Human Lactococcus garvieae Bloodstream Infection Complicated by Spondylodiscitis, Germany

Emerging Infectious Diseases
Lactococcus garvieae bloodstream infection in a woman in Germany resulted in spondylodiscitis and bioprosthetic mitral valve endocarditis. Six weeks of ceftriaxone followed by 10 days of doxycycline led to sustained clinical and microbiological ...

Biophysical and structural characterization of a zinc-responsive repressor of the MarR superfamily.

PLoS ONE, 2019
The uptake of zinc, which is vital in trace amounts, is tightly controlled in bacteria. For this control, bacteria of the Streptococcaceae group use a Zn(II)-binding repressor named ZitR in lactococci and AdcR in streptococci, while other bacteria use a ...

Trimethylamine-N-oxide (TMAO) mediates the crosstalk between the gut microbiota and hepatic vascular niche to alleviate liver fibrosis in nonalcoholic steatohepatitis

Frontiers in Immunology, 2022
Liver fibrosis is one main histological characteristic of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), a disease paralleling a worldwide surge in metabolic syndromes with no approved therapies.

Colonic Inflammation Accompanies An Increase of β‐Catenin Signaling and Lachnospiraceae/Streptococcaceae in the Hind Gut of High‐Fat Diet‐Fed Mice

The FASEB Journal, 2016
Consumption of an obesigenic/high‐fat (HF) diet isassociated with an increase of inflammation‐related colon cancer risk and mayalter the gut microbiota. To test the hypothesis that a HF feeding accelerates inflammatory processes and changes gut microbiome composition, C57BL/6mice were fed a HF (45% energy) or low‐fat (LF) (10 ...

Probiotic‐Derived Vesicles Rectally Delivered via Thermo‐Gelling Copolymer Promote Mucosal Healing and Reduce Inflammation in Ulcerative Colitis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A thermo‐responsive rectal delivery platform integrating probiotic‐derived extracellular vesicles within a hyaluronic acid‐based copolymer enables localized and sustained therapy for ulcerative colitis. The formulation effectively suppresses inflammation, promotes macrophage polarization toward a regenerative phenotype, restores epithelial barrier ...

Targeting the intratumoral microbiota to overcome cancer immunotherapy resistance

Interdisciplinary Medicine, EarlyView.
This review delineates the mechanisms of intratumoral microbiota in cancer immunotherapy resistance, and offers strategies for microbiota‐targeted precision immunotherapy. Abstract Cancer remains a significant global health threat. The tumor microenvironment (TME) is a sophisticated ecological niche that exerts a pivotal effect on treatment outcomes ...

A rarely seen cause for empyema: Leuconostoc mesenteroıdes

Journal of Infection in Developing Countries, 2015
Leuconostoc species are Gram-positive, non-motile, vancomycin-resistant bacteria placed within the family of Streptococcaceae. They naturally exist in food and are important in the sauerkraut, milk and wine industries due to their role in fermentation ...

Early‐Life Dietary Protein Source Reshapes Gut Microbiota but Fails to Curtail Diet‐Induced Metabolic Syndrome in Young Rats

Obesity, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Dairy consumption plays a protective role in obesity that may be mediated through the gut microbiota. This study examined the role of dairy proteins, casein, whey, and complete dairy (skim milk powder), and a plant‐based alternative, soy, on gut microbiota composition, obesity susceptibility, and insulin sensitivity in early ...

A two sample mendelian randomization analysis investigates causal effects between gut microbiome and immune related Vasculitis

Scientific Reports
Observational data suggest a link between gut microbiota and immune-related vasculitis, but causality remains unclear. A bidirectional mendelian randomization study was conducted using public genome-wide data.
