Methyl indole-3-acetate contributes to strain-specific anti-inflammatory effects of Lactiplantibacillus plantarum

Lactiplantibacillus plantarum is a widely recognized probiotic with anti-inflammatory potential, yet its efficacy varies among strains and the underlying determinants remain poorly defined. Here, we identify methyl indole-3-acetate (MIA), a previously uncharacterized microbial me...

Development of a multiplex real-time PCR assay with fluorescence probe-melting-curve analysis for one-tube detection of respiratory pathogens

Pathogens causing respiratory infections have reemerged globally since the COVID-19 pandemic. Rapid and accurate identification of respiratory pathogens is critical for diagnosis and treatment. In this study, we developed and evaluated a multiplex real-time PCR assay with a fluor...
