Probiotic P118 against Salmonella infections by directly antibacterial actions, inhibiting Salmonella colonization and invasion, attenuating macrophage pro-inflammatory responses, and modulating gut microbiota mediated by microbe-derived indole metabolites.

Several studies have now demonstrated that trained immunity occurs in the airways to several pathogens and products, while its utility is yet to be determined.

Direct skin contact during parental care in poison frogs transmits host-adapted microbes to tadpoles, where some bacterial taxa may persist on the skin through early development.

Genetic analysis of Streptococcus pyogenes reveals multiple mutations, including a key change in the fhuB gene, that influence the bacteria’s ability to cause severe invasive infections.

Gliding multicellular cyanobacteria results from cellular coordination, the loss of which results in the collapse of orderly back-and-forth movement of filaments and in filament buckling.

A pioneering Bolivian seroepidemiological study employed innovative serological and neutralization assays as highly effective complements to genomic surveillance, delivering critical insights into SARS-CoV-2 variant circulation and informing public health strategies.
