This study investigates how gut and nasal microbiome changes influence respiratory disease severity in calves exposed to pathogens and antibiotics, finding stronger associations with gut microbiota and metabolic functions.

This study investigates host-microbiota interactions during bovine respiratory disease, finding that antimicrobial treatment has a greater impact on microbial communities and metabolic functions than infection alone.

BoviScan is a PhIP-Seq library that maps antibody responses against Mycoplasma bovis, enabling high-throughput and high-resolution analysis of humoral immunity.

This study identifies P48, a surface lipoprotein in Mycoplasma species, as essential for ICE acquisition through nucleoside recognition, challenging the donor-centric view of bacterial conjugation.

This study shows that Mycoplasma agalactiae conjugation increases in co-culture with eukaryotic cells, leading to genetic exchange and mosaic genomes, with nucleotide stress potentially modulating this process.
