1/50 #Science is an ongoing process that serves to investigate phenomena, gain new insights or "correct prior knowledge" and this only works in #discourse. This includes diversity of #Opinion, #tolerance and a broad debate space. This is a large thread.
2/50 "#trust the science" is in my view the most #antiscience statement ever. #Questioning science is how you do #Science. This thread gives some examples and further questions.

In order to understand the world around us as the truth about it is emerging from a 100+ year slumber, it’s going to be important to challenge ideas that have absolutely zero basis in reality.

#AntimicrobialResistance (AMR) occurs when:
🔸 bacteria
🔸 viruses
🔸 fungi
🔸 parasites
no longer respond to medicines, ↗️ the risk of disease spread, severe illness & death.

Antibiotic supply chains are complex & opaque🕵️ This makes it hard for #policymakers to design and implement effective supply chain regulation that reduces #AMR risk but avoids unintended consequences on medicine affordability and availability /2
A new @Wellcome_AMR report attempts to address these ongoing questions through:
- mapping of antibiotic supply chains 🗺️
- analysing likely supply chain & economic impact of regulatory options 💹

Last year, our sister biotech company @LUCABiologics announced VIRGO, the first comprehensive reference in the gene catalog of the human vaginal #microbiome spearheaded by Chief Scientist Dr. Jacques Ravel. A thread 🧵
This database of nearly 1 million non-redundant genes reveals significant genomic and functional diversity within the vaginal #ecosystem, challenging the widely-held notion that an optimal vaginal microbiome is dominated by one strain. 🧵
This new view of intraspecies diversity has deep implications on the development of gene-centric, microbial therapies to target #diseases like bacterial vaginosis, urinary tract infection, and STI, which impact millions of women globally.🧵

Researchers all over the world are looking to identify alternative treatments to reduce antibiotics usage. One such approach taken by @KaushikLab is to evaluate traditional medicinal remedies using modern day scientific tests. bit.ly/2UT5NKs 
In this study, they collaborated with an Ayurveda practitioner to identify remedies in ancient Indian texts for wound infections. They found 3 plant-based remedies used for wounds in ancient texts.
Using the plant parts and recipe described, they made these remedies & tested them with laboratory assays against two bacteria known to cause wound infections. They determined that the remedies inhibit bacterial growth to different extents, depending on the bacterial state.

Example of organims driving an “#autoimmune” process 👉 In a mouse model of #myocarditis, this team found that cardiac myosin–reactive TH cells are initially primed by myosin-peptide mimics derived from Bacteroides bacteria in the gut: science.sciencemag.org/content/366/64…
2/ Unlike heathy controls, human #myocarditis patients also showed detectable immune reactivity to both Bacteroides and cardiac myosin antigens...

1/1 Team uses range of technologies to study brain, heart, kidney + liver tissue of a patient w/ #Lyme disease who received many antibiotics over 16 yrs 👉 Identify significant pathological changes, including borrelial spirochetal clusters in all organs: mdpi.com/antibiotics/an…
2/2 The aggregates contained a well-established #biofilm marker, alginate, on their surfaces, suggesting they are true biofilm 👉 IHC analysis also showed significant numbers of infiltrating CD3+ T lymphocytes present next to #Borrelia burgdorferi biofilms
3/3 Team concludes 👉 “...we provide several lines of evidence that suggest that B. burgdorferi can persist in the human body, not only in the spirochetal but also in the #antibiotic-resistant biofilm form, even after long-term antibiotic treatment”

Accredited professionals, meanwhile, who stand for #Health freedom and who criticize Big Anything, are losing posting privileges, getting banned, being buried, finding themselves deranked, and getting digitally assassinated.
Content is literally disappearing from the Internet along with our #Health choices.
It sounds conspiratorial because it is. Independent #Journalists and health experts are blowing the whistle. But it’s become a silent one.

This! The activity of the host #immune response largely determines whether #pathobionts acquired from an #FMT donor might become capable of virulence 👉 So including immune status in the study of FMT outcomes would be extremely informative
IMO immune status should be included in the general study of #antibiotic resistant infection 👉 It’s no coincidence that most “superbug” infections occur in immunocompromised patients, often in hospitals (w/ patients on cocktails of steroids for procedures like organ transplants)
Because extrapolate that trend and consider that the immunosuppressive biologics used to palliate “#autoimmune” disease symptoms are the top selling medications in the world 👉 With top side effects of such drugs being “serious #infection by viruses, fungi or bacteria”(see below)

Very interesting! 👉 Team found (in mice) that #fever alters surface proteins (integrins) on #immune cells such as lymphocytes + macrophages ☝️ These changes allow such cells to better travel via #blood vessels to reach sites of infection.
And yet, if you walk into a USA #pharmacy, most medications for flu, colds, inflammation, injuries etc deliberately “knock down” #fever to temporarily palliate symptoms 👉 How do such #medications then impact long-term immunity, pathogen persistence and #microbiome health??
This same trend (medications that treat the #immune response as an “enemy” vs. an “ally”) are also “standard of care” for chronic disease 👉 But as such “#autoimmune”/inflammatory conditions are increasingly tied to #microbiome dysbiosis does that paradigm still make sense??
“Missing #microbes” are a factor in the development of chronic #inflammatory disease 👉 But personally, I’m more concerned about the fact that many aspects of modern living are driving a rise in “missing #immunity” and the consequent survival of “additional persistent #pathogens”
Here’s an example 👉 #Formula feeding is often associated w/ increased chronic #disease incidence☝️ Meanwhile, #breast milk has a #microbiome, but is ALSO filled w/ antimicrobial compounds + metabolites that play a key role in the immune’s system’s ability to manage #infection
This team found that interactions b/t neonatal #saliva and #breast milk released #antimicrobial compounds including H202☝️These compounds inhibited growth of a range of human pathogens: nature.com/articles/s4159…
