Causes and Seasonality of Upper Respiratory Infections in Adults in Lesotho (2021–2022) (CORIAL)

Canadian Journal of Infectious Diseases and Medical Microbiology, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Background Upper respiratory tract infections cause morbidity and a high burden on healthcare systems worldwide, especially in low‐ and lower middle‐income countries. Recent studies throughout Africa indicate seasonal patterns that deviate from those previously described in settings with temperate climates.

Genome-based prediction of cross-protective, HLA-DR-presented epitopes as putative vaccine antigens for multiple Bordetella species

Microbiology Spectrum
Acellular pertussis vaccines protect against severe pertussis, but vaccine-induced immunity wanes over time. Prior animal studies showed that T-cell responses are integral to long-lasting immunity.

Improvement of Mycoplasma pneumoniae–Associated Acute Cerebellar Ataxia and Possible Encephalopathy After Intravenous Immunoglobulin

Case Reports in Infectious Diseases, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Mycoplasma pneumoniae (M. pneumoniae) can cause acute postinfectious cerebellar ataxia and encephalitis/encephalopathy. Although ataxia can be self‐limited, prolonged duration of symptoms and long‐term neurological sequelae that persist for months or more are associated with both conditions.

Specific and cross-reacting monoclonal antibodies to Bordetella parapertussis and Bordetella bronchiseptica lipopolysaccharides [PDF]

Microbiology, 1994
Three groups of monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) were produced that would be useful for immunochemical typing and diagnosis of infections due to Bordetella species, and for the structural analysis of their lipopolysaccharides. PP6, a representative of the first group, recognizes an epitope shared by smooth-type Bordetella parapertussis and Bordetella ...

Severe Necrotizing Community‐Acquired Pneumonia and Bilateral Empyema in an Immunocompetent Patient due to Fusobacterium necrophorum

Case Reports in Pulmonology, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Necrotizing pneumonia and empyema caused by Fusobacterium necrophorum are uncommon. The classical presentation of Lemierre′s syndrome, characterized by pharyngotonsillitis and internal jugular vein thrombosis, is not always observed, and incomplete and atypical variants can cause diagnostic uncertainty and delay in treatment.
