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 ...

Chlamydial Lytic Exit from Host Cells Is Plasmid Regulated
Chlamydia trachomatis is an obligate intracellular bacterium that is a globally important human pathogen. The chlamydial plasmid is an attenuating virulence factor, but the molecular basis for attenuation is not understood.

Update Vulvadermatologie – Diagnostik und Therapie
Zusammenfassung Die Vulva stellt als periorifizielles Hautareal eine Übergangszone dar; dies bedingt funktionelle und physiologische Besonderheiten. In der Allgemeinbevölkerung und bei medizinischem Fachpersonal sind Kenntnisse zur Anatomie der Vulva unzureichend; unrealistische Vorstellungen bezüglich des Normalbefundes sind verbreitet.

Pangenomics reveals alternative environmental lifestyles among chlamydiae
Chlamydiae are strictly intracellular bacteria that exist in a wide variety of environments but the diversity of the phylum is not well described. Here, the authors analyze 82 metagenome-assembled genomes, identify seven new families, and describe ...

Phylogenetic Diversity of NTT Nucleotide Transport Proteins in Free-Living and Parasitic Bacteria and Eukaryotes [PDF]
Plasma membrane-located nucleotide transport proteins (NTTs) underpin the lifestyle of important obligate intracellular bacterial and eukaryotic pathogens by importing energy and nucleotides from infected host cells that the pathogens can no longer make ...

The microbiota of the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) plays a crucial role in the development, lifespan, physiology, barrier functions and immunity against pathogens in fish. One of the significant causes of fish mortality in production systems, which also generates huge financial losses, is pathogenic dieseases.

Mixed infection by fowlpox virus and Chlamydophila psittaci in a commercial laying hen flock [PDF]
An outbreak of fowlpox occurred in a commercial laying hen flock in one of the western provinces of Poland. Clinical signs suggested fowlpox and the diagnosis was confirmed by histopathological detection of Bollinger bodies within the epithelial cells ...

Most Acanthamoebas contain endosymbionts such as viruses, yeasts, protists, and bacteria, some of which are potential human pathogens, including Campylobacter jejuni which often causes gastroenteritis and septicemia in humans. Amoebae have been shown to be resistant to chlorination and apparently protect ingested bacteria such as C.

Chlamydiae may exist at the site of infection in an alternative replicative form, called the aberrant body (AB). AB are produced during a viable but non-infectious developmental state termed persistence or chlamydial stress.
