Skin Microflora and Bacterial Infections of the Skin [PDF]

Journal of Investigative Dermatology Symposium Proceedings, 2001
The skin is a milieu for controlled bacterial growth. Skin supports the growth of commensal bacteria, which protect the host from pathogenic bacteria. Environmental and local factors, host immunity, and organism adherence and virulence are intricately related to cutaneous infection.

The human gut microbiome across the life course

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Despite significant individual variation and continuous change throughout life, the human gut microbiome follows some life stage‐specific trends. This article provides a brief overview of how gut microbiome composition shifts across different phases of life. Created in BioRender. Özkurt, E. (2026) https://BioRender.com/8q4nrnc.

Lawsonella clevelandensis: a normal flora that bites deep

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology
Since its formal description in 2016, Lawsonella clevelandensis—a strictly anaerobic, partially acid-fast bacterium—has been increasingly recognized as a cause of deep-seated abscesses, yet its fastidious nature and absence from routine diagnostic ...

Microbiome−host proteostasis crosstalk—An emerging perspective on mechanisms and interventions toward healthy longevity

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Proteostasis and the gut microbiota play a key role in shaping host physiology. Microbiota‐derived metabolites, vitamins, and RNA modulate host proteostasis. Findings from model systems, including C. elegans, indicate microbes can either stabilize or disrupt host proteostasis.

Alleviation of Pseudomonas aeruginosa Infection by Propeptide-Mediated Inhibition of Protease IV

Microbiology Spectrum, 2021
Pseudomonas aeruginosa, an opportunistic human pathogen, expresses protease IV (PIV) for infection. Since the PIV activity can be inhibited by its propeptide, we tried to alleviate the severity of P. aeruginosa infection using the purified PIV propeptide

Structure‐forward targeting of claudins with synthetic binders

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Claudins form the paracellular barriers between epithelial and endothelial tissues at tight junctions and are targets for molecular binders with the goal of modulating barrier permeability. Claudin‐binding molecules are relevant in drug delivery or in altering claudin interactions with disease‐causing proteins.

Interaction of skin cells with skin microbiota [PDF]

, 2023
The interaction between skin cells and skin microbiota is complicated and not fully understood. A diverse community of microbes resides on the skin that participates in shaping its physiology. Skin microbiota can modulate skin immunity and barrier, thus,
