Virulent Type A Francisella tularensis actively suppresses cytokine responses in human monocytes

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2014
Francisella tularensis is a Gram-negative facultative bacterium that can cause the disease tularemia, even upon exposure to low numbers of bacteria. One critical characteristic of Francisella is its ability to dampen or subvert the host immune response ...

Effect of High‐Pressure Processing Operating Parameters on Microbial Inactivation and Bioactive Protein Preservation in Bovine Milk: A Systematic Review

Comprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety, Volume 25, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT In the U.S., bovine milk is processed using thermal pasteurization to ensure microbial safety. However, this process alters the structure of heat‐sensitive bioactive proteins associated with the functional benefits of raw milk, including antimicrobial, immunomodulatory, and antioxidant proteins.

Alpha-1 Antitrypsin is Markedly Decreased Following Pulmonary F. tularensis Challenge [PDF]

, 2011
Neutrophils form the first line of defense during infection and are indispensable in this function. The neutrophil elastase is a key effector molecule of the innate immune system with potent antimicrobial activity against Gram-negative bacteria ...

Extraneurological Presentations of Tick‐Borne Encephalitis Virus: A Rare Case of TBEV‐Associated Myocarditis With Fever and Bicytopenia and a Systematic Literature Review

Case Reports in Infectious Diseases, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Purpose Tick‐borne encephalitis (TBE), a zoonotic disease caused by the tick‐borne encephalitis virus (TBEV), usually manifests with a biphasic course with neurological involvement during its second phase. Extraneurological manifestations are rare but clinically relevant.

Lethal Case of Bourbon Virus Leading to Shock and ECMO Utilization

Case Reports in Infectious Diseases, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
We present a lethal case of Bourbon virus infection in a 63‐year‐old Caucasian, diabetic male who was previously in good health. The patient had spent time in the wooded areas of Bourbon County, Kansas, and removed three ticks from his body 5 days prior to presentation.
