However, public acceptance of such strategies should be monitored to ensure successful implementation. In an experiment with N=1379 German participants, we investigated whether the public's vaccination allocation preferences matched the prioritisation strategy approved by the German government. Results revealed different allocations. While the government had top-prioritised vulnerable people (being of high age or accommodated in nursing homes for the elderly), participants preferred exclusive allocation of the first available vaccines to medical staff and personnel caring for the elderly. Interestingly, allocation preferences did not change when participants were told how many individuals were included in each group. As differences between allocation policies and public preferences can affect trust in the government and threaten the social contract between generations, we discuss possible strategies to align vaccination prioritisations.This work combines a clinical investigation with a mouse model of fungal infection to study the role of bacterial microbiota in fungal invasion. The investigators identified a dysbiosis in the oropharyngeal mucosa that was associated with a high risk for invasive infection in hematologic oncology patients. This study builds on our current understanding that the pathogenesis of fungal infections has to be studied in the context of a specific host background and a site-specific bacterial microbiota.M-type 28 (M28) Streptococcus pyogenes (group A Streptococcus [GAS]) strains are highly associated with life-threatening puerperal infections. Genome sequencing has revealed a large mobile genetic element, RD2, present in most M28 GAS isolates but not found widely in other serotypes. Previous studies have linked RD2 to the ability of
