The answer to Saturday’s #CaseStudySaturday question is 🦠… B. Dermatophyte!
Get the details and learn more when you watch the video on the #ASMClinMicro Case Study page: asm.social/36C
ALT A 20-year-old female with lower back rash (circular lesions) & burning pain for 1 week, after being stepped on by a horse. The rash consisted of multiple circular lesions with honey-colored discharge that were slightly scabbed over. An aerobic/anaerobic culture was ordered. A colony Gram stain was performed, which demonstrated septate hyphae, arthroconidia and chlamydospores. A colony tape prep with Lactophenol Aniline Blue demonstrated these same structures plus macroconidia. Subsequently, MALDI-TOF MS was performed using an alternative library, which led to this surprising organism identification. What's the diagnosis? A. Nocardia. B. Dermatophyte. C. Fusarium. D. Blastomyces.

🦠 Some viruses can live quietly in your body for many years—but what happens if they “wake up”?
The JC virus is one of these typically harmless viruses. Nearly 3 in 4 people have been exposed by age 70, often without ever knowing they have it. But in some people, the virus can become dangerous.
🔬 NIH researchers are working to better understand how this virus becomes life-threatening.

Record-breaking numbers of dengue cases have been reported in 2024, thanks (in part) to climate change and globalization. @RodneyRohde breaks down basic virology, transmission dynamics and treatment options to help contain this ongoing threat. asm.social/213

The world is covered in plastic, & it's not fantastic. But what if plastic could sort of...self-destruct? Scientists created plastic harboring spores of bacteria; when the spores germinate, the bacteria eat the plastic. Learn more in Microbial Minutes! asm.social/20Q
