A transgenic mouse line for rabies virus-mediated trans-synaptic tracing in the postnatal developing brain. by Kengo Inada, Mitsue Hagihara, Miho Kihara, Takaya Abe, Kazunari Miyamichi

“…The distribution of presynaptic neurons was largely similar in the juvenile and adult stages, suggesting that paraventricular vasopressin neurons do not significantly change their presynaptic inputs during post-weaning development. Taken together, these findings suggest that the Ai162-nCTG line can be used for rabies virus-mediated trans-synaptic tracing when AAV administration is challenging. …”

A chronic Acinetobacter baumannii pneumonia model to study long-term virulence factors, antibiotic treatments, and polymicrobial infections by Clay D. Jackson-Litteken, Gisela Di Venanzio, Manon Janet-Maitre, Ítalo A. Castro, Joseph J. Mackel, Leslie D. Wilson, David A. Rosen, Carolina B. López, Mario F. Feldman

“…Our understanding of A. baumannii respiratory pathogenesis relies on an acute murine infection model with limited clinical relevance that employs an unnaturally high number of bacteria and requires assessment of bacterial load at 24-36 h post-infection. Here, we demonstrate that low intranasal inoculums in tlr4 mutant mice allows for infections lasting at least 3 weeks. …”
