The Impact of Intraspecies and Interspecies Bacterial Interactions on Disease Outcome

Pathogens, 2021
The human microbiota is an array of microorganisms known to interact with the host and other microbes. These interactions can be competitive, as microbes must adapt to host- and microorganism-related stressors, thus producing toxic molecules, or ...

Colonization-Induced Host-Gut Microbial Metabolic Interaction

mBio, 2011
ABSTRACT The gut microbiota enhances the host’s metabolic capacity for processing nutrients and drugs and modulate the activities of multiple pathways in a variety of organ systems. We have probed the systemic metabolic adaptation to gut colonization for 20 days following exposure of axenic mice (

Microbial-host-isozyme: unveiling a new era in microbiome–host interaction

Gut Microbes, 2023
Wang K. et al. introduced the concept of Microbial-Host isozymes (MHIs) and highlighted their role in mediating microbiota-host interactions. They identified bacterial-derived DPP4 as an isoenzyme affecting glucose tolerance and showed that host DPP4 inhibitors may not effectively target bacterial DPP4.

Microbial Interactions Influence Inflammatory Host Cell Responses

Journal of Dental Research, 2009
The inflammatory response plays an important role in the tissue destruction associated with periodontitis. Bacterial species can regulate the inflammatory responses of host cells, triggered by pathogens. It was hypothesized that, in the field of oral microbiology/immunology, such effects of bacterial interactions on inflammatory host cell responses ...

Psychological stress creates an immune suppressive environment in the lung that increases susceptibility of aged mice to Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2022
Age is a major risk factor for chronic infections, including tuberculosis (TB). Elderly TB patients also suffer from elevated levels of psychological stress.

Virus-host interactions predictor (VHIP): Machine learning approach to resolve microbial virus-host interaction networks

PLOS Computational Biology, 2023
Viruses of microbes are ubiquitous biological entities that reprogram their hosts’ metabolisms during infection in order to produce viral progeny, impacting the ecology and evolution of microbiomes with broad implications for human and environmental health.

Microbial amyloids – functions and interactions within the host [PDF]

Current Opinion in Microbiology, 2013
The aggregation of proteins into amyloid fibers is a common characteristic of many neurodegenerative disorders including Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and prion diseases. Amyloid formation was originally characterized in these systems and is traditionally viewed as a consequence of protein misfolding and aggregation.

Deconstructing taxa x taxa x environment interactions in the microbiota: A theoretical examination

iScience, 2023
Summary: A major objective of microbial ecology is to identify how the composition of microbial taxa shapes host phenotypes. However, most studies focus on pairwise interactions and ignore the potentially significant effects of higher-order microbial ...

Host Susceptibility Modulates Escovopsis Pathogenic Potential in the Fungiculture of Higher Attine Ants

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021
Health and disease emerge from intricate interactions between genotypes, phenotypes, and environmental features. The outcomes of such interactions are context-dependent, existing as a dynamic continuum ranging from benefits to damage.
