(, Mp) is a cell wall-deficient microorganism known to cause chronic respiratory infections in both children and adults. Nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-containing protein 2 (NOD2) is an intracellular pattern recognition receptor primarily responsible for identifying muramyl dipeptide (MDP) found in bacterial cell walls. Previous experiments have demonstrated that induces macrophage autophagy through NOD2.

(, Mp) is an intracellular pathogen that causes pneumonia, tracheobronchitis, pharyngitis, and asthma in humans and can infect and survive in the host cells leading to excessive immune responses. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) from host cells carry components of pathogens to recipient cells and play a role in intercellular communication during infection. However, there is limited knowledge on whether EVs derived from -infected macrophages play as intercellular messengers and functional mechanisms.

Article Synopsis
  • * A study using 16S rRNA sequencing and metabolomic analysis revealed significant differences in nasal microbial diversity between healthy cattle and those with BRD, with specific probiotics being less abundant in diseased cattle.
  • * Changes in serum metabolites, particularly decreases in lactic acid and sarcosine, indicate potential impairments in energy generation and immune response in BRD-affected cattle, providing insights for future monitoring and treatment strategies.
