Macrophages, alongside mammary epithelial cells, are major contributors to the innate immune response triggered by bacterial invasion of the mammary gland. To investigate breed-specific immune mechanisms, we stimulated monocyte-derived macrophages from Holstein and Normande cattle with Escherichia…
Bacteria encode diverse antiviral defense systems, yet the evolutionary reservoirs that generate this immune innovation remain poorly defined. Although genomic context has been instrumental in discovering defense systems, genomic islands (GIs), variable chromosomal regions enriched in defense genes…
Abstract The upper respiratory tract (URT) microbiome plays a vital role in respiratory health, with older children (5-14 years old) serving as key reservoirs for the transmission of bacteria to younger individuals (< 5 years old). However, the URT microbiome in this age group remains poorly…
