Marine cyanobacteria use pili to retain optimal positions within the water column and evade grazing predation—yet this fitness cost may explain why they aren’t more widespread: Type IV pili increase phage encounter in marine cyanobacteria biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Our recent work indicates that about 20% of the drugs, that are most commonly given to patients that have an increased risk of a fungal infection, act not not only on the human but also on the fungal pathogen, and render them more drug resistant or tolerant.
