Article Abstract
Background: Infection of mice with mouse-adapted strains of influenza virus has been widely used to establish mouse pneumonia models. Intranasal inoculation is the traditional route for constructing an influenza virus-induced pneumonia mouse model, while intratracheal inoculation has been gradually applied in recent years. In this article, the pathogenicity of influenza virus-induced pneumonia mouse models following intranasal and aerosolized intratracheal inoculation were compared.
Methods: By comparing the two ways of influenza inoculation, intranasal and intratracheal, a variety of indices such as survival rate, body weight change, viral titer and load, pathological change, lung wet/dry ratio, and inflammatory factors were investigated. Meanwhile, the transcriptome was applied for the initial exploration of the mechanism underlying the variations in the results between the two inoculation methods.
Results: The findings suggest that aerosolized intratracheal infection leads to more severe lung injury and higher viral loads in the lungs compared to intranasal infection, which may be influenced by the initial site of infection, sialic acid receptor distribution, and host innate immunity.
Conclusion: Intratracheal inoculation is a better method for modelling severe pneumonia in mice than intranasal infection.

Colibacillosis, caused by avian pathogenic Escherichia coli (APEC), is a disease of major economic importance to the broiler industry. This study aimed to investigate genetic variation in susceptibility to colibacillosis by comparing four pure broiler breeder lines and their commercial four-way cross offspring. Three consecutive experiments were performed assessing mortality, growth retardation and mean lesion scores (MLS) after E.

Background: In this study, we develop a standardized porcine model of distant injury plus lung bacterial inoculation to allow translational investigations of the effects of tissue injury on susceptibility to infection. This generalizable model will allow testing of immune interventions on the evolution of infection.
Methods: A standardized liver crush (5 cm × 2.

Mycobacterium avium is a drug-resistant bacterium that causes refractory respiratory infection. Perforin protects hosts against viral infection and tumors by inducing apoptosis. It is also thought to be important in innate immunity against intracellular pathogen infection, although its role remains controversial.

, an easily missed but potentially fatal opportunistic pathogen, can lead to serious infections like lung and brain abscesses. Intranasal inoculation (IN) is the traditional approach for constructing a -induced pneumonia mice model, while it usually only results in limited local bacterial infection in the lungs. To comprehensively assess infection dynamics across distinct pulmonary inoculation routes in mice models, this study compared the pathogenicity of three different pneumonia models established via IN, intratracheal aerosolization (ITA), and intratracheal instillation (ITI).
