When to consider an inborn error of immunity: clues for physicians
Abstract The term inborn errors of immunity (IEIs) refers to the rapidly expanding group of genetic disorders causing dysregulation of the immune system. With improved genetic testing in recent years, the number of defined IEIs and their range of phenotypic presentations has grown vastly, with more than 550 IEIs now described.

Exploitation of Host Signal Transduction Pathways Induced by Streptococcus pneumoniae
The induction of host signal transduction cascades by bacterial pathogens contributes directly to their virulence. In addition to the pore-forming cytolysin pneumolysin, several surface-exposed proteins of Streptococcus pneumoniae are also potent ...

Tissue Resident Memory Cells: Friend or Foe?
Tissue‐resident memory T cells (TRM cells) are specialised immune cells in barrier tissues like the lungs, skin and gut, providing rapid host defence and tumour surveillance. Their retention and differentiation are regulated by molecules such as CD69, CD103 and TGF‐β. Dysregulation of TRM cells can lead to chronic activation, driving conditions such as

ABSTRACT Catheter‐associated urinary tract infections (CAUTI) are a common healthcare‐associated infection in children and a major contributor to increased morbidity, prolonged hospital stays and higher healthcare costs. This narrative review uses an evidence‐informed approach highlighting recent paediatric literature (2000–2025) to provide an overview

Role of glucose and CcpA in capsule expression and virulence of Streptococcus suis
Streptococcus suis is one of the most important pathogens in pigs and is also an emerging zoonotic agent. After crossing the epithelial barrier, S. suis causes bacteraemia, resulting in meningitis, endocarditis and bronchopneumonia.

ABSTRACT Aims Acute wheezing illnesses are among the most common reasons preschool‐aged children are admitted to hospital. Readmission rates are high, and novel preventive strategies are required. OM‐85 is an orally administered bacterial lysate that stimulates anti‐viral immune responses and reduces excessive airway inflammation associated with ...

Periodontal Medicine Rewired: Mechanisms Linking Periodontitis to Systemic Diseases
This review reorganizes decades of research in periodontal medicine into a multi‐dimensional framework, illustrating how periodontitis influences systemic health through at least seven interconnected mechanisms. ABSTRACT Periodontitis is now recognized not merely as a localized oral condition but as a systemic disease linked to over 70 communicable and

The Oral‐Gut Axis: Bidirectional Interactions Between Microbiome and Diseases
This study aims to summarize the mechanisms underlying ectopic colonization of the gut by oral pathobionts and the microbial and host factors that regulate this process. ABSTRACT Increased colonization of typically oral microorganisms is frequently observed in the gut mucosa or lumen of individuals with gastrointestinal disorders, including patients ...
