Distribution and antifungal susceptibility profile of oropharyngeal species isolated from people living with HIV in the era of universal test and treat policy in Uganda

Therapeutic Advances in Infectious Disease
Background: Despite the increased frequency of oropharyngeal candidiasis among people living with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), its management is no longer effective due to empirical treatment and emergence of antifungal resistance (AFR).

Oral Health, Periodontitis, and Respiratory Diseases: Biological Pathways

Journal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.
This narrative review aims to provide a comprehensive update on the potential mechanisms by which poor oral health and periodontitis impact lung health, focusing on pneumonia, COPD, and asthma. ABSTRACT Poor oral hygiene and periodontitis influence lung diseases such as pneumonia, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), COVID‐19, and asthma.

Effect of prolonged HAART on oral colonization with Candida and candidiasis

BMC Infectious Diseases, 2006
Background Progressive cell-mediated immunodeficiency with decrease of CD4+ lymphocyte count to less than or equal to 200 cells/mm3 is a major risk factor for colonization with Candida species and development of candidiasis. Oropharyngeal candidiasis may

Exploring the Genetic Diversity of Candida albicans in Animal Hosts: A One Health Perspective

Zoonoses and Public Health, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Candida albicans is an important priority fungal pathogen that commonly colonizes humans and a wide range of animal hosts, although its population structure in wildlife remains poorly explored. Methods In this study, 41 C. albicans isolates obtained from Italian wild animals (European hedgehogs, wolves, foxes, badgers, roe deer ...

Impact of Co‐Morbid Immunocompromise in HPV‐Associated Oropharyngeal Squamous Cell Carcinoma

The Laryngoscope, Volume 136, Issue 10, Page 4279-4289, October 2026.
Among patients with surgically resected Human Papillomavirus positive (HPV+) oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC), immunocompromised patients had significantly worse overall survival compared to the non‐compromised group; however, these exploratory findings should be interpreted cautiously.

An Integrated Platform for the Comprehensive Analysis of Host‐Fungal Interactions in the Murine Tongue

Current Protocols, Volume 6, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract This protocol describes a mouse model of Candida albicans oral colonization that establishes stable, long‐term fungal persistence in the oral cavity, thereby recapitulating key features of human commensal colonization, including the induction of sustained adaptive antifungal immunity.
