Two psychrotolerant facultative anaerobes, strains B7-2 and B5, were isolated from the Zoige Wetland on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau. The 16S rRNA gene sequences of strains B7-2 and B5 shared high similarity (>99 %) with those of the type strains of the genus Trichococcus, while their digital DNA-DNA hybridization values with each other (49 %) and with the reference type strains (48-23 %) were lower than 70 %, which suggest that they represent two novel species of the genus Trichococcus. Cells of strains B7-2 and B5 were immotile cocci, grew in the temperature range of 4-37 °C (optimum 25 °C) and were alkaliphilic with optimum growth at pH 9.0. The major components of the cellular fatty acids were C16 : 0, anteiso-C17 : 0 and C18 : 0 for strain B7-2, and C16 : 0, anteiso-C17 : 0, C18 : 1ω9c and C18 : 0 for strain B5. The genomic DNA G+C contents were 46.0 and 46.7 mol% for strains B7-2 and B5, respectively. Based on physiological and genomic characteristics, it is suggested that strains B7-2 and B5 represent two novel species within the genus Trichococcus, for which the names Trichococcus paludicola sp. nov. and Trichococcus alkaliphilus sp. nov. are proposed. The type strains are B7-2 (=DSM 104691=KCTC 33886) and B5 (=DSM 104692=KCTC 33885), respectively.

Background: Community-acquired pneumonia often stems from the macrolide-resistant strain of Mycoplasma pneumoniae, yet no effective vaccine exists against it.
Methods: This study proposes a vaccine-immunoinformatics strategy for Mycoplasma pneumoniae and other pathogenic microbes. Specifically, dominant B and T cell epitopes of the Mycoplasma pneumoniae P30 adhesion protein were identified through immunoinformatics method.

Herpes simplex virus 2 (HSV-2) causes most sexually transmitted genital ulcerative disease. No effective prophylactic vaccine is currently available. Replication-defective (ICP8-) HSV stimulates immune responses in animals without producing progeny virus, making it potentially useful as a safe form of a live vaccine against HSV.

Objective: To explore the expression of peripheral blood dendritic cells (DCs) CD86, CD80, and Th1/Th2 in patients with sepsis and their value on survival prediction.
Methods: 118 patients with sepsis from January 2019 to December 2020 were selected, According to the prognosis, the patients were divided into the death group ( = 46) and survival group ( = 72). The general data and pathogen division of the two groups were collected, and the levels of peripheral blood DCs CD86, CD80, and Th1/Th2; APACHE II score; inflammatory factor (procalcitonin (PCT)); and cell growth chemokine (GRO) were compared between the two groups heparin-binding protein (HBP) and myocardial enzyme indexes (creatine kinase (CK), creatine kinase isozyme (CK-MB), and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH)) to explore the relationship between CD86, CD80, Th1/Th2, and various serological indexes and the evaluation value of prognosis.

In view of the high infection rate of Helicobacter pylori, a safe and effective vaccine is urgently needed. Recent trends in vaccine design have shifted toward safe and specific epitope-based vaccines. In this study, by using different immunoinformatics approaches, a total of eight linear B cell epitopes, four HTL and three CTL epitopes of FlaA and UreB proteins of H.

In inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), the therapeutic benefit and mucosal healing from specific probiotics may relate to the modulation of dendritic cells (DCs). Herein, we assessed the immunomodulatory effects of four probiotic strains including , , and natto on the expression of co-stimulatory molecules, cytokine production and gene expression of signal-transducing receptors in DCs from IBD patients. Human monocyte-derived DCs from IBD patients and healthy controls were exposed to four probiotic strains.
