    This is more of a blurb (rather than an article) about P. aeruginosa making three small changes to the EF-Tu protein in order to gain entry into human cells. Understanding these changes appears to be a great link to understanding/studying hospital-acquired pneumonia. Not sure how I feel about the comment comparing proteins to a spork in a takeout meal....

    If this is adapted for liquids, it could work wonders in areas with contaminated drinking water. However, the article also states that future research will examine food quality. My question is, why was that not researched before this article was released?

    A rather novel discovery in the field of pili biogenesis. This also appears to be a big steeping stone in the development of potential new antibiotics for cystitis (bladder inflammation a.k.a urinary tract infections).

    This in an interesting application in slowing the spread of diseases such as dengue and yellow fever, but one also has to wonder what this will do to the mosquito population as it reduces the mosquito's ability to lay viable eggs. How controlled will this application be and how often will it be utilized?

    Even though this article is taken from the opinions page of the NY Times, it still discusses a rather important issue. Sometimes the old saying "A little dirt never hurt" rings oh so true.
