Chlamydophila pneumoniae changes iron homeostasis in infected tissues

International Journal of Medical Microbiology, 2008
Many bacteria, including Chlamydophila pneumoniae (C. pneumoniae), are dependent on iron (Fe) for their growth. However, it is not known whether bacterial infections affect gastrointestinal uptake and uptake of trace elements in infected tissues. A human C.

Chlamydophila pneumoniae Infection Induces Alterations in Vascular Contractile Responses [PDF]

The American Journal of Pathology, 2012
Chlamydophila pneumoniae infection has been associated in previous studies with coronary artery disease. The live bacterium has been detected within atherosclerotic plaques and can induce the structural remodeling of the vessel wall. However, the direct effects of infection on the contractile characteristics of the arteries remain unknown.

Torque Teno Virus Levels During Viral Respiratory Infections: The Interplay With Immune Dysregulation and Coagulopathy Biomarkers

Journal of Medical Virology, Volume 98, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Torque teno virus (TTV) is a ubiquitous, nonenveloped DNA virus of the Anelloviridae family and a proposed surrogate marker of immune competence. Although nonpathogenic, its replication reflects host immune status and is associated with immune dysregulation during respiratory viral infections (RVIs).
