By dawn or dusk—how circadian timing rewrites bacterial infection outcomes
The circadian clock shapes immune function, yet its influence on infection outcomes is only beginning to be understood. This review highlights how circadian timing alters host responses to the bacterial pathogens Salmonella enterica, Listeria monocytogenes, and Streptococcus pneumoniae revealing that the effectiveness of immune defense depends not only

Novel processes to obtain pneumococcal surface proteins for vaccines
Current pneumococcal vaccines are based on the protection offered by capsular polysaccharides from only a few from > 100 serotypes; therefore, serotype-independent vaccines composed of pneumococcal surface proteins are being developed.

Helminths as architects of trained tolerance: implications for human health
Abstract Helminths infect nearly 2 billion people worldwide and are a major cause of chronic morbidity in low‐resource regions. Unlike bacterial and viral pathogens that elicit protective memory, helminths actively remodel host immunity to enable their years‐long persistence and reinfection.
