ABSTRACT Extracellular vesicles (EVs) have gained increasing attention in recent years due to their pivotal role in both health and disease. Emerging from both eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells, EVs serve as essential mediators of intercellular communication, exceeding the simplistic interactions observed with individual molecules. In this comprehensive

Oral Microbiota Linking Humoral Response, Periodontitis and Atherosclerosis
ABSTRACT Aim The humoral immune system is implicated in the link between periodontitis and atherosclerosis. This study aims to explore how interactions between the oral microbiota and humoral immune responses may contribute to this association. Materials and Methods We analysed data from the Northern Finland Birth Cohort 1966, which included 1560 ...

Cerebrospinal Fluid Metabolome in Central Nervous System Infections: A Study of Diagnostic Accuracy
Objective To assess the diagnostic accuracy of metabolites in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) for central nervous system (CNS) infections. Methods Patients were derived from three prospective cohort studies in the Netherlands. All studies included adults suspected of a CNS infection who underwent a diagnostic lumbar puncture.

ABSTRACT Tetanus is a life‐threatening disease preventable by immunization through vaccines. In resource‐limited settings, its association with other acute infections should be managed cautiously. A 4‐year‐old unvaccinated male was referred from a nearby hospital for better management of severe malaria and probable enteric fever, after presenting there

Multidrug‐resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae poses a significant threat as a nosocomial pathogen, with no current licensed vaccines available. This study used a mutant E. coli strain expressing exogenous polysaccharides (from K. pneumoniae) to establish glycoengineered generalized modules for membrane antigens (geGMMA) vaccine platform, which demonstrated

Organism resembling Neisseria gonorrhoeae and Neisseria meningitidis [PDF]
A problem isolate resembling Neisseria gonorrhoeae and Neisseria meningitidis is reported. Growth and biochemical characteristics indicated the organism to be N. meningitidis, whereas serological characteristics indicated it to be N. gonorrhoeae. This vaginal isolate may be a genetically transformed gonococcus with the ability to utilize maltose ...

ABSTRACT Background and Objectives Generalized modules for membrane antigens (GMMA) are outer membrane vesicles derived from gram‐negative bacteria that can be used to design affordable subunit vaccines. GMMA are highly immunogenic and capable to induce an optimal antigen‐specific humoral immune response both in animals and humans. Despite their potent
