Neutrophil extracellular traps are associated with disease severity and microbiota diversity in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease [PDF]

, 2017
BACKGROUND: Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) have been observed in the airway in COPD, but their clinical and pathophysiological implications have not been defined.OBJECTIVE: To determine if NETs are associated with disease severity in COPD, and how

Exploring the Role of Oral Microbiota in the Pathophysiology and Treatment of Bruxism

The FASEB Journal, Volume 39, Issue 17, 15 September 2025.
Bruxism, characterized by involuntary teeth grinding and clenching during wakefulness and sleep, leads to oral health issues such as tooth wear, temporomandibular disorders (TMD), gum recession, and chronic pain. While traditionally attributed to psychological and behavioral factors, recent research suggests a potential link between oral microbiota ...

Human Skin, Oral, and Gut Microbiomes Predict Chronological Age. [PDF]

, 2020
Human gut microbiomes are known to change with age, yet the relative value of human microbiomes across the body as predictors of age, and prediction robustness across populations is unknown. In this study, we tested the ability of the oral, gut, and skin

Microbiota diversity and differences in the respiratory tract of children with pneumonia

Pediatric Investigation, Volume 9, Issue 3, Page 262-274, September 2025.
Differences in microbial communities in the upper and lower respiratory tract in patients with pneumonia were investigated in this study by sequencing the 16S rRNA genes in pharyngeal swabs and alveolar lavage fluid. Forty‐three subjects were enrolled in the study, and one upper and one lower respiratory tract sample were collected from each subject ...

Impact of bronchoalveolar lavage from influenza A virus diseased pigs on neutrophil functions and growth of co-infecting pathogenic bacteria

Frontiers in Immunology
IntroductionInfluenza A viruses (IAVs) infect the respiratory tract of mainly humans, poultry, and pigs. Co-infections with pathogenic lung bacteria are a common event and contribute to the severity of disease progression.

Impact of CDT Toxin on Human Diseases

Toxins, 2016
Cytolethal distending toxin (CDT) is found in Gram-negative bacteria, especially in certain Proteobacteria such as the Pasteurellaceae family, including Haemophilus ducreyi and Aggregatibacter (Actinobacillus) actinomycetemcomitans, in the ...

Interactions between species introduce spurious associations in microbiome studies

, 2018
Microbiota contribute to many dimensions of host phenotype, including disease. To link specific microbes to specific phenotypes, microbiome-wide association studies compare microbial abundances between two groups of samples.

Epidemiological Investigation and Phylogenetic Analysis of Bovine Respiratory Disease Complex in Northern China

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 11, Issue 5, September 2025.
First comprehensive epidemiological and phylogenetic study of bovine respiratory disease complex (BRDC) in northern China (2022–2024). Dominant viral pathogens (BVDV, BPIV‐3) show winter seasonality and co‐infections with Mycoplasma bovis. Chinese isolates share evolutionary links with global strains, highlighting cross‐regional pathogen transmission ...

Transtracheal Wash Fluid Collection and Analysis in Healthy Goats

Journal of Veterinary Internal Medicine, Volume 39, Issue 5, September/October 2025.
ABSTRACT Background Transtracheal wash (TTW) is frequently used to characterize respiratory disease in companion animals, cattle, and horses, but no description of TTW methods or fluid analysis in healthy goats is available. Hypothesis/Objectives Describe a technique for collecting TTW fluid (TTWF) from healthy goats and describe the nucleated cell ...
