Acute diarrheal illness (ADI) causes a substantial disease burden in high-income countries. We investigated associations between potentially pathogenic organisms in stools and ADI by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in Australian children aged <2 years.
Neisseria meningitidis, the meningococcus, resides exclusively in humans and causes invasive meningococcal disease (IMD). The population of N. meningitidis is structured into stable clonal complexes by limited horizontal recombination in this naturally transformable species.
Overweight and other risk factors for cardiovascular disease (CVD) as well as their clustering, are increasingly prevalent among adolescents.
Accurate measurement of dietary intake is essential for understanding the long-term effects of adolescent diet on chronic disease risk.
Severe hospitalized varicella still occurs with a 1-dose varicella program, although predominantly in unvaccinated children
Nutrition is one of the most easily modifiable environmental factors during early life that may play a role in allergic disease prevention.
We propose that the molecular and cellular events that govern a resolving, rather than an evolving, disease may reveal new druggable pathways.

Previous histological and imaging studies have shown the presence of variability in the degree of bronchoconstriction of airways sampled at different locations.
Bacteriophage (phage) propagation has traditionally relied on bacterial culture media containing animal-derived ingredients; however, safety concerns with animal-derived materials for production of phages for therapeutic use limit their acceptability. We compared animal-free and traditional media formulations, and evaluated effects on phage yield, bactericidal activity, and genomic characteristics, hypothesizing no significant differences would be observed.
