Clinical and computed tomographic characteristics of conjunctival large cell lymphoma in a cat

Veterinary Record Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 2, May 2026.
Abstract This case report describes a 12‐year‐old, female, neutered domestic shorthair cat presenting with an acute, diffuse, non‐resolving mass‐like lesion affecting the right conjunctiva. Despite an initial conscious snip biopsy result negative for malignancy and contrast‐enhanced computed tomography findings suggestive of sino‐orbital aspergillosis,

Characterization of Post-Translational Modifications and Cytotoxic Properties of the Adenylate-Cyclase Hemolysin Produced by Various Bordetella pertussis and Bordetella parapertussis Isolates

Toxins, 2017
Bordetella pertussis and Bordetella parapertussis are the causal agents of whooping cough in humans. They produce diverse virulence factors, including adenylate cyclase-hemolysin (AC-Hly), a secreted toxin of the repeat in toxins (RTX) family with ...

Skin Microbiome Variation Among Hosts and Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis Infection in Hyla meridionalis and Pelophylax perezi

Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 10, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Chytridiomycosis, caused by the fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd), is a key driver of global amphibian declines. The amphibian skin microbiome, which may include Bd‐inhibitory bacteria, plays a crucial role in defence against infection, influencing host susceptibility and disease outcome.

Novel Multitarget Real-Time PCR Assay for Rapid Detection of Bordetella Species in Clinical Specimens

, 2011
A novel multitarget real-time PCR (RT-PCR) assay for the rapid identification of Bordetella pertussis, B. parapertussis, and B. holmesii was developed using multicopy insertion sequences (ISs) in combination with the pertussis toxin subunit S1 (ptxS1 ...

Evolution of Bordetellae from Environmental Microbes to Human Respiratory Pathogens: Amoebae as a Missing Link

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2017
The genus Bordetella comprises several bacterial species that colonize the respiratory tract of mammals. It includes B. pertussis, a human-restricted pathogen that is the causative agent of Whooping Cough.

Toward Sustainability: Intensification of Light‐Driven Whole Cell Biocatalysis

ChemBioChem, Volume 27, Issue 8, April 2026.
Whole‐cell, light‐driven biotransformations in photoautotrophic microorganisms offer the potential for higher atom economy by directly harnessing reducing equivalents and oxygen generated through natural photosynthesis. Current advances include the development of strains with improved growth rates and reactor designs that mitigate self‐shading ...

Genomic features of Bordetella parapertussisclades with distinct host species specificity [PDF]

Genome Biology, 2006
Abstract Background The respiratory pathogen Bordetella parapertussis is a valuable model in which to study the complex phenotype of host specificity because of its unique two-species host range. One subset of strains, including the sequenced representative, causes whooping cough in humans, while other ...

Forest Disturbance Drives Changes in the Functional Traits of Soil Bacteria: A Metagenomic Study of Kauri (Agathis australis) Forest Ecosystems

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
This study reveals how ecological disturbances reshape the structure and function of soil bacterial communities in kauri forests, which are critical for ecosystem resilience. By linking disturbance regimes to shifts in bacterial diversity and functional capacity, it highlights the wider effects of ecosystem disturbance on soil ecological function ...

Tetracycline Resistance Pattern Among Lymphatic Filariasis‐Hyperendemic Communities in Southern Ghana: A Mixed‐Method Approach

Health Science Reports, Volume 9, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Background and Aim Tetracyclines continue to serve as a cost‐effective and essential treatment for common infections, particularly in resource‐limited regions such as lymphatic filariasis (LF)‐hyperendemic communities. The growing use of tetracycline‐based antibiotics by symptomatic filarial lymphedema patients, likely influenced by the ...
