The geographical region of origin determines the phagocytic vulnerability of Lichtheimia strains
Summary Mucormycoses are life‐threatening infections that affect patients suffering from immune deficiencies. We performed phagocytosis assays confronting various strains of Lichtheimia species with alveolar macrophages, which form the first line of defence of the innate immune system.

Survey of infectious etiologies of bovine abortion during mid- to late gestation in dairy herds. [PDF]
Bovine abortion of unknown infectious etiology still remains a major economic problem. Thus, we investigated whether Brucella spp., Listeria monocytogenes, Salmonella spp., Campylobacter spp.

Chlamydia trachomatis Growth and Cytokine mRNA Response in a Prostate Cancer Cell Line
In the present paper, we report that C. trachomatis can be efficiently propagated and affect mRNA expression for two major cytokines, relevant to tumor progression, in CWR‐R1 cells, a malignant prostate cell line. CWR‐R1 and McCoy cells, a classic cell line for chlamydial research, were grown and infected with C.

Abstract The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of myristic acid on jejunal mucosal microbiota, mucosal immunity, and growth performance of nursery pigs. Thirty‐six pigs (6.6 ± 0.4 kg of body weight) were assigned to three treatments (n = 12) for 35 d in three phases: (NC) basal diet; (PC) NC + bacitracin; and (MA) NC + myristic ...

Chlamydia trachomatis is the most commonly diagnosed bacterial sexually transmitted infection and can lead to tubal factor infertility, a disease characterised by fibrosis of the fallopian tubes. Genetic polymorphisms in molecular pathways involving G protein‐coupled receptor signalling, the Akt/PI3K cascade, the mitotic cell cycle, and immune response
