Experimental trichuriasis: Changes in the immune response and bacterial translocation during acute phase development illustrated with 3D model animation. by Dayane Alvarinho de Oliveira, Renato Oliveira, Brunna Vianna Braga, Lorian Cobra Straker, Luciana Silva Rodrigues, Lilian Lacerda Bueno, Ricardo Toshio Fujiwara, Eduardo José Lopes-Torres

“…We showed a mixed immune response (Th1, Th2, and Th17) initiated by larval-induced lesions in the intestine tissue and modulated by L4 larvae and adult worms in the cecum, with systemic changes observed in the mesenteric lymph nodes, peritoneal macrophages, and spleen. Despite the disruption of the intestinal mucosa within the first 10 days post-infection (d.p.i.), bacterial invasion becomes evident only after the development of the nematode into the L3 larval stage (17 d.p.i.), intensifying with lesions caused by the L4 larvae (22 d.p.i.) and adult worms (35 d.p.i.). …”

A comprehensive analysis of in vitro and in vivo genetic fitness of Pseudomonas aeruginosa using high-throughput sequencing of transposon libraries. by David Skurnik, Damien Roux, Hugues Aschard, Vincent Cattoir, Deborah Yoder-Himes, Stephen Lory, Gerald B Pier

“…In vitro growth in LB provided a baseline for comparison with the survival of the Tn insertion strains following 6 days of colonization of the murine gastrointestinal tract as well as a comparison with Tn-inserts subsequently able to systemically disseminate to the spleen following induction of neutropenia. Sequencing was performed following DNA extraction from the recovered bacteria, digestion with the MmeI restriction enzyme that hydrolyzes DNA 16 bp away from the end of the Tn insert, and fractionation into oligonucleotides of 1,200-1,500 bp that were prepared for high-throughput sequencing. …”
