Cross-border prevalence of putative-hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae differs between tertiary hospitals in Austria and Germany We conducted a prospective testing protocol for surveillance of putative hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae in two tertiary hospitals in Germany and …

Recently our publication about the prevalence of putative hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae was published! Check out the differences between Austrian and German hospitals. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

These mouth bacteria use a new type of cell division to make 14 cells at once The newfound strategy seen in C. matruchotii might help oral bacteria recover lost territory after each eviction by toothbrushing.

Crazy stuff in PNAS

dental plaque bacterium 𝘊𝘰𝘳𝘺𝘯𝘦𝘣𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘶𝘮 𝘮𝘢𝘵𝘳𝘶𝘤𝘩𝘰𝘵𝘪𝘪 can divide into an unprecedented 14 daughter cells at once—then each daughter cell starts growing immediately in a rare process called multiple fission, achieving 0.5 mm per day of expansion
