By dawn or dusk—how circadian timing rewrites bacterial infection outcomes
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.The circadian clock shapes immune function, yet its influence on infection outcomes is only beginning to be understood. This review highlights how circadian timing alters host responses to the bacterial pathogens Salmonella enterica, Listeria monocytogenes, and Streptococcus pneumoniae revealing that the effectiveness of immune defense depends not only

Homeostatic control of an iron repressor in a GI tract resident
eLife, 2023 The transition metal iron plays a crucial role in living cells. However, high levels of iron are potentially toxic through the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), serving as a deterrent to the commensal fungus Candida albicans for colonization ...

Proceedings of the American Thoracic Society, 1992 Increased travel and outdoor leisure activities place the elderly individual at risk for infection with the endemic mycoses, histoplasmosis, blastomycosis, coccidioidomycoses, and sporotrichosis. Elderly patients who are immunosuppressed are at risk for infection with the opportunistic fungi such as Candida and Aspergillus.

Archives of Disease in Childhood, 1989 The dermatophyte or ringworm infections are confined to stratum corneum or keratinised structures derived from epidermis, such as nail or hair, and these superficial infections are considered in this chapter. The natural course of infection is variable and in many instances spontaneous remission occurs.
