Exacerbation of Anti‐Cytomegalovirus Immunity and Mobilization of γ9δ1 T Cells During the Acute Phase of Hepatitis E Virus Infection

Microbiology and Immunology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT HEV causes chronic infections that are detrimental to immunocompromised patients. Previous studies showed alterations of γδ T cell subsets at the acute phase of HEV infection. To assess a possible role of CMV, we have examined the frequencies and responses to CMV and HEV of blood γδ T cell subsets from control donors and acute‐phase HEV ...

In Vitro Activities of Five Antifungal Drugs Against Conidia and Sclerotic Cells of Chromoblastomycosis Agent Fonsecaea spp

Microbiology and Immunology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Chromoblastomycosis (CBM) is a chronic skin and subcutaneous infection mainly caused by Fonsecaea pedrosoi, a dematiaceous fungus with various morphotypes. Characteristic sclerotic cells—globe‐shaped, multiseptated and pigmented—are found in lesions of infected individuals, though their differentiation in the host remains poorly understood. To

Human gut Bacteroides capture vitamin B12 via cell surface-exposed lipoproteins. [PDF]

, 2018
Human gut Bacteroides use surface-exposed lipoproteins to bind and metabolize complex polysaccharides. Although vitamins and other nutrients are also essential for commensal fitness, much less is known about how commensal bacteria compete with each other

Therapeutic Efficacy of the Supersulfide Donor NAC‐S2 in Influenza Virus Pneumonia via Suppression of Excessive Inflammatory Responses

Microbiology and Immunology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Influenza pneumonia is characterized by excessive inflammatory responses that contribute to severe lung injury and mortality. Supersulfides, endogenously produced cysteine‐derived persulfides and polysulfides, exert potent antioxidant, anti‐ferroptotic, and anti‐inflammatory activities; however, their therapeutic potential after disease onset ...

Strain Traits of Intracranially Administered L‐Type Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy Prions Are not Significantly Modified During Intraspecies Transmission in Cynomolgus Monkeys

Microbiology and Immunology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Among the three prion strains of bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE), classical BSE (C‐BSE) prions are known causative agents of variant Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease. By contrast, human infections with L‐type (L‐) or H‐type (H‐) BSE prions have not been reported.

Comparison of the Prevalence of Bovine Leukemia Virus (BLV) in Holstein and Angus Cattle Breeds From Shandong Province, China

Microbiology and Immunology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Bovine leukemia virus (BLV) is widespread globally and causes economic losses in the cattle industry. Shandong Province plays a significant role in China's livestock industry, with an increasing importance in food of Holstein and Angus cattle. However, BLV prevalence in Holstein and Angus breeds in Shandong Province remains unclear.
