Mucosal‐Associated Invariant T Cells in Health and Disease

MedComm, Volume 7, Issue 10, October 2026.
The roles of MAIT cells in health and disease and their therapeutic applications. In healthy individuals, riboflavin metabolites secreted by commensal bacteria at mucosal sites are presented by MR1, leading to the activation of MAIT cells. Activated MAIT cells can maintain the barrier integrity of mucosal tissues in a steady state or migrate to the ...

Francisella subverts innate immune signaling: Focus on PI3K/Akt [PDF]

, 2011
Intracellular bacterial pathogens exploit host cells as a part of their lifecycle, and they do so by manipulating host cell signaling events. Many such bacteria are known to produce effector proteins that promote cell invasion, alter membrane trafficking

Putting the Jigsaw Together - A Brief Insight Into the Tularemia

Open Life Sciences, 2015
Tularemia is a debilitating febrile and potentially fatal zoonotic disease of humans and other vertebrates caused by the Gram-negative bacterium Francisella tularensis. The natural reservoirs are small rodents, hares, and possibly amoebas in water.

Genomic and Phenotypic Classification of Staphylococcus Species Isolated From Delhi Air

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 5, October 2026.
Multiple Staphylococcus spp. were isolated from the outdoor polluted air of the Indian Capital, New Delhi. The bacterial samples were collected from 6 different locations, and the whole genome of four Staphylococcus isolates was sequenced in their entirety. This study presents the comparative genomic analysis of these four isolates.

Helicobacter pylori In Free‐Living Amoebae: A Potential Environmental Reservoir for Persistence and Transmission

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 5, October 2026.
Free‐living amoebae may provide an underrecognised environmental niche for Helicobacter pylori, supporting its intracellular persistence, morphological plasticity, and protection from environmental stress. These interactions could facilitate prolonged survival in aquatic and food‐associated environments and contribute to potential waterborne or ...

Francisella recognition by inflammasomes: differences between Mice and Men

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2011
Pathogen recognition by intracellular sensors involves the assembly of a caspase-1 activation machine termed the inflammasome. Intracellular pathogens like Francisella that gain access to the cytosolic detection systems are useful tools to uncover the ...

Sequencing and functional analysis of a Francisella tularensis pathogenicity island

, 2008
Francisella tularensis, a Gram-negative coccobacillus, is an extremely virulent intracellular pathogen. Infection of humans with this pathogen results in tularemia, a life-threatening disease. An approximately 35 kb region found in the F.
