The Human Skin Microbiome Associates with the Outcome of and Is Influenced by Bacterial Infection
mBio, 2015 The influence of the skin microbiota on host susceptibility to infectious agents is largely unexplored. The skin harbors diverse bacterial species that may promote or antagonize the growth of an invading pathogen. We developed a human infection model for

Identification and purification of a conserved heme-regulated hemoglobin-binding outer membrane protein from Haemophilus ducreyi. [PDF]
, 1995 A hemoglobin-binding protein (HgbA) from Haemophilus ducreyi was identified and purified. The 100-kDa HgbA was detected in all strains of H. ducreyi tested, and a somewhat larger hemoglobin-binding protein was found in one strain of Haemophilus ...

Microbiome‐urothelium crosstalk in bladder cancer: From dysbiosis to clinical translation
iMetaOmics, Volume 3, Issue 1, March 2026.This review elucidates the critical crosstalk between the urobiome and bladder cancer (BCa), mapping the landscape from ecological dysbiosis to clinical translation. We synthesize emerging evidence on microbial signatures that distinguish BCa patients, exploring key carcinogenic mechanisms including chronic inflammation, genotoxicity, and the gut ...
