Oral Health, Periodontitis, and Respiratory Diseases: Biological Pathways

Journal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.
This narrative review aims to provide a comprehensive update on the potential mechanisms by which poor oral health and periodontitis impact lung health, focusing on pneumonia, COPD, and asthma. ABSTRACT Poor oral hygiene and periodontitis influence lung diseases such as pneumonia, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), COVID‐19, and asthma.

Translocation of single‐stranded DNA through the α‐hemolysin protein nanopore in acidic solutions [PDF]

ELECTROPHORESIS, 2011
AbstractThe effect of acidic pH on the translocation of single‐stranded DNA through the α‐hemolysin pore is investigated. Two significantly different types of events, i.e. deep blockades and shallow blockades, are observed at low pH. The residence times of the shallow blockades are not significantly different from those of the DNA translocation events ...

Characterization of Interstrand DNA–DNA Cross-Links Using the α-Hemolysin Protein Nanopore [PDF]

ACS Nano, 2015
Nanopore-based sensors have been studied extensively as potential tools for DNA sequencing, characterization of epigenetic modifications such as 5-methylcytosine, and detection of microRNA biomarkers. In the studies described here, the α-hemolysin protein nanopore embedded in a lipid bilayer was used for the detection and characterization of ...

Mycobacterial tlyA gene product is localized to cell-wall without signal sequence.

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2015
The mycobacterial tlyA gene product, Rv1694 (MtbTlyA), has been annotated as 'hemolysin' which was re-annotated as 2'-O rRNA methyl transferase. In order to function as a hemolysin, it must reach extracellular milieu with the help of signal sequence(s ...

Exploring the Genetic Diversity of Candida albicans in Animal Hosts: A One Health Perspective

Zoonoses and Public Health, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Candida albicans is an important priority fungal pathogen that commonly colonizes humans and a wide range of animal hosts, although its population structure in wildlife remains poorly explored. Methods In this study, 41 C. albicans isolates obtained from Italian wild animals (European hedgehogs, wolves, foxes, badgers, roe deer ...
