Streptococcal and Infectious Diseases research at Imperial College London- and Infectious Diseases Physician
Definitely worth a read and raises all sorts of questions about how quickly we become vulnerable as a population if we aren’t immune/immunised.👇

Congratulations to Prof @chrischiulab.bsky.social who has been elected as a new Fellow to the Academy 🎉
Prof Chiu is studying protective immunity in human respiratory viral infections. With an urgent need for improved vaccines, this is a critical area of work 💉

Points to a specific but I think meaningful immunity gap against two of the pathogens tested - strep A and RSV in 3-4 y olds. Age specific increment in anti Strep antibodies as you might hope. Just less in those post 2020. Preprint of interest to many of us in @ispylifenetwork.bsky.social
Why did invasive #strepA infections increase in young children after the pandemic?
In this new @imperialinfect.bsky.social PREPRINT *not peer-reviewed* we look at antibody responses to #strepA and resp viruses in European children before and after the pandemic:

AI mirrors experimental science to uncover a novel mechanism of gene transfer crucial to bacterial evolution
AI models have been proposed for hypothesis generation, but testing their ability to drive high-impact research is challenging, since an AI-generated hypothesis can take decades to validate. Here, we ...
