Skin and Gut Microbiome Features Associated with Resistance to Corynebacterium bovis-Associated Disease in Nude Mice (Mus musculus)

This study identifies microbiome features associated with resistance to Corynebacterium bovis-associated disease in mice by comparing skin and gut microbiomes across different donor sources.

Microbiome-Dependent Protection Against Corynebacterium bovis-Associated Hyperkeratosis in Nude Mice (Mus musculus)

This study shows that the microbiome can protect against C. bovis-induced hyperkeratosis in nude mice, with specific microbiome compositions reducing disease severity.

Chlamydia muridarum Infection Impacts Murine Models of Intestinal Inflammation and Cancer

This study shows that Chlamydia muridarum infection affects different models of intestinal inflammation and cancer in mice, with varying outcomes depending on the model.

A novel strategy to mitigate Corynebacterium bovis-associated hyperkeratosis (CAH) in athymic nude mice

This study evaluates whether non-pathogenic Cb or Ca can prevent CAH in nude mice, finding that Ca inoculation reduced lesion severity and delayed onset.

Assessing the Biosecurity Risk of Footwear as a Fomite for Transmission of Adventitious Infectious Agents to Mice

This study assesses the biosecurity risk of footwear as a fomite for transmitting infectious agents to mice, finding that shoe debris and contact media did not cause illness in mice despite containing non-enzootic agents.

The Impact of Host Genetics and/or its Microbiota on the Severity of Corynebacterium-Associated Hyperkeratosis in Outbred Athymic Nude Mice

This study investigates how host genetics and microbiota affect the severity of Corynebacterium-associated hyperkeratosis in nude mice, finding that certain stocks show resistance while others develop significant disease.

Chlamydia muridarum Causes Persistent Subclinical Infection and Elicits Innate and Adaptive Immune Responses in C57BL/6J, BALB/cJ and J:ARC(S) Mice Following Exposure to Shedding Mice

This study shows that C57BL/6J, BALB/cJ, and J:ARC(S) mice develop persistent subclinical Chlamydia muridarum infections with immune responses, suggesting the need to exclude Cm from mouse colonies used in GI disease research.

Assessment of Antimicrobial Therapy in Eradicating Chlamydia muridarum in Research Mice: Immune Status and its Impact on Outcomes

This study evaluates antibiotic efficacy against Chlamydia muridarum in mice, finding that immunocompetent mice can be cleared with TMS, while immunodeficient mice remain infected.

Examining Intercage Transmission of Chlamydia muridarum: Impact of Barrier Husbandry and Cage Sanitization

This study evaluates the effectiveness of husbandry practices and cage sanitization in preventing intercage transmission of Chlamydia muridarum in mice, finding no persistent contamination after proper cleaning.
