Photodynamic therapy of cancer‐associated infections

open access: yesPhotochemistry and Photobiology, EarlyView.
Pathogens can be involved in tumor initiation, promotion and progression through different mechanisms, and their treatment can prevent new cancer cases, improve outcomes, and revert poor‐prognostic phenotypes. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) successfully treats different types of cancers and infections, and, therefore, has a unique potential to address ...

Probiotics and the Prevention of Clostridioides difficile: A Review of Existing Systematic Reviews [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Clostridioides difficile is the leading cause of infectious diarrhea (Vernaya et al., 2017). Probiotics have been proposed to provide a protective benefit against Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI).

Antibiotic Exposure and Risk of Allograft Rejection and Survival After Liver Transplant: An Observational Cohort Study From a Tertiary Referral Centre

open access: yesTransplant Infectious Disease, EarlyView.
Because the relationship between the gut microbiota and liver transplant outcomes is not well described, it is possible that there are, as yet, unrecognized negative impacts of antibiotic exposures on key liver transplant‐related outcomes. We observed a negative association between antibiotic exposures, particularly those with an anaerobic spectrum of ...

The future of healthcare‐associated infection surveillance: Automated surveillance and using the potential of artificial intelligence

open access: yesJournal of Internal Medicine, Volume 298, Issue 2, Page 54-77, August 2025.
Abstract Healthcare‐associated infections (HAIs) are common adverse events, and surveillance is considered a core component of effective HAI reduction programmes. Recently, efforts have focused on automating the traditional manual surveillance process by utilizing data from electronic health record (EHR) systems.

Interaction Between Microbiota and Immunity: Molecular Mechanisms, Biological Functions, Diseases, and New Therapeutic Opportunities

open access: yesMedComm, Volume 6, Issue 7, July 2025.
This review systematically concludes the interaction between microbiota and immunity. We introduce six phyla: Bacteroidetes, Firmicutes, Actinobacteria, Proteobacteria, Fusobacteria, and Verrucomicrobia. We also elucidate molecular mechanisms, biological functions, diseases, and new therapeutic opportunities between microbiota and immunity. .
