Research on the Mechanism of Natural Products Acting on Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
This figure illustrates that approximately 80 natural compounds exert therapeutic effects against chronic obstructive pulmonary disease by targeting pathological mechanisms such as airway inflammation, oxidative stress, airway remodeling, mucus hypersecretion, emphysema, protease–antiprotease imbalance, apoptosis, and autophagy.

The DmsABC Sulfoxide Reductase Supports Virulence in Non-typeable Haemophilus influenzae
Although molybdenum-containing enzymes are well-established as having a key role in bacterial respiration, it is increasingly recognized that some may also support bacterial virulence.

VapC-1 of Nontypeable Haemophilus influenzae Is a Ribonuclease [PDF]
ABSTRACT Nontypeable Haemophilus influenzae (NTHi) organisms are obligate parasites of the human upper respiratory tract that can exist as commensals or pathogens. Toxin-antitoxin (TA) loci are highly conserved gene pairs that encode both a toxin and antitoxin moiety.

Epithelial immune activation and intracellular invasion by non-typeable Haemophilus influenzae
Type-2 low asthma affects 30-50% of people with severe asthma and includes a phenotype characterized by sputum neutrophilia and resistance to corticosteroids. Airways inflammation in type-2 low asthma or COPD is potentially driven by persistent bacterial

Biofilm Associated Persistence and Drug Tolerance in Mycobacteria Within Host Microenvironments
ABSTRACT Biofilms formed by mycobacteria, particularly Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), represent a major challenge in tuberculosis (TB) treatment due to their highly organized structure and their capacity to induce phenotypic drug tolerance. These three‐dimensional bacterial aggregates are embedded in a self‐produced extracellular matrix that ...

Epidemiology of Invasive Haemophilus influenzae Disease, Europe, 2007–2014
We describe the epidemiology of invasive Haemophilus influenzae disease during 2007–2014 in 12 European countries and assess overall H. influenzae disease trends by serotype and patient age. Mean annual notification rate was 0.6 cases/100,000 population,
