Chlamydia pneumoniae CopD translocator protein plays a critical role in type III secretion (T3S) and infection. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
Pathogenic Gram-negative bacteria use type III secretion (T3S) to inject effector proteins into the host cell to create appropriate conditions for infection and intracellular replication. Chlamydia spp.

Incidence of RSV‐ and Influenza‐Associated Hospitalizations With Community‐Acquired Pneumonia and Other Acute Respiratory Infection Among Adults in Japan in 2022–2024: APSG‐J2 Study

Influenza and Other Respiratory Viruses, Volume 20, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Quantifying the burden of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) in adults is challenging compared to influenza, and data among older adults remain scarce in Japan. Country‐specific evidence is essential to support RSV vaccination policy.

Hypothetical protein Cpn0423 triggers NOD2 activation and contributes to Chlamydia pneumoniae-mediated inflammation

BMC Microbiology, 2017
Background Chlamydia pneumoniae (C. pneumoniae) is pathogenic to humans, by causing pulmonary inflammation or bronchitis in both adolescents and young adults. However, the molecular signals linking C. pneumoniae components to inflammation remain elusive.

Intranasal vaccination with Chlamydia pneumoniae induces cross-species immunity against genital Chlamydia muridarum challenge in mice. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
Chlamydia trachomatis is the most common bacterial sexually transmitted disease in the world and specifically in the United States, with the highest incidence in age-groups 14-19 years. In a subset of females, the C.

Balanced Expression of the Diiron Oxygenase BioE Is Essential for Biotin Homeostasis in Elizabethkingia meningoseptica

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 10, 18 February 2026.
BioE is a new diiron oxygenase that catalyzes the conversion of long‐chain acyl groups into pimeloyl thioester, initiating biotin synthesis. The overexpression of EmBioE disrupts lipid metabolic homeostasis, requiring repressor BioL to maintain a balance between long‐chain fatty acids and biotin synthesis.

Non-detection of Chlamydia species in carotid atheroma using generic primers by nested PCR in a population with a high prevalence of Chlamydia pneumoniae antibody

BMC Infectious Diseases, 2001
Background The association of Chlamydia pneumoniae with atherosclerosis is controversial. We investigated the presence of C. pneumoniae and other Chlamydia spp. in atheromatous carotid artery tissue. Methods Forty elective carotid endarterectomy patients

Crosstalk Between Intratumoral Microbes and Tumor Immunity: Implications for Tumor Therapy

Cancer Medicine, Volume 15, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Emerging studies indicate that microbes are present in tumor cells and immune cells. Intratumoral microbiota (ITM) constitute an important component of the tumor immune microenvironment (TIME) and have an important impact on tumor progression and treatment. Objective Through the general elaboration of ITM represented by bacteria and

The ZNF148‐ZEB1‐AS1‐IGF2BP2‐NOD2 Axis Drives Microglial Antipneumococcal Immunity in Bacterial Meningitis

Glia, Volume 74, Issue 2, February 2026.
ZNF148 upregulates ZEB1‐AS1, which scaffolds IGF2BP2 to stabilize NOD2 mRNA, enhancing microglial anti‐pneumococcal immunity via cytokine production and bacterial clearance in bacterial meningitis. ABSTRACT Streptococcus pneumoniae (Spn) meningitis remains a lethal central nervous system (CNS) infection with limited therapies. This study identifies the

Exploring microorganism–host interactions: Emerging organoid models and analytical approaches

mLife, Volume 5, Issue 1, Page 17-34, February 2026.
Abstract Microorganisms play a vital role in human health through their interactions with the body. Studies of host–microbe mechanisms and interactions are crucial for advancing health management. Recently, the organoid‐based models have provided new platforms in this field.
