Broad-spectrum antibiotics should prevent disease, right? In this issue of Cell Host & Microbe, Drummond et al. turn logic on its head and show they actually drive more deadly invasive fungal-bacterial systemic co-infection. Prophylactic antibiotics increase susceptibility to these infections by targeting the commensal microbes required for gut-derived IL-17-mediated immunity.

An amino-domino model described by a cross-peptide-bond Ramachandran plot defines amino acid pairs as local structural units.

Protein structure, both at the global and local level, dictates function. Proteins fold from chains of amino acids, forming secondary structures, α-helices and β-strands, that, at least for globular proteins, subsequently fold into a three-dimensional structure. Here, we show that a Ramachandran-type plot focusing on the two dihedral angles separated by the peptide bond, and entirely contained within an amino acid pair, defines a local structural unit.

The evolution of the patient safety perspectives, the technological age, the human factor age and the safety management age, have no clear cut and coexist. The current edition of the Current Opinion in Anesthesiology Technology, Education and Safety section presents an eclectic compendium of articles addressing these views from the technological improvements, human factor developments and organizational safety management impacting patient safety. Every solution, every patch to fill the cheese hole, holding the domino piece to fall, opens a new disruption elsewhere that needs to be addressed following the zero-preventable harm path.

Purpose: Violence against healthcare professionals has become an emergency in many countries. Literature in this area has mainly focused on nurses while there are less studies on physicians, whose alterations in mental health and burnout have been linked to higher rates of medical errors and poorer quality of care. We summarized peer-reviewed literature and examined the epidemiology, main causes, consequences, and areas of intervention associated with workplace violence perpetrated against physicians.
