The Emerging Role of Microbial Extracellular Vesicles in Neuroinflammation and Neurodegeneration

Medicine Bulletin, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric disorders are increasingly viewed as systemic conditions shaped by interactions among peripheral immunity, microbiota, and the central nervous system. However, the mechanisms linking microbial activity to neuroinflammation and neurodegeneration remain poorly defined.

Novel molecular-based techniques of Cryptococcus identification in Cryptococcal meningitis: Recent advances and prospects

Journal of Advanced Biotechnology and Experimental Therapeutics
Meningitis is still a worldwide issue caused by Cryptococcus, also known as Cryptococcal meningitis. Cryptococcus infection is dependent on the host's immune condition.

Infection control in the brain and the eye

Acta Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.
Abstract The Central Nervous System (CNS), comprising the brain and the eye, is considered to have a ‘privileged’ mechanism for dealing with immunological challenge (immune privilege, IP). CNS IP has been revealed through experiments using foreign protein antigens and cell and tissue alloantigens (grafts), but evidence for a role for IP in modulating ...

Glycobiology of Human Fungal Pathogens: New Avenues for Drug Development

Cells, 2019
Invasive fungal infections (IFI) are an increasing threat to the developing world, with fungal spores being ubiquitous and inhaled every day. Some fungal species are commensal organisms that are part of the normal human microbiota, and, as such, do not ...

Invasive yeast infection in paediatric acute lymphoblastic leukaemia: A report from the multi‐international clinical trial AIEOP‐BFM ALL 2009

British Journal of Haematology, EarlyView.
Prospective data of a large randomized multi‐international leukaemia trial revealed an incidence of 1.1% of invasive yeast infections (IYIs) in children with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia. IYIs occurred predominantly during induction chemotherapy, presented as bloodstream infection ± tissue involvement, were due to a variety of yeast and had an ...

Cryptococcus laurentii Fungemia

Indian Journal of Medical Microbiology, 2013
In the last few years there has been an increasing incidence of infection due to non-neoformans Cryptococcus spp. especially in immunocompromised host. Cryptococcus laurentii is a non-neoformans Cryptococcus which has rarely been known to cause bacteremia and pulmonary infection in humans. Here we report a case of fungemia due to Cryptococcus laurentii.

Case Report: Streptococcus Suis Meningitis Diagnosed in a HIV-Infected Patient With Cryptococcal Meningitis Using Next-Generation Sequencing

Frontiers in Medicine, 2021
Background: Streptococcus suis has been recognized as a zoonotic pathogen that may cause infections in humans. Although rarely described, it is not surprising that both cryptococcal and streptococcus suis meningitis infections can co-exist in a HIV ...

Nutritional Requirements and Their Importance for Virulence of Pathogenic Cryptococcus Species [PDF]

, 2017
Cryptococcus sp. are basidiomycete yeasts which can be found widely, free-living in the environment. Interactions with natural predators, such as amoebae in the soil, are thought to have promoted the development of adaptations enabling the organism to ...

Two Metschnikowia nectar yeast species have similar volatile profiles but elicit differential foraging in bee pollinators

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.
Yeasts that specialize in flower nectar play an important role in pollination ecology. Metschnikowia reukaufii and Metschnikowia koreensis were the most prevalent nectar yeasts found in our field sites. Bee pollinators exhibited different behavioural responses to nectar yeasts in field experiments. Bees visited more flowers with M.
