All cultivated Patescibacteria, or CPR, exist as obligate episymbionts on other microbes. Despite being ubiquitous in mammals and environmentally, molecular mechanisms of host identification and binding amongst ultrasmall bacterial episymbionts are largely unknown. Type 4 pili (T4P) are well conserved in this group and predicted to facilitate symbiotic interactions.

- Gracilibacteria are a group of bacteria that are part of the candidate phyla radiation (CPR), characterized by small size and incomplete metabolic pathways, indicating a potential symbiotic lifestyle, and their roles in ecosystems, especially in groundwater, are still largely unknown.
- The study utilized metagenomic and metaproteomic analyses over a 12-day period at a cold-water geyser in Germany to observe the activity and genetic expression of Gracilibacteria, identifying multiple genomes and their interactions with other microbial communities.
- The findings revealed that Gracilibacteria possess genomic traits suggesting limited metabolic functions and a reliance on host organisms for survival, as indicated by a high number of genes related to cell interaction and motility.
Introduction: Vitamin-K antagonists (VKA) are considered the first-line anticoagulants for thrombotic antiphospholipid syndrome (TAPS), particularly with triple positivity or arterial events. However, thrombotic recurrence remains high despite anticoagulation and other clinical issues may arise. Long-term parenteral anticoagulants may therefore be considered, however little is known about the viability of fondaparinux in this setting.
