Updates on Toll‐Like Receptor 10 Research

European Journal of Immunology, Volume 55, Issue 5, May 2025.
Toll‐like receptor 10 (TLR10 or CD290) shares the same structural organization as the other TLRs but shows a unique expression pattern and distinct functional activities yet to be fully elucidated. This review summarizes key steps and recent updates on TLR10 research including open questions and future perspectives.

Monitoring the introduction of pneumococcal conjugate vaccines into West Africa: design and implementation of a population-based surveillance system. [PDF]

, 2012
Routine use of pneumococcal conjugate vaccines (PCVs) in developing countries is expected to lead to a significant reduction in childhood deaths. However, PCVs have been associated with replacement disease with non-vaccine serotypes.

Microbiological Analysis of Lower Airway Samples: Does It Influence the Outcome in Patients With Community‐Acquired Pneumonia?

APMIS, Volume 133, Issue 5, May 2025.
ABSTRACT This prospective randomized trial examined the impact of extensive lower respiratory tract sampling and microbial analysis on treatment decisions and patient outcomes in community‐acquired pneumonia (CAP). One hundred and eighteen patients were randomized to rigorous sampling (intervention group, n = 64) or standard care (control group, n = 54)

The remaining challenges of pneumococcal disease in adults [PDF]

European Respiratory Review, 2012
Pneumococcal disease can be divided into invasive disease, i.e. when bacteria are detected in normally sterile body fluids, and noninvasive disease. Pneumococcal disease occurs more frequently in younger children and older adults.

Hopf-bifurcation analysis of pneumococcal pneumonia with time delays [PDF]

arXiv, 2019
In this paper, a mathematical model of pneumococcal pneumonia with time delays is proposed. The stability theory of delay differential equations is used to analyze the model. The results show that the disease-free equilibrium is asymptotically stable if the control reproduction ratio R0 is less than unity and unstable otherwise.
