Mixotrophy: Who's watching your dishwasher
http://mixotrophy.blogspot.com/2010/07/whos-watching-your-dishwasher.html
Wednesday, July 07, 2010. Who's watching your dishwasher. I followed a link in this Seth Godin blog post. To a video of a presentation. Given by Tim O'Reilly at a recent conference. The theme of the talk was the importance of data and data accessibility to future web based applications. I did not watch the whole thing, but a point he made about 10 minutes into the talk really struck me. He was talking about smart metering of electricity consumption. I recently came across your blog and have been reading ...

Blogging about those twisty bacteria known as spirochetes. Tuesday, January 27, 2009. Watch videos of the Lyme disease spirochete escaping from the bloodstream of live mice! Most pathogenic microbes that cause systemic infections, regardless of their route of host entry, migrate to the circulatory system, which facilitates their spread throughout the body. These invasive microbes, which include the Lyme disease spirochete B. burgdorferi. Fluoresce by transforming the spirochete with a gfp. Green fluoresc...

Spirochetes Unwound: A new attenuated leptospirosis vaccine protects hamsters from lethal infection by more than one serovar of Leptospira
http://spirochetesunwound.blogspot.com/2011/05/new-attenuated-leptospirosis-vaccine.html
Blogging about those twisty bacteria known as spirochetes. Sunday, May 1, 2011. A new attenuated leptospirosis vaccine protects hamsters from lethal infection by more than one serovar of Leptospira. Scientists have demonstrated that a new attenuated leptospirosis vaccine protects laboratory hamsters from being killed by Leptospira. Even when the challenge and vaccine strains belong to different serovars (immune types). This is exactly what happened to the leptospirosis vaccines that are given to dogs.

Tick, the vector of the Lyme disease spirochete, goes months without a meal. During this time, the Borrelia burgdorferi. Spirochetes living in its midgut live quiet lives, sipping on the tick's antifreeze. And mammalian host proteins. How does B. burgdorferi. Know when to start making these critical proteins?

Spirochetes Unwound: Severe Lyme arthritis: Gagging on GAGs
http://spirochetesunwound.blogspot.com/2014/12/severe-lyme-arthritis-gagging-on-gags.html
Blogging about those twisty bacteria known as spirochetes. Tuesday, December 30, 2014. Severe Lyme arthritis: Gagging on GAGs. Has been mapping genetic variants that make laboratory mice prone to severe Lyme arthritis. One of these variants is described in a paper. The Journal of Clinical Investigation. Earlier this year. The affected gene encodes the enzyme β-glucuronidase, which carries out a critical function in the lysosome. The key to the study was having strains of mice that differed in their susce...

Blogging about those twisty bacteria known as spirochetes. Sunday, September 15, 2013. Is sterilizing immunity against Leptospira. Possible with protein subunit vaccines? Serogroup B, Streptococcus pneumoniae. And other bacterial pathogens (reviewed in this. It's been hard enough to find leptospiral proteins that protect hamsters from lethal disease when tested as vaccines (see this article. For a review), yet Murray and colleagues sought proteins that protected against Leptospira. Colonization, a more d...
