The peripheral T cell population is associated with pneumonia severity in cynomolgus monkeys experimentally infected with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2

This study shows that cynomolgus monkeys with lower peripheral T cell counts experience more severe pneumonia after SARS-CoV-2 infection compared to those with higher T cell counts.

Identification of a recently dominate sublineage in Salmonella 4,,12:i:- sequence type 34 isolated from food animals in Japan

The paper identifies a new sublineage of Salmonella 4,[5],12:i:-, clade 9-2, which has become dominant in Japanese food animals through genome reductions and antimicrobial resistance.

Disentangling primer interactions improves SARS-CoV-2 genome sequencing by the ARTIC Network's multiplex PCR

The paper improves SARS-CoV-2 genome sequencing by modifying the ARTIC Network's primer set to reduce primer dimer interactions, enhancing coverage in low viral load samples.

Salmonella genomic island 3 is an integrative and conjugative element and contributes to copper and arsenic resistance of Salmonella enterica
