New Trends in Interrelation of Infectious Colorectal Cancer with Intestinal Microbiota
The intestinal microbiota creates a bodily barrier for invading pathogen by using aggressive exclusion. Pathogens and immune cells can interact directly and dynamically with symbiotic bacteria, determining the pathophysiology and outcome of an infection. They can defend the host through a variety of processes, including attachment site occupancy, nutrition intake, metabolite competition, and the synthesis of antimicrobial compounds including bacteriocins that influence pathogen survival (a process referred to as colonization resistance).
Faecal Microbiota Transplantation as Primary Treatment for Clostridioidoes difficile Infection-evidence for Change
Clostridioides difficile is an anaerobic spore-forming gram positive bacillus that infects the gut microbiota leading to gastrointestinal disease with varied severities ranging from self-limiting diarrhea to life-threatening pseudomembranous colitis,
Towards a Better Understanding of Staphylococcus aureus Skin Infections-The Interactions with Dendritic Cells
Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) is the leading cause of skin and soft tissue infections in humans. Additionally, local infections further lead to dissemination and colonization of secondary infections sites including the lungs, heart valves and even medical prostheses. It is well known that this bacterial species is capable of altering host immune responses and that long-term protection against S. aureus is not completely effective.
Understanding the Role of the Scabies Mite Microbiota in the Development of Novel Control Strategies
With a global prevalence of approximately 300 million people, scabies is one of the most common dermatological infectious diseases worldwide, and was recognised as a neglected tropical disease in 2017 by the World Health Organisation. Scabies is especially prevalent in economically disadvantaged communities and disproportionately affects children in poor and overcrowded living conditions.
Gut Microbiota Metabolite Trimethylamine N-oxide Reduced Pancreatic β Cell Calcium Transients and Function
Pancreatic β cell dysfunction is an important cause of type 2 diabetes (T2D). Previous studies show trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO), a gut microbiota-related metabolite, promotes cardiovascular disease and insulin resistance. However, the effect and mechanism of TMAO at pathological concentrations on β cell function remain unknown. The recently published work demonstrates TMAO reduces pancreatic β cell function and glucose homeostasis.
