    IIPW 2023 takes place October 15 – 21, 2023! Infection Preventionists (IPs) play a crucial role in keeping the public safe and healthy.

International Infection Prevention Week (IIPW), established in 1986, aims to shine a light on infection prevention each and every year.

    Bacterial Polyphosphates Modulate Macrophage Responses to Infection - 4 year(s) ago

    Polyphosphates are linear polymers of inorganic monophosphate residues (Pi) and these ancient metabolites exist in all living cells. In bacteria, polyphosphate kinases (PPK) and polyphosphatases (PPX) control the accumulation of polyphosphates from ATP as long chains (>300–1000 Pi) for energy storage and prokaryotic homeostasis. Here, we demonstrate that bacterial (long-chain) polyphosphates…
