Genome sequencing of a non-tuberculosis species, isolated from a public pool, shows that the genome contains several genes for antibiotic resistance and anti-phage defense, which are absent from other related . Metagenomic binning also provided the genome of the accompanying phage, which is distinct from other mycobacterial phages.

Bacteriophage-derived dsRNA (bp-dsRNA), also known as Larifan, is a poly-functional and wide-spectrum antiviral medication with potent interferonogenic activity. In the lungs of golden Syrian hamsters infected with SARS-CoV-2, Larifan substantially reduces viral load and decreases infection-induced pathological lesion severity. Alveolar macrophages (AM) are key sentinel cells in the lung, which play an important role in antiviral innate immune responses and, at the same time, can trigger infection-associated hyper-inflammatory response.

Objective: Idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIMs) are a group of heterogeneous, systemic autoimmune diseases characterized by specific clinical features and, frequently, skeletal muscle inflammation. Specific subtypes of IIMs can be characterized by myositis-specific autoantibodies and are associated with distinct clinical phenotypes. Here, we focus on anti-melanoma differentiation-associated protein 5 (MDA5)-positive myositis and anti-signal recognition particle (SRP)-positive myositis, both of which exhibit seasonality but lack known environmental triggers.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigated how extreme halophiles in salt-rich environments react to repeated dilution of salinity, showing that their dominance shifts based on the level of stress.
- Under moderate stress (20% salinity), dominant species like Haloquadratum walsbyi and Salinibacter ruber thrived, while under stronger stress (13% salinity), they were replaced by more adaptable species.
- These findings suggest that genus-level diversity is crucial for ecological resilience, with species replacements occurring alongside viral co-evolution, highlighting the dynamic adaptability of brine microbial communities.
