Pneumocystis jirovecii is a potential pivotal ecological driver contributing to shifts in microbial equilibrium during the early-life lower airway microbiome assembly

Researchers studied how bacteria and fungi colonize infant lungs during the first year of life by examining lung tissue from autopsied infants. They found that the lung microbiome undergoes major changes between 2-4 months of age, and that a common fungal infection called Pneumocystis plays a key role in reshaping this microbial community. These early-life changes could have lasting impacts on children’s respiratory health later in life.

Scientists studied fungi living inside the roots of a rare fragrant orchid called Aerides odorata. Using advanced microscopy and DNA analysis, they identified seven different types of fungi that help the orchid absorb nutrients and grow. These fungi form special structures called pelotons inside the plant’s root cells. This research helps scientists understand how to better grow and protect endangered orchids.
