against AMR—but access remains limited. This year’s Science & Society Lecture features keynote speaker Dr. Steffanie Strathdee and a panel discussion on scaling phage therapy into routine care. Don’t miss it! #ASMicrobe

It's been a fantastic (and busy!) @asm.org Microbe and the 3 co-located Unit meetings! Delighted to be working with Glen McGugan and the Mechanism Discovery advisory council to chart the future of fundamental microbial science. 🦠🔬
T minus ~75 minutes until @markowenmartin.bsky.social & I ate live with the #MattersMicrobial podcast in the ASM studio in the poster hall. Come listen to me yap about #PhycoSymbiosis & stay for some stickers.

Exclusive: Alleging a “pattern of deception” in virus studies done over a decade ago, the U.S. has proposed a ban on federal funding to a prominent coronavirus researcher whose more recent work has incited unproven accusations that he helped start the #COVID19 pandemic. https://scim.ag/3R7nQx1
HHS memo says Ralph Baric had a “pattern of deception” in describing virus studies long before pandemic
