Prevalence and geographic variation of enteric pathogens among asymptomatic individuals in China: a nationwide, cross-sectional, multiplex molecular survey

The increasing use of multiplex molecular assays has improved the detection of enteric pathogens, but baseline carriage in asymptomatic populations remains poorly characterized, complicating the interpretation of positive test results. We aimed to investigate the prevalence and g...

The dual role of fibrinogen in vascular permeability and alveolar senescence reveals its potential as a pharmacological target for asthma

Fibrinogen (Fg), a critical mediator in vascular and inflammatory diseases, is poorly understood in asthma pathogenesis. Here, our data support a model in which Fg acts as a dual-function driver of asthma progression through distinct endothelial and epithelial mechanisms, and we...

Comprehensive genomic characterization of extraintestinal pathogenic Escherichia coli isolated from neonates: multiple center insights into virulence, resistance, and transmission dynamics

Neonatal extraintestinal pathogenic Escherichia coli (ExPEC), which can cause severe long-term sequelae by systemic infections, is gradually becoming the primary pathogen threatening neonatal health. The lack of large-scale genomic epidemiological investigation hinders further un...
