The bacterium Prevotella timonensis found in vaginal dysbiosis enhances the uptake of HIV‐1 by primary dendritic cells. Virus is internalised into tetraspanin‐rich compartments, which leads to efficient HIV‐1 transmission to target cells. These results provide insight into how microbiota directly affect HIV‐1 uptake thereby altering HIV‐1 ...

Prevalence of Gardnerella vaginalis in the urinary tract [PDF]
Midstream urine samples from 106 patients presenting to the Casualty Department of The Royal Melbourne Hospital with frequency or dysuria were cultured for Gardnerella vaginalis and conventional uropathogens. Urine samples collected via an open-end catheter from 70 healthy pregnant women were examined similarly.

A modified scheme for biotyping Gardnerella vaginalis [PDF]
A scheme is proposed for biotyping Gardnerella vaginalis, based on detection of hippurate hydrolysis, beta-galactosidase (ONPG) and lipase, and fermentation of arabinose, galactose and xylose. Seventeen biotypes were found among 197 strains from asymptomatic women and patients with bacterial vaginosis (non-specific vaginitis).

The Skin Microbiome: A New Key Player in Melanoma, From Onset to Metastatic Stage
ABSTRACT The skin microbiome plays a crucial role in maintaining skin health, defending the body against harmful pathogens, and interacting with melanoma. The composition of the skin microbiome can be affected by factors like age, gender, ethnicity, lifestyle, diet, and UV exposure. Certain bacteria like Staphylococcus and Veillonella are important for
