TL;DR: In this article, the authors tested 283 retropharyngeal lymph node (RPLN) samples collected from 151 free-living and 132 captive deer in Iowa from April 2020 through December of 2020 for the presence of SARS-CoV-2 RNA.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Seasonal IAV infection in healthy cynomolgus macaques caused mild pneumonia, but unexpectedly, did not predispose these animals to subsequent severe infection with the community-associated MRSA clone USA300, suggesting comorbidity factors in addition to IAV infections are required to predispose individuals to secondary S. aureus pneumonia.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reduced in vitro functional activity of human NRAMP1 ( SLC11A1 ) allele that predisposes to increased risk of pediatric tuberculosis disease

TL;DR: An assay for humanNRAMP1 functional activity and concomitant evidence for reduced NRAMP1 function in the common genetic variant shown to be associated with tuberculosis susceptibility in pediatric patients are described.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: A molecular mechanism by which hierarchical regulation of carbon source utilization influences bacterial pathogenesis in a site‐specific fashion is delineated.
Journal ArticleDOI
