Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) is one of the major pathogens responsible for severe foodborne infections, and the common serotypes include E. coli O157, O26, O45, O103, O111, O121, and O145. Vaccination has the potential to prevent STEC infections, but no licensed vaccines are available to provide protection against multiple STEC infections.

In the military, combat wound infections can progress rapidly to life-threatening sepsis. The discovery of effective small-molecule drugs to prevent and/or treat sepsis is a priority. To identify potential sepsis drug candidates, we used an optimized larval zebrafish model of endotoxicity/sepsis to screen commercial libraries of drugs approved by the U.

Fowl typhoid (FT) poses a significant threat to the poultry industry and can cause substantial economic losses, especially in developing regions. Caused by Salmonella Gallinarum (SG), vaccination can prevent FT. However, existing vaccines, like the SG9R strain, have limitations, including residual virulence and potential reversion of pathogenicity.

The generation of hypothyroid and hyperthyroid mouse models is one of the approaches used to investigate the complex interplay between thyroid hormones and the immune system. We present a detailed protocol describing how to induce endotoxic shock by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) administration, and how to investigate the role of immune populations, specifically macrophages, responding to endotoxemia.This book chapter provides the use of different molecular techniques, such as Western Blotting, Immunohistochemistry, q-PCR, Luciferase assays, or ChIP assays, with which researchers can gain valuable insights into the immune system's interaction with hormonal signaling pathways, for instance, examining the effect of thyroid hormones on signaling of STAT3, NF-κB, and ERK in response to LPS, and inflammatory mediators, such as interleukin-6 (IL-6) or tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNFα) within these cells.
