Vaginal microbiota in pregnancy : Role in induction of labor and seeding the neonate's microbiota? [PDF]

, 2019
Compared to other human microbiota, vaginal microbiota is fairly simple with low bacterial diversity and high relative abundance of Lactobacillus species. Lactobacillus dominance is even more pronounced during pregnancy.

Oral Health, Periodontitis, and Respiratory Diseases: Biological Pathways

Journal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.
This narrative review aims to provide a comprehensive update on the potential mechanisms by which poor oral health and periodontitis impact lung health, focusing on pneumonia, COPD, and asthma. ABSTRACT Poor oral hygiene and periodontitis influence lung diseases such as pneumonia, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), COVID‐19, and asthma.

A Mobile Glycosylation Locus Modulates Cell Wall Architecture in Lactobacillus crispatus

Molecular Microbiology, EarlyView.
Serial propagation of Lactobacillus crispatus triggers transposon‐mediated loss of a mobile glycosylation gene fragment (GT3), destabilising the glycosyltransferase complex and remodelling the cell wall with 20%–25% thinner peptidoglycan, while sugar composition remains unchanged.

Microbiome and Metabolomics in Obesity: Advances in Understanding and Interventions Across the Lifespan

Obesity Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Obesity arises from intertwined and reciprocal diet‐microbiome‐host pathways that reshape energy balance, insulin sensitivity, and inflammation. This review synthesizes mechanistic links between microbial functions and metabolic control, charts lifestyle‐related lifecourse dynamics from birth to older age, examines how GLP‐1‐based therapies ...

Antimicrobial photodynamic therapy in Candida spp. biofilms: In vitro and in vivo protocols

Photochemistry and Photobiology, EarlyView.
This review addresses the critical challenges in translating in vitro antimicrobial photodynamic therapy protocols to in vivo models, with a particular focus on the hurdles of standardization. The vast diversity in photosensitizers and light parameters across different target cells and models requires a rigorous optimization process.
