Promising Prodiginins Biological Activities
ABSTRACT Prodiginins are a large family of at least 34 pyrrolic compounds, including the well‐studied red pigment prodigiosin. Prodiginins are produced by several microorganisms displaying broad biological activities, including antimicrobial, antiviral, antiparasitic, antiproliferative, and immunosuppressive activities.

Two Pfam protein families characterized by a crystal structure of protein lpg2210 from Legionella pneumophila. [PDF]
BackgroundEvery genome contains a large number of uncharacterized proteins that may encode entirely novel biological systems. Many of these uncharacterized proteins fall into related sequence families. By applying sequence and structural analysis we hope

Ciliate Paramecium is a natural reservoir of Legionella pneumophila
Legionella pneumophila, the causative agent of Legionnaires’ disease, replicates within alveolar macrophages and free-living amoebae. However, the lifestyle of L. pneumophila in the environment remains largely unknown. Here we established a novel natural

Serospecific antigens of Legionella pneumophila [PDF]
Serospecific antigens isolated by EDTA extraction from four serogroups of Legionella pneumophila were analyzed for their chemical composition, molecular heterogeneity by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, and immunological properties. The antigens were shown to be lipopolysaccharides and to differ from the lipopolysaccharides of

CD4 T Cells Acquire Innate Capability Upon Classical T Cell Activation
The innate actions of the immune system allow for a rapid response to potential threats. Here we show that upon classical T cell activation, both murine and human adaptive immune cells can acquire innate capabilities allowing them to respond to cytokines in a TCR independent manner.

Beyond the Usual Suspects: Neonatal Fever and Desaturation
ABSTRACT Background We report a 1‐month‐old infant admitted with fever, dyspnea, and desaturation after an unmonitored pregnancy in a migrant family. The patient rapidly required mechanical ventilation. Laboratory parameters were markedly elevated, suggesting an infectious etiology.

A Reflective Verbalization Strategy to Trigger Alternative Diagnostic Hypotheses
ABSTRACT Rationale Physicians sometimes encounter various types of gut feelings (GFs) during clinical diagnosis. The type of GF addressed in this paper refers to the intuitive sense that the generated hypothesis might be incorrect. An appropriate diagnosis cannot be obtained unless these GFs are articulated and inventive solutions are devised.
