The geographical region of origin determines the phagocytic vulnerability of Lichtheimia strains
Environmental Microbiology, Volume 21, Issue 12, Page 4563-4581, December 2019., 2019 Summary Mucormycoses are life‐threatening infections that affect patients suffering from immune deficiencies. We performed phagocytosis assays confronting various strains of Lichtheimia species with alveolar macrophages, which form the first line of defence of the innate immune system.

Development of a new chlamydiales-specific real-time PCR and its application to respiratory clinical samples. [PDF]
, 2011 Originally composed of the single family Chlamydiaceae, the Chlamydiales order has extended considerably over the last several decades. Chlamydia-related bacteria were added and classified into six different families and family-level lineages: the ...

Chlamydia trachomatis Growth and Cytokine mRNA Response in a Prostate Cancer Cell Line
Advances in Urology, Volume 2019, Issue 1, 2019., 2019 In the present paper, we report that C. trachomatis can be efficiently propagated and affect mRNA expression for two major cytokines, relevant to tumor progression, in CWR‐R1 cells, a malignant prostate cell line. CWR‐R1 and McCoy cells, a classic cell line for chlamydial research, were grown and infected with C.

Cytometry Part A, Volume 93, Issue 5, Page 525-532, May 2018., 2018 The illustration shows a simple, rapid, flow cytometry based assay to measure the capacity of antibodies to mediate Fc‐receptor dependent phagocytosis of labeled bacteria. Abstract Globally, an estimated 131 million new cases of chlamydial infection occur annually.
