Material Substrate Physical Properties Control Pseudomonas aeruginosa Biofilm Architecture

Alexandre Louis André Persat, Alice Cont

The biofilm lifestyle is the most widespread survival strategy in the bacterial world. Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilms cause chronic infections and are highly recalcitrant to antimicrobials. The genetic requirements allowing P. aeruginosa to grow into biof ...

Aerosol pH is an overlooked driver of airborne influenza and coronavirus inactivation

Tamar Kohn

The current pandemic has added to the growing evidence that respiratory viruses can be transmitted by the airborne route. Non-pharmaceutical interventions, such as mask wearing or ventilation, aim to reduce the public health burden of respiratory diseases ...

Fungal Contaminants in Energy Efficient Dwellings: Impact of Ventilation Type and Level of Urbanization

Dusan Licina, Shen Yang

The presence of growing fungi in the indoor environment has been associated with the development of respiratory problems such as asthma or allergic rhinitis, as well as the worsening of respiratory pathologies. Their proliferation indoors could be a result ...

Vibrio coralliilyticus infection triggers a behavioural response and perturbs nutritional exchange and tissue integrity in a symbiotic coral

Anders Meibom, Emma Mary Gibbin

Under homoeostatic conditions, the relationship between the coralPocillopora damicornisandVibrio coralliilyticusiscommensal. An increase in temperature, or in the abundance ofV. coralliilyticus, can turn this association pathogenic,causing tissue lysis, ex ...

Effectiveness of a personalized ventilation system in reducing personal exposure against directly released simulated cough droplets

Dusan Licina

The inhalation intake fraction was used as an indicator to compare effects of desktop personalized ventilation and mixing ventilation on personal exposure to directly released simulated cough droplets. A cough machine was used to simulate cough release fro ...

Nanoparticle conjugation enhances the immunomodulatory effects of intranasally delivered CpG in house dust mite-allergic mice

Jeffrey Alan Hubbell, Melody Swartz, Benjamin John Marsland, Alexandre de Titta, Marie Ballester, Laura Jeanbart

An emerging strategy in preventing and treating airway allergy consists of modulating the immune response induced against allergens in the lungs. CpG oligodeoxynucleotides have been investigated in airway allergy studies, but even if promising, efficacy re ...

Gut microbiota metabolism of dietary fiber influences allergic airway disease and hematopoiesis

Eva Sabrina Gollwitzer, Nicola Harris, Benjamin John Marsland

Metabolites from intestinal microbiota are key determinants of host-microbe mutualism and, consequently, the health or disease of the intestinal tract. However, whether such host-microbe crosstalk influences inflammation in peripheral tissues, such as the ...

Dysregulation of Allergic Airway Inflammation in the Absence of Microbial Colonization

Nicola Harris, Benjamin John Marsland, Tina Herbst

RATIONALE: The incidence of allergic disorders is increasing in developed countries and has been associated with reduced exposure to microbes and alterations in the commensal bacterial flora. OBJECTIVES: To ascertain the relevance of commensal bacteria upo ...

Tissue localization and frequency of antigen-specific effector CD4 T cells determines the development of allergic airway inflammation

Nicola Harris

Previous activation of effector Th2 cells is central to the development of allergic inflammatory responses. We have observed that priming of allergen-specific Th2 cells in C57BL/6 or B10.A mice with allergen delivered via the i.p. or s.c. routes results in ...

PPARalpha downregulates airway inflammation induced by lipopolysaccharide in the mouse

Johan Auwerx

BACKGROUND: Inflammation is a hallmark of acute lung injury and chronic airway diseases. In chronic airway diseases, it is associated with profound tissue remodeling. Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-alpha (PPARalpha) is a ligand-activated transc ...
