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

Journal 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,

More than just inflammation: Ureaplasma species induce apoptosis in human brain microvascular endothelial cells

Journal of Neuroinflammation, 2019
Background Ureaplasma species (spp.) are commonly regarded as low-virulent commensals but may cause invasive diseases in immunocompromised adults and in neonates, including neonatal meningitis. The interactions of Ureaplasma spp.

Impact of Doxycycline Prophylaxis on Reducing Ureaplasma and Mycoplasma‐Related Complications in Lung Transplant Recipients

Transplant Infectious Disease, Volume 28, Issue 3, May/June 2026.
Doxycycline prophylaxis in lung transplant recipients was associated with reduced hyperammonemia syndrome and shorter ventilation, ICU, and hospital stays. These findings suggest that doxycycline prophylaxis may help prevent Ureaplasma/Mycoplasma‐related morbidity.

An Unusual Case of Citrobacter koseri Infection During Pregnancy at 27 Weeks: A Case Report and Literature Review

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Early prenatal screening at 26 + 6 weeks detected Citrobacter koseri vaginal colonization in an asymptomatic high‐risk gravida. Culture‐guided IV ceftazidime (susceptible per CLSI testing) eradicated the pathogen without maternal/fetal compromise.

Roles of the vagina and the vaginal microbiota in urinary tract infection: evidence from clinical correlations and experimental models

GMS Infectious Diseases, 2020
Mounting evidence indicates that the vagina can harbor uropathogenic bacteria. Here, we consider three roles played by the vagina and its bacterial inhabitants in urinary tract infection (UTI) and urinary health.
