That's a big pb for phages (and AB)
Life adapts
Nothing will stop that
On the other side, from what I see, hygiene is often forgotten in hospitals
We have to attack pathogens from all sides : phages, AB and hygiene

And the time needed to write all those grants requests...

Right... I've been too far
Perhaps France is also a special case. As you say, quite hierarchical & frozen due to paucity of funds

Yet I'm always surprised when someone is PI on 10 papers (or more) per year. Can't imagine working meaningfully on 10 projects+ all other asides every year

Few ppl remember maths beyond linear equations a couple of years after university
Economists are no different
It's a big deal to ask them. They are not mathematicians
Not enough high paying jobs for mathematicians btw

I never understood how PIs that spend 5 min here & there in meetings can have their names on the paper as last author
In 99% of cases their contribution is not meaningful to the project. They are rewarded for being gatekeepers, life-or-death by funds allocation, but many times not by science

Une question de facturation ?

Like for most engineering protections solutions
But often forgotten
Thank you for pointing it!
And pls thank your sister

What would be chilling is compliance without a good legal fight, item by item

Five countries report new polio cases The reports include 3 wild poliovirus cases in Pakistan.

For bacteria, yes

Always the case
Lots of blood shed for ending Algerian independence war
And I'm not even talking about revolution
Even today we regularly have dead & maimed

Well, you might be right on current protests
On past protests, I think that Vietnam, civil rights, & a few other movements were somewhat successful

I believe that as "reforms" will bite we will see more
I just can't fathom how much misery will fall on ppl with medicaid/food stamps/research/etc cuts

Very glad to see that HAI are being addressed! This is a good step towards understanding transmission

Transmission of Staphylococcus aureus in the neonatal intensive care unit predicts invasive infection Background Staphylococcus aureus is a leading cause of healthcare-associated infection and is one of the most common pathogens causing serious invasive infection in the neonatal intensive care unit (N...

Excited to share our work with @pjplanet.bsky.social and @ahmedmicrobes.bsky.social tracking Staph aureus transmission across the NICU using genomics!!

This study was co-led by the amazing @qianxuan.bsky.social and Lakshmi Srinivasan, and made possible by the @centermicrobialmed.bsky.social

Seen from Europe, there seems to be a very muted pushback in the US against the very stupid rules being made
Is it only an impression of general acceptance, or is there a fight brewing?

Dans tous les cas, c'est le politique qui décide des lois, mais qui se plaint de devoir les lire/comprendre/appliquer...
C'est dans tous les domaines. Et c'est un problème de politiques

Si on mettait autant dans la protection COVID que dans la protection routière sce serait un miracle
Le problème est cependant plus large. La protection contre les Infections Associées aux Soins est un vrai parent pauvre -11000 morts/ an avant 2020, dans un silence assourdissant

Not into conspiracies but other sources are much less categoric

Poisoning over 4 wks & 180km would be a "fantastic" case study
If index patient died after eating bat it's quite interesting
Everything is unclear & "poisoning" is a scenario at this time

Total respect for the ppl on the ground
My issue is more higher up. It would not be the first time info changed substantially between actual & reported to the press. Lots of politics up there

Bonjour, voici des alt. Européennes à pas mal d’outils différents :

Has anyone seen some report substantiating this or is it just an idea in the air or a smokescreen?

ASM stands firm in its commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion, as such efforts are critical to advancing the microbial sciences for everyone. Read our statement: asm.org/Press-Releas...

Pourquoi la propagation ralentirait elle ? Rien n'est fait pour ralentir la maladie. Pas une seule mesure. Et les tests ne sont pas une mesure de prévention mais un outil statistique

They took the clue from their European counterparts, in a bad way
In France grants typically have 8-12% overhead max, and this is too low

Les débats claqués au sol comme celà, c'est pour détourner des vrais problèmes

🥁Suivi PCR Grippe / COVID / VRS de mon labo, 4è semaine janvier 2025 :

🔴 Grippe
Toujours aussi haut

🟠VRS
Circulation toujours présente, surtout des clusters en EHPAD / SSR

🟠COVID
Circulation toujours présente, en ville et en établissements de soin

The publish metric is really bad
Apart from reproductibility there is a huge issue on the interest of published research. Some researchers basically spend their life publishing the same paper, marginally amended

"la lutte contre l’antibiorésistance impose de prévenir les infections"

Lutter contre les pathogènes dans l'air, c'est améliorer l'hygiène, sans imposer d'efforts humains, et réduire l'antibioresistance
