ABSTRACT Background Mycoplasma bovis mastitis is an important disease of dairy cows that causes substantial economic losses. However, its prevalence in different states in the United States (US), including Tennessee, is not well known. Furthermore, recent studies showed a high prevalence of bovine hemotropic mycoplasmas in US dairy farms.

Detecting the Escherichia coli metabolic backbone [PDF]
The heterogeneity of reaction fluxes present in a metabolic network within a single flux state can be exploited to construct the so-called backbone as a reduced version of metabolism. The backbone maintains all significant fluxes producing or consuming metabolites while displaying a substantially decreased number of interconnections and, hence, it ...

Whole-Genome Sequencing and Concordance Between Antimicrobial Susceptibility Genotypes and Phenotypes of Bacterial Isolates Associated with Bovine Respiratory Disease. [PDF]
Extended laboratory culture and antimicrobial susceptibility testing timelines hinder rapid species identification and susceptibility profiling of bacterial pathogens associated with bovine respiratory disease, the most prevalent cause of cattle ...

Prediction of Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic Promoters Using Convolutional Deep Learning Neural Networks [PDF]
Accurate computational identification of promoters remains a challenge as these key DNA regulatory regions have variable structures composed of functional motifs that provide gene specific initiation of transcription. In this paper we utilize Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) to analyze sequence characteristics of prokaryotic and eukaryotic promoters

Development and application of an antibiotic spectrum index for benchmarking antibiotic selection patterns across hospitals [PDF]
Standard metrics for antimicrobial use consider volume but not spectrum of antimicrobial prescribing. We developed an antibiotic spectrum index (ASI) to classify commonly used antibiotics based on activity against important pathogens.

ABSTRACT Children with an early severe respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection have an increased risk of wheezing later in life. This longitudinal study aimed to investigate whether children with a mild RSV infection taken care of in a primary health care setting had an increased incidence of wheezing in the 2 years following infection compared to ...

Viral Pneumonia Screening on Chest X-ray Images Using Confidence-Aware Anomaly Detection [PDF]
Cluster of viral pneumonia occurrences during a short period of time may be a harbinger of an outbreak or pandemic, like SARS, MERS, and recent COVID-19. Rapid and accurate detection of viral pneumonia using chest X-ray can be significantly useful in large-scale screening and epidemic prevention, particularly when other chest imaging modalities are ...

Psychosis in a Case of Mycoplasma Pneumonia Encephalopathy [PDF]
Mycoplasma pneumonia, a well known cause of acute respiratory infection in man, has been reported to frequently include central nervous system manifestations as part of its clinical course (1,2).

Critical Role of Skin in Pathogenesis: Bidirectional Crosstalk Between Skin and Multiple Organs
The skin functions as both a protective barrier and an autonomous immune organ, maintaining dynamic interactions with internal organs. This review analyzes skin‐organ crosstalk mechanisms, highlighting key cytokines (particularly IL‐17A) and microbial metabolites that mediate interorgan communication.
