An effector of the Irish potato famine pathogen antagonizes a host autophagy cargo receptor [PDF]

, 2016
Plants use autophagy to safeguard against infectious diseases. However, how plant pathogens interfere with autophagy-related processes is unknown. Here, we show that PexRD54, an effector from the Irish potato famine pathogen Phytophthora infestans, binds

Investigating bacteriophages targeting the opportunistic pathogen Acinetobacter baumannii [PDF]

, 2020
The multi-drug resistance of the opportunistic pathogen Acinetobacter baumannii is of growing concern, with many clinical isolates proving to be resistant to last resort as well as front line antibiotic treatments.

Pathogenicity of Enterococci [PDF]

Microbiology Spectrum, 2019
ABSTRACT Enterococci are unusually well adapted for survival and persistence in a variety of adverse environments, including on inanimate surfaces in the hospital environment and at sites of infection. This intrinsic ruggedness undoubtedly played a role in providing opportunities for enterococci to interact with other overtly drug-resistant ...

An association of Aquaporin-4 with the immunoregulation of liver pathology in mice infected with Schistosoma japonicum

Parasites & Vectors, 2015
Background Schistosomiasis is a chronic parasitic disease that affects approximately 200 million people. In Schistosomiasis japonica and mansoni, parasite eggs were trapped in host liver and stimulated the CD4+T cell responses to regulate the formation ...

Absence of Batf3 results in reduced liver pathology in mice infected with Schistosoma japonicum

Parasites & Vectors, 2017
Background The involvement of CD8+T cells in schistosomiasis is being increasingly appreciated, but the underlying mechanism is not well defined. Results In this study, we showed that the absence of Batf3 alleviated liver damage in Batf3 −/− mice ...

Autophagy vitalizes the pathogenicity of pathogenic fungi [PDF]

Autophagy, 2012
Plant pathogenic fungi utilize a series of complex infection structures, in particular the appressorium, to gain entry to and colonize plant tissue. As a consequence of the accumulation of huge quantities of glycerol in the cell the appressorium generates immense intracellular turgor pressure allowing the penetration peg of the appressorium to ...

Praziquantel treatment after Schistosoma japonicum infection maintains hepatic insulin sensitivity and improves glucose metabolism in mice

Parasites & Vectors, 2017
Background Epidemiological studies in China have revealed that Schistosoma japonicum infection is inversely correlated with metabolic syndrome, even after repeated chemotherapy with praziquantel (PZQ). We investigated the effect of chronic S.
