People with CF should ensure that they are adequately and currently protected against pertussis, to avoid whooping cough, which may also offer some cross﹑rotection against B. bronchiseptica and therefore help further mitigate the risk of zoonotic infection of this organism from pets to their owners...

To investigate the correlation between the composition of VPs and their animal hosts, we first calculated the distribution of the VPs in each animal host. We discovered that 99.91% (n = 64,863) of VPs had only one animal host (referred to as organism-specific from now on), while onl...
While differences in subcellular localization may confer unique functions, it remains unclear why a single-celled organism such as Saccharomyces cerevisiae expresses five different P4-ATPases. Dnf1, Dnf2, Dnf3, and Drs2 form an essential group with both overlapping and nonoverlapping functions. For ...
