New paper alert-outstanding postdoc Mecaila McClune has deeply enriched our understanding of #Lymedisease pathogenesis through live, real-time peptidoglycan #glycotime tracking. Her work draws curious parallels to #LongCovid & infection associated chronic illness

The peptidoglycan of Borrelia burgdorferi can persist in discrete tissues and cause systemic responses consistent with chronic illness
Polymeric Borrelia burgdorferi peptidoglycan cell wall can persist in murine livers for weeks to months after direct injection or infection.

Bacteria go to a lot of trouble to control their flagellation pattern 🦠
Late as always, but I just moved from the other side. Hope you enjoy our latest work describing how FimV, FlhF and FleN regulate the polar flagella assembly in Pseudomonas putida. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... #MicroSky
