Identification of Critical Immune Regulators and Potential Interactions of IL-26 in -Infected Ducks by Transcriptome Analysis and Profiling.

(RA) is an economically important pathogen in the duck industry worldwide that causes high mortality and morbidity in infected birds. We previously found that upregulated IL-17A expression in ducks infected with RA participates in the pathogenesis of the disease, but this mechanism is not linked to IL-23, which primarily promotes Th17 cell differentiation and proliferation. RNA sequencing analysis was used in this study to investigate other mechanisms of IL-17A upregulation in RA infection.

Comparative Analysis of Antibiotic Resistance and Biofilm Characteristics of Two Major Species from Poultry Slaughterhouses in South Korea.

The spread of antibiotic-resistant in the poultry industry poses significant public health challenges due to multidrug resistance and biofilm formation. We investigated the antibiotic resistance profiles and biofilm characteristics of and isolates from chicken meat in poultry slaughterhouses in South Korea. Ninety-six isolates (forty-eight each of and ) were collected between March and September 2022.
