This study shows that adult mice with neonatal-like T cell subsets are more susceptible to Bordetella pertussis but not influenza, highlighting the role of thymic development in immune responses.

The paper identifies health-associated bacterial species that protect against middle ear infections in mice by reducing otopathogen colonization.

This study identifies two novel adhesins, BP1251 and BP1252, in B. pertussis that are crucial for colonising epithelial cells and reducing bacterial recovery in a murine infection model.
