Development and Application of a Rapid 23S rRNA‐Targeted Reverse Transcription Quantitative PCR System for the Detection and Quantification of Enterobacterales
Bacteria belonging to the family Enterobacteriaceae occur as commensals or pathogens in humans. The increasing prevalence of multidrug‐resistant bacteria has raised global concern. Following the reclassification of Enterobacteriaceae spe...

Bordetella parapertussis Evades Neutrophil‐Mediated Killing by Failing to Trigger Innate Activation Even After IFN‐γ Priming
B. parapertussis is one of the etiologic agents of whooping cough and its incidence has increased following the COVID‐19 pandemic. Since current pertussis vaccines fail to induce protection against B. parapertussis , the course of infect...

Age‐Associated Antimicrobial Resistance in Escherichia coli Isolates From Companion Dogs and Cats Linked to CTX‐M Gene Carriage
As companion animals live in close contact with humans, the presence of antimicrobial‐resistant organisms in these animals is an important issue in veterinary medicine from a One Health perspective. In this study, we isolated a total of ...

Identification of Bacitracin Resistance Mechanisms in Streptococcus sobrinus
Streptococcus sobrinus is a member of the Streptococcus mutans group and is a cariogenic bacterium similar to S. mutans . One of the characteristics of these bacteria is bacitracin resistance, and BceAB (MbrAB), an ABC transporter of S. ...

The Bordetella Effector BteA Interacts With BopN Through Its C‐Terminal Region, Thereby Controlling Its Translocation Into Host Cells
BteA is a cytotoxic effector translocated into host cells via the type III secretion system (T3SS) of Bordetella . The T3SS gatekeeper protein BopN controls BteA translocation, yet the BteA region mediating this regulation remains unknow...

Synergistic Effect of Ambient Ozone, Relative Humidity, and Temperature on Epidemic Patterns of Influenza: A Hypothesis and Its Verification
The mechanisms underlying seasonal patterns in influenza epidemics have long been an enigma. Our laboratory study revealed that ambient ozone significantly inactivates airborne influenza viruses synergistically with higher relative humid...

Exopolysaccharides From Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus OLL1073R‐1 Enhance Macrophage Bactericidal Activity Through IL‐12‐Dependent Macrophage–NK Cell Crosstalk
Exopolysaccharides (EPS) produced by Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus OLL1073R‐1 have been reported to exert immunomodulatory effects, primarily in antiviral responses; however, their role in antibacterial host defense remains...

Variation in the Milk Microbiota of Healthy Dairy Cows Across Parity and Lactation Stage
To characterize variation in the milk microbiota of clinically healthy dairy cows, milk samples were collected repeatedly from four cows throughout lactation and analyzed by 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing. Alpha‐diversity analysis sho...
