ABSTRACT Torque teno virus (TTV) is a ubiquitous, nonenveloped DNA virus of the Anelloviridae family and a proposed surrogate marker of immune competence. Although nonpathogenic, its replication reflects host immune status and is associated with immune dysregulation during respiratory viral infections (RVIs).

Covalent Coercion by Legionella pneumophila [PDF]
Adenylylation of Rab proteins appears to be an intriguing mechanism that Legionella pneumophila uses to modulate their activity during infection. Now the reverse reaction (deadenylylation) (Neunuebel et al., 2011; Tan and Luo, 2011) and a new posttranslational modification (phosphocholination) of Rab1 (Mukherjee et al., 2011) have been reported.

ABSTRACT Background Acute otitis media (AOM) affects over 709 million individuals globally each year, more than half of whom are children < 5 years. Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a leading viral cause of pediatric respiratory illness. We aimed to estimate the burden of RSV in children < 5 years with AOM Methods We performed a systematic review ...

Coxiella burnetii Blocks Intracellular Interleukin-17 Signaling in Macrophages [PDF]
Coxiella burnetii is an obligate intracellular bacterium and the etiological agent of Q fever. Successful host cell infection requires the Coxiella type IVB secretion system (T4BSS), which translocates bacterial effector proteins across the vacuole ...

This review illustrates how intracellular bacterial pathogens—such as Brucella, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, and Legionella—secrete effector proteins that specifically target the IRE1α, PERK, and ATF6 branches of the unfolded protein response (UPR) to hijack ER stress signaling.

Extracellular enzymes of Legionella pneumophila [PDF]
All strains of Legionella pneumophila tested produced detectable levels of extracellular protease, phosphatase, lipase, deoxyribonuclease, ribonuclease, and beta-lactamase activity. Weak starch hydrolysis was also demonstrated for all strains. Elastase, collagenase, phospholipase C, hyaluronidase, chondroitinase, neuraminidase, or coagulase were not ...
