Aging and periodontitis increase brain dissemination of oral bacteria

Journal of Periodontology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background The microbiome is a dynamic system that changes throughout life. Studies have revealed the relationship between periodontal disease and the oral microbiota; however, the impact of periodontal disease on the expression of senescence markers and on the inflammaging of the oral and systemic microbiome remains unclear.

Multifunctional interaction of CihC/FbpC orthologs of relapsing fever spirochetes with host-derived proteins involved in adhesion, fibrinolysis, and complement evasion

Frontiers in Immunology
IntroductionRelapsing fever (RF) remains a neglected human disease that is caused by a number of diverse pathogenic Borrelia (B.) species. Characterized by high cell densities in human blood, relapsing fever spirochetes have developed plentiful ...

Borrelia and Genital Lichen Sclerosus: A Critical Review of the Evidence

JEADV Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Lichen sclerosus (LSc) is a chronic inflammatory dermatosis that primarily affects the genitalia. Growing evidence supports chronic occlusive urine exposure as the principal pathogenic driver, though other mechanisms, including mechanical irritation, hormonal influences, autoimmunity, and infection, have been proposed.

‘Reservoir dogs’: The emerging zoonotic risk associated with European dog imports to the UK

Veterinary Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Background The movement of dogs from continental Europe to the UK poses a growing public health threat due to the associated risk of disease incursions. Current legislation is insufficient to address the risks and pre‐import control measures are focused only on rabies virus and the fox tapeworm Echinococcus multilocularis. Methods We conducted

Typing African Relapsing Fever Spirochetes

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2005
Relapsing fever Borrelia spp. challenge microbiologic typing because they possess segmented genomes that maintain essential genes on large linear plasmids. Antigenic variation further complicates typing.

Hide and seek: how Lyme disease spirochetes overcome complement attack

Frontiers in Immunology, 2016
Overcoming the first line of the innate immune system is a general hallmark of pathogenic microbes to avoid recognition and to enter the human host.

Association Between the Root Canal Microbiome and Apical Lesion Size: An Observational Shotgun Metagenomic Study

International Endodontic Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aim The aim was to characterize the taxonomic and functional composition of the microbiome involved in primary endodontic infections and to evaluate their association with the periapical lesion size using shotgun metagenomic sequencing. Methodology Samples from primary root canal infections diagnosed with apical periodontitis were analysed ...

Exploring the Impact of Ultrasonic Activation on the Antimicrobial Activity of Root Canal Sealers: A Year‐Long Ex Vivo Investigation Into Bacterial Survival

International Endodontic Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aim This study investigated the long‐term survival of bacteria in root canals obturated using two endodontic sealers—AH Plus Jet (AHP) and BioRoot RCS (BCS)—while also assessing the influence of ultrasonic agitation on their antimicrobial effectiveness.
