Visualization of Respiratory Commensal Bacteria in Context of Their Natural Host Environment
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021 Commensal microbes are an integral component of mammalian physiology. 16S rRNA gene-specific next generation sequencing from DNA of total organs, swabs or lavages has revolutionized the characterization of bacterial communities in virtually every ...

Methionine sulfoxide reductases are essential for virulence of Salmonella typhimurium. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 Production of reactive oxygen species represents a fundamental innate defense against microbes in a diversity of host organisms. Oxidative stress, amongst others, converts peptidyl and free methionine to a mixture of methionine-S- (Met-S-SO) and ...

Helminth–virus interactions: determinants of coinfection outcomes
Gut Microbes, 2021 Viral infections are often studied in model mammalian organisms under specific pathogen-free conditions. However, in nature, coinfections are common, and infection with one organism can alter host susceptibility to infection with another.

Specific Pathogen Recognition by Multiple Innate Immune Sensors in an Invertebrate
Frontiers in Immunology, 2017 Detection of pathogens by all living organisms is the primary step needed to implement a coherent and efficient immune response. This implies a mediation by different soluble and/or membrane-anchored proteins related to innate immune receptors called ...
