Hemolytic activity of Borrelia burgdorferi [PDF]

Infection and Immunity, 1992
Zones of beta-hemolysis occurred around colonies of Borrelia burgdorferi grown on Barbour-Stoenner-Kelly medium containing agarose and horse blood. Blood plates were inoculated with either the infective strain Sh-2-82 or noninfective strain B-31 in an overlay and incubated in a candle jar. Both strains of B. burgdorferi displayed beta-hemolysis after 1

Rewriting Tumor Immunity With Bacterial Membrane Vesicles: A Versatile and Potent Therapeutic Strategy

Advanced NanoBiomed Research, EarlyView.
Bacterial membrane vesicles (BMVs) emerge as promising platforms for cancer immunotherapy owing to their intrinsic adjuvant properties and tunable cargo delivery capabilities. Their ability to modulate the tumor microenvironment, enhance antitumor immune responses, and support personalized therapeutic strategies highlights their growing potential as ...

A New Paradigm: 46 Structural Cell Types Function as Environment‐Supporting Innate Immune Cells, With Endothelial and Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells as Key Prototypes

iNew Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The scope, organization, and biological significance of innate immune functions across structural cell types remain poorly defined. To address these fundamental knowledge gaps, we analyzed experimental data of transcriptomes generated by our group and others.

Genetics ofBorrelia burgdorferi [PDF]

Annual Review of Genetics, 2012
The spirochetes in the Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato genospecies group cycle in nature between tick vectors and vertebrate hosts. The current assemblage of B. burgdorferi sensu lato, of which three species cause Lyme disease in humans, originated from a rapid species radiation that occurred near the origin of the clade.

A Comprehensive Study of Bidirectional Interactions Between the Human Microbiome and Blood Malignancies and Hematologic Conditions: Focus on Novel Therapeutic Strategies

Journal of Clinical Laboratory Analysis, EarlyView.
Microbiota‐targeted therapeutic strategies in hematological disorders. aHSCT: Transplanted immune cells from the donor may attack the recipient's tissues, especially when damage to the intestinal epithelium disrupts the gut microbiota, contributing to GVHD. Maintaining a balanced gut microbiota that supports immune regulation helps reduce GVHD risk and

Recovery of Borrelia burgdorferi by filtration [PDF]

Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 1993
Bacterial contamination frequently interferes with successful recovery of the Lyme spirochete from cultures of tissue from Borrelia burgdorferi-infected humans, rodents, or ticks. We used 0.20- and 0.45-microns-pore-size syringe-tip filters to recover spirochetes from cultures contaminated with other bacteria.

Borrelia and Genital Lichen Sclerosus: A Critical Review of the Evidence

JEADV Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Lichen sclerosus (LSc) is a chronic inflammatory dermatosis that primarily affects the genitalia. Growing evidence supports chronic occlusive urine exposure as the principal pathogenic driver, though other mechanisms, including mechanical irritation, hormonal influences, autoimmunity, and infection, have been proposed.

Taste Dysfunction and Bell's Palsy: A Scoping Review

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
Taste dysfunction is a well‐recognized but inconsistently reported symptom in Bell's palsy. This scoping review found that taste dysfunction is prevalent in these patients, often precedes facial weakness, and commonly improves within 6 months. Standardized, longitudinal studies employing validated psychophysical measures are needed to clarify the ...
