At the close of the 19th century, the germ theory had generated a new understanding of the causes of acute infectious diseases and revealed new directions for study. This understanding contributed to the greatest improvements in health in the history of medicine.

Establishment of a biosafe murine model of skeletal tuberculosis using Mycobacterium smegmatis
This study developed a biosafe, accessible, and versatile murine model of bone TB using Mycobacterium smegmatis, a fast‐growing, nonpathogenic mycobacterial species with high genomic homology to Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Three infection routes—subperiosteal calvarial injection, intratibial injection, and intracardiac (left ventricular) inoculation ...

Advances and Challenges in Micro/Nanocarrier‐Based Dermal Drug Delivery Systems for Acne Treatment
Topical acne treatment faces challenges from skin barriers and complex causes. Micro/nanocarriers improve drug delivery by enhancing bioavailability, targeting, and duration. Combining carriers creates synergistic effects for systematic intervention.

Evolution of malaria virulence in cross-generation transmission through selective immune pressure [PDF]
Theoretical arguments and some mathematical models of host-parasite coevolution (e.g. [1- 6]) suggest host immunity as the driving source for the evolution of parasite virulence.

Metabolic characteristics and genomic epidemiology of Escherichia coli serogroup O145 : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Microbiology at Massey University, Palmerston North, New Zealand [PDF]
Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) are a global public health concern, and can cause severe human disease. Ruminants are asymptomatic reservoirs of STEC, shedding this pathogen via their faeces.
