ABSTRACT In 2017, the World Health Organization (WHO) named A. baumannii as one of
the three antibiotic-resistant bacterial species on its list of global priority pathogens in dire …

Many breeds of cattle with long histories of living in areas of endemic disease have evolved
mechanisms that enable them to co-exist with specific pathogens. Understanding the genes …

Citrobacter rodentium is a natural mouse pathogen widely used as a model for
enteropathogenic and enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli infections in humans. While C …

Natural immunity or resistance to pathogens most often relies on the genetic make-up of the
host. In a LEW rat model of refractoriness to toxoplasmosis, we previously identified on …

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a common cause of healthcare-associated infections including
pneumonia, bloodstream, urinary tract, and surgical site infections. The clinical outcome of …

Background Inbred mouse strains are used in different models of respiratory diseases but
the variation of critical respiratory leukocyte subpopulations across different strains is …

Toll‐like receptors (TLRs) enable metazoans to mount effective innate immune responses to
microbial and viral pathogens, as well as to endogenous host‐derived ligands. It is …

The composition of the intestinal microbiota has wide reaching effects on the health of an
individual, including the development of protective innate immune responses. In this report …

Background P. aeruginosa is one of the top three causes of opportunistic human bacterial
infections. The remarkable variability in the clinical outcomes of this infection is thought to be …

Patients with P. aeruginosa airways infection show markedly variable clinical phenotypes
likely influenced by genetic backgrounds. Here, we investigated the cellular events involved …
