As GN bacteria go, it's an interesting bug:
Highly motile, curved, GNR, #Urease-positive, catalase-positive, oxidase-positive
Related to Campylobacter, for family fun
Nice crossover with our #Gastroenterology colleagues, eh #IDtwitter and @IDSAInfo

GN, and as such should be sensitive to most #antibiotics that target GN with pretty good susceptibilities over time for:
#amoxicillin #tetracycline #aminoglycoside #nitroimidazole #macrolide

1/ The Immune System is actually a very complex network of tissues and cells all working together to protect us from pathogens and kill mutated cells. The Immune system falls into two arms with the Innate Immune System and the Adaptive Immune System. 
2/ The Innate Immune System consists of the physical barriers, chemical barriers and sentry cells. These three barriers make up the first line of defense for our bodies.
❗ℹ️ As of June 7, the entry conditions to 🇪🇸 for travelers from 🇪🇺 or non-EU countries are made more flexible.
🔵 Travelers must be fully vaccinated with a vaccine approved by @EMA_News or by @WHO, or else meet other requirements.

In this opinion paper @RMedzhitov went back to drawing board to update his views on #allergy and how it could develop.

I read this paper and here is my take on it

@RMedzhitov Why focus on allergy? b/c allergy is a paradox. The allergy we recognize is a completely maladaptive response and has no protective role whatsoever. It is not clear why do we even need IgE

@RMedzhitov So, some 10 years ago or so, @RMedzhitov started to suggest that #allergy is an intrinsic property of a certain type of #antigens, many of them with enzymatic function (enzymes). 3/
How a #vaccine works: when we get #covid19 we make #antibodies and #Tcells. A #vaccine introduces #antigens: heat-killed, parts of #virus, #mrna that makes virus #spike into our bodies to produce the antibody and Tcells WITHOUT infecting us with #coronavirus & making us sick. 1/
When a new disease comes along like #COVID19 #coronavirus our body does not have #antibodies or #Tcells to fight it off. First we recognize it (the #antigen) and START to BUILD our defense or army to fight it back. #vaccines #vaccine (from who.int) 2/
The #vaccine helps us to build an army that is ready to fight the #coronavirus before it tries to infect us. The #vaccines are parts of the virus or #antigens that our body knows are foreign invaders (BUT can’t attack or make us sick). #mrna vaccines are different 3/
ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT RHESUS INCOMPATIBILITY
If the #RhesusStatus of your partner or spouse is not compatible with yours & you do nothing about it, it can lead to repeated miscarriages, jaundice in your baby, & stillbirths.

Every person's blood group can either be A, B, AB or O.
Similarly, we are all classified as Rhesus Positive (Rh+) or Rhesus Negative (Rh-). This depends on whether you have a protein called #RhesusAntigen on the surface of our red blood cells or not.

If you have rhesus antigens on your red blood cells, you are RHESUS POSITIVE.
If you don't have rhesus antigens on your red blood cells, you are RHESUS NEGATIVE.
If you don't have rhesus antigens on your red blood cells, you are RHESUS NEGATIVE.
