Bacterial Extracellular Vesicles: New Hype or Hope to Explain Reproductive Host–Microbiota Interactions

open access: yesJournal of Extracellular Vesicles, Volume 15, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Rapid advances in microbiome research are transforming our understanding of human health and disease, with growing focus on the female reproductive tract as a critical but understudied niche. Evidence for a local microbiome largely derives from bacterial nucleic acid detection; however, the biological relevance of these signals remains debated,

Chemotherapy of Trichomonas foetus Infections in Rabbits.

open access: yesExperimental Biology and Medicine, 1949
SummaryA standardized, controlled in vivo technic utilizing female rabbits has been described for testing the trichomonacidal properties of various therapeutic compounds against Trichomonas foetus. A total of 58 compounds was tested by this method. Only 3 compounds: entozon, iodine and sulfomerthiolate appeared to reduce the duration of infection.
