Keratinocyte Priming by Staphylococcus aureus Reduces HSV‐1 Susceptibility

Allergy, EarlyView.
ADEH+ patients have a reduced microbial diversity with increased S. aureus and S. epidermidis colonization compared to ADEH− and healthy controls. Heat‐killed S. aureus reduced HSV‐1 susceptibility and release of infectious progeny virus in a keratinocyte in vitro model. Heat‐killed S.

Staphylococcal Superantigens Stimulate Epithelial Cells through CD40 To Produce Chemokines

mBio, 2019
Mucosal and skin tissues form barriers to infection by most bacterial pathogens. Staphylococcus aureus causes diseases across these barriers in part dependent on the proinflammatory properties of superantigens.

Temporal and Racial Differences Associated with Atopic Dermatitis Staphylococcus aureus and Encoded Virulence Factors

mSphere, 2016
Atopic dermatitis (AD) is an inflammatory skin condition strongly associated with Staphylococcus aureus colonization and infection. S. aureus strains shift in populations in ~10-year intervals depending on virulence factors. Shifts in S. aureus virulence

Elucidating the Staphylococcus aureus TSST‐1 Regulatory Network as a Response to Vaginal pH

Molecular Microbiology, EarlyView.
Toxic shock syndrome toxin‐1 (TSST‐1) is a potent Staphylococcus aureus superantigen responsible for menstrual toxic shock syndrome (mTSS). Regulation of TSST‐1 is controlled by multiple systems including the stand‐alone transcriptional regulators CcpA and SarA and two‐component systems including the redox sensor SrrAB, the membrane stress sensor SaeRS,

Lack of improvement after short‐term topical antistaphylococcal endolysin SA.100 therapy in patients with mild‐to‐moderate atopic dermatitis: Results from a randomized, vehicle‐controlled trial

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, Volume 92, Issue 7, Page 2409-2413, July 2026.
Abstract Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic immune‐mediated inflammatory skin disease. An overgrowth of Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) and decreased microbial diversity is apparent in 70%–90% of AD patients. SA.100 is a recombinant endolysin targeting S. aureus that might be a novel treatment for patients with mild‐to‐moderate AD.

Urologic Bacteriome: The Hero or the Villain in Prostate Cancer Onset, Progression, and Treatment?

Medicinal Research Reviews, Volume 46, Issue 4, Page 1111-1151, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Prostate cancer (PCa) is the second most frequently diagnosed cancer in men worldwide and the fifth leading cause of cancer‐related mortality, presenting urgent unmet clinical needs in diagnosis and treatment. The recognition of the microbiome as a key factor in human health has prompted numerous studies, revealing an exciting new approach to ...

Divergent Paths: A Comprehensive Review of Mechanisms and Clinical Implications in Atopic Dermatitis and Psoriasis

Allergy, Volume 81, Issue 7, Page 2309-2324, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Atopic dermatitis and psoriasis are two common cutaneous chronic inflammatory diseases. Although they share similar immunological mechanisms, their clinical implications in the patient are different. This review compares both diseases from different points of view such as genetics, natural history, triggers of disease, and skin barrier defects
