Gene editing of SAMHD1 in macrophage-like cells reveals complex relationships between SAMHD1 phospho-regulation, HIV-1 restriction, and cellular dNTP levels

mBio, 2023
Sterile α motif and HD domain-containing protein 1 (SAMHD1) is a dNTP triphosphate triphosphohydrolase (dNTPase) and a potent restriction factor for immunodeficiency virus 1 (HIV-1), active in myeloid and resting CD4+ T cells.

Visualizing Pyrazinamide Action by Live Single-Cell Imaging of Phagosome Acidification and Mycobacterium tuberculosis pH Homeostasis

mBio, 2022
Mycobacterium tuberculosis segregates within multiple subcellular niches with different biochemical and biophysical properties that, upon treatment, may impact antibiotic distribution, accumulation, and efficacy.

Senescence and Host–Pathogen Interactions [PDF]

Cells, 2020
Damage to our genomes triggers cellular senescence characterised by stable cell cycle arrest and a pro-inflammatory secretome that prevents the unrestricted growth of cells with pathological potential. In this way, senescence can be considered a powerful innate defence against cancer and viral infection.

Pseudomonas aeruginosa OprF plays a role in resistance to macrophage clearance during acute infection

Scientific Reports, 2021
While considered an extracellular pathogen, Pseudomonas aeruginosa has been reported to be engulfed by macrophages in cellular and animal models. However, the role of macrophages in P. aeruginosa clearance in vivo remains poorly studied.

Succession in the caecal microbiota of developing broilers colonised by extended-spectrum β-lactamase-producing Escherichia coli

Animal Microbiome, 2022
Background Broilers are among the most common and dense poultry production systems, where antimicrobials have been used extensively to promote animal health and performance.

High content quantitative imaging of Mycobacterium tuberculosis responses to acidic microenvironments within human macrophages

FEBS Open Bio, 2023
Intracellular pathogens such as Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) have evolved diverse strategies to counteract macrophage defence mechanisms including phagolysosomal biogenesis.

Intracellular localisation of Mycobacterium tuberculosis affects efficacy of the antibiotic pyrazinamide

Nature Communications, 2021
Effective chemotherapies against tuberculosis must kill the pathogen’s intracellular population. Here, Santucci et al. show that bacterial localisation within human macrophages impact pyrazinamide (PZA) accumulation and efficacy, and that combination ...

Editorial: Tick-Host-Pathogen Interactions [PDF]

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2018
Ticks are important vectors of pathogens affecting human and animal health around the world. They act as vectors of several pathogens causing diseases of major concern including Lyme borreliosis, anaplasmosis, rickettsiosis, ehrlichiosis, tularemia, and tick-borne encephalitis (TBE) in humans, and babesiosis, theileriosis, and anaplasmosis in livestock.

Acute Inflammation Confers Enhanced Protection against Mycobacterium tuberculosis Infection in Mice

Microbiology Spectrum, 2021
Inflammation plays a crucial role in the control of Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection. In this study, we demonstrate that an inflammatory pulmonary environment at the time of infection mediated by lipopolysaccharide treatment in mice confers enhanced ...

Host-Pathogen Interactions [PDF]

Plant Physiology, 1983
A bioassay to measure the incorporation of [14C]leucine into acid-precipitable polymers of suspension-cultured sycamore (Acer pseudoplatanus L.) cells is described. Using this assay, cell wall fragments solubilized from sycamore cell walls by partial acid hydrolysis are shown to contain components that inhibit the incorporation of [14C]leucine into the
