Mycoplasmas, the smallest bacteria lacking a cell wall, can cause various diseases in both
humans and animals. Mycoplasmas harbor a variety of virulence factors that enable them to …

Mycoplasmas as economically important and pantropic pathogens can cause similar clinical
diseases in different hosts by eluding host defense and establishing their niches despite …

Intra-amniotic inflammation is strongly associated with spontaneous preterm labor and birth,
the leading cause of perinatal mortality and morbidity worldwide. Previous studies have …

Problem The inflammasome is implicated in the mechanisms that lead to spontaneous
preterm labor (PTL). However, whether there is inflammasome activation in the amniotic …

The class Mollicutes (trivial name" mycoplasma") is composed of wall-less bacteria with
reduced genomes whose evolution was long thought to be only driven by gene losses …

Background The inflammasome has been implicated in the mechanisms that lead to
spontaneous labor at term. However, whether the inflammasome is activated in the amniotic …

We previously reported that feeding Se-biofortified alfalfa hay to weaned beef calves in a
preconditioning program decreases morbidity and mortality during the feedlot period. To …

Human Ureaplasma species are being increasingly recognized as opportunistic pathogens
in human genitourinary tract infections, infertility, adverse pregnancy, neonatal morbidities …

Bacterial sexually transmitted infections (BSTIs) are becoming increasingly significant with
the approach of a post-antibiotic era. While treatment options dwindle, the transmission of …

The Mollicutes class encompasses wall-less microbes with a reduced genome. They may
