In China, the high prevalence of macrolide-resistant MP (MRMP) and recurrent MP epidemics place a significant burden on the healthcare system. Leveraging data from over 1.6 million cases, this study provides a comprehensive analysis of the epidemiological characteristics of MP across China. Seasonal patterns analysis revealed three distinct transmission zones in China. Transmission Zone 1 exhibited two annual epidemic peaks, while Zones 2 and 3 showed a single annual peak of distinct timings. Notably, winter travel to popular tourist destinations appears to influence MP infection patterns in China. Age- and sex- specific analysis indicated male newborns aged [0-1) years face a 1.67 times higher risk of MP infection compared to females. Conversely, females aged [23-38) years have a higher infection risk, likely due to their caregiving roles. The proportion of MRMP surged from 80.00% to 93.02% between July 2023 and May 2024, with a median growth rate of 10.21%. This rapid increase contrasts sharply with the modest 5.3% rise observed from 2011 to 2019, and we attribute this escalation in part to the growing prevalence of the T1-3R clade strain in China. These findings have important implications for the identification of high-risk population, place, and time for more targeted efforts of prevention and treatment. Furthermore, the rapidly increased proportion of MRMP in the 2023-24 season raises a concerning signal regarding antibiotic use.</p>","PeriodicalId":11602,"journal":{"name":"Emerging Microbes & Infections","volume":" ","pages":"2482703"},"PeriodicalIF":8.4,"publicationDate":"2025-03-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143729367","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Hence, we sought to elucidate and compare the differential responses of the nasal epithelium against HPAI infection that may contribute to its pathology, and to identify critical response markers.

While less adapted to infecting the nasal epithelium, HPAI H5N1 elicited unique host responses unlike seasonal influenza. Interestingly, H5N1 infection of hNECs induced responses indicative of subdued antiviral activity (e.g. reduced expression of IFNβ, and inflammasome mediators, IL-1α and IL-1β); decreased wound healing; suppressed re-epithelialization; compromised epithelial barrier integrity; diminished responses to oxidative stress; and increased transmembrane solute and ion carrier gene expression.

The virus was found predominantly in the eye and brain where DENV infects neurons but not astrocytes and causes extensive infiltration of macrophages and microglia activation.
