Microbial‐Metabolite Signatures Are Associated With Glucocorticoid Responsiveness in Chronic Rhinosinusitis With Nasal Polyps

International Forum of Allergy &Rhinology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Patients with chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) exhibit heterogeneous responses to oral glucocorticoids (GCs), but the biological basis of this variability remains unclear. Objective To identify gut microbiome‒plasma metabolomic signatures associated with GC responsiveness in CRSwNP patients and to compare their ...

Occurence of the alp3 gene and the R28 protein in Group A streptococci

Bioingeniøren, 2011
Background: The protein R28 of group A streptococci (GAS) is nearly identical in structure to the alpha-like protein Alp3 of group B streptococci (GBS), and the two proteins cross-react immunologically. The purpose of this study was to test the frequency

Modified Titanium Dental Implants: The Current Progress of Soft‐Tissue Integration Methods

Advanced NanoBiomed Research, EarlyView.
Dental implants are an established solution for tooth loss, yet achieving soft tissue integration (STI) around the transmucosal region remains a challenge. The natural tooth–gingiva interface is poorly replicated on titanium implants. This review explores surface modification strategies, ranging from surface chemistry and topography to biological ...

Rheumatogenic streptococci and autoimmunity

Clinical Immunology and Immunopathology, 1991
The uniqueness of the group A streptococcus in initiating a cardiodestructive disease in a limited segment of the human species, regardless of race or ethnic group, makes the quest for a unique host response to a specific streptococcal antigen an intriguing and persisting challenge for clinical investigators, particularly for those investigators ...

Walsh & Hoyt: Streptococci

, 2005
Streptococci are spherical or ovoid bacteria that grow in pairs or chains of varying length. Most are facultatively anaerobic, but some are obligate anaerobes. Streptococci are gram-positive, nonspore-forming, and catalasenegative, and most are nonmotile.
