Streptococcus suis – The “Two Faces” of a Pathobiont in the Porcine Respiratory Tract
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018 Streptococcus (S.) suis is a frequent early colonizer of the upper respiratory tract of pigs. In fact, it is difficult to find S. suis-free animals under natural conditions, showing the successful adaptation of this pathogen to its porcine reservoir host.

Pathobionts of the gastrointestinal microbiota and inflammatory disease [PDF]
Current Opinion in Immunology, 2011 Our immune system is charged with the vital mission of identifying invading pathogens and mounting proper inflammatory responses. During the process of clearing infections, the immune system often causes considerable tissue damage. Conversely, if the target of immunity is a member of the resident microbiota, uncontrolled inflammation may lead to host ...

Oral pathobiont induces systemic inflammation and metabolic changes associated with alteration of gut microbiota. [PDF]
, 2014 Periodontitis has been implicated as a risk factor for metabolic disorders such as type 2 diabetes, atherosclerotic vascular diseases, and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. Although bacteremias from dental plaque and/or elevated circulating inflammatory

Galleria mellonella: A Novel Invertebrate Model to Distinguish Intestinal Symbionts From Pathobionts
Frontiers in Immunology, 2018 Insects and mammals share evolutionary conserved innate immune responses to maintain intestinal homeostasis. We investigated whether the larvae of the greater wax moth Galleria mellonella may be used as an experimental organism to distinguish between ...

A Hen in the Wolf Den: A Pathobiont Tale [PDF]
Immunity, 2018 Disruption of the gut microbiota is thought to contribute to disease onset in individuals with a genetic predisposition to autoimmunity. In a recent issue of Science, Manfredo Vieira et al. (2018) identify translocation of the gut commensal Enterococcus gallinarum into the liver as a trigger for the autoimmune disease systemic lupus erythematous.
