Medical Clinics of North America, 1997 Non-opportunistic bacterial infections are an important cause of morbidity and mortality for HIV-infected adults and children. Factors associated with increased risk of these include altered B- and T-cell function; altered phagocytic cell function; skin and mucous membrane defects; and use of indwelling vascular catheters, antibiotics, or cytotoxic ...

Epigenetics and Bacterial Infections [PDF]
Cold Spring Harbor Perspectives in Medicine, 2012 Epigenetic mechanisms regulate expression of the genome to generate various cell types during development or orchestrate cellular responses to external stimuli. Recent studies highlight that bacteria can affect the chromatin structure and transcriptional program of host cells by influencing diverse epigenetic factors (i.e., histone modifications, DNA ...

Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - General Subjects, 2015 FK506-binding proteins (FKBPs) contain a domain with peptidyl-prolyl-cis/trans-isomerase (PPIase) activity and bind the immunosuppressive drugs FK506 and rapamycin. FKBPs belong to the immunophilin family and are found in eukaryotes and bacteria.In this review we describe two major groups of bacterial virulence-associated FKBPs, the trigger factor and ...

Autophagy and Bacterial infections. [PDF]
Autophagy RepAutophagy is an evolutionarily conserved cellular process that is prominent during bacterial infections. In this review article, we discuss how direct pathogen clearance via xenophagy and regulation of inflammatory products represent dual functions of autophagy that coordinate an effective antimicrobial response.

Ribosomal Protein Rps26 Influences 80S Ribosome Assembly in
mSphere, 2016 The eukaryotic ribosome consists of a small (40S) and a large (60S) subunit. Rps26 is one of the essential ribosomal proteins of the 40S subunit and is encoded by two almost identical genes, RPS26a and RPS26b.

Immunogenicity and safety among laboratory workers vaccinated with Bexsero® vaccine
Human Vaccines & Immunotherapeutics, 2017 Neisseria meningitidis serogroup B is the most prevalent cause of invasive meningococcal disease in Europe and members of laboratories working on meningococci are at risk due to frequent handling.

mBio, 2018 Many Gram-negative bacterial symbionts and pathogens employ a type III secretion system (T3SS) to live in contact with eukaryotic cells. Because T3SSs inject bacterial proteins (effectors) directly into host cells, the switching of secretory substrates ...
