This study shows chronic cannabis use strengthens gut barrier integrity but disrupts systemic immune homeostasis through cytokine dysregulation.

This study shows that cocaine promotes growth of Streptococcus parasanguinis, which leads to neuroinflammation and memory impairment in mice without bacterial translocation.

This study shows that Staphylococcus aureus translocation promotes anti-CD4 autoantibodies in HIV patients on ART, impairing CD4+ T cell recovery.

This study identifies female-predominant anti-CD4 IgG autoantibodies in HIV-infected patients on ART, linked to lower progesterone, microbial translocation, and poor immune recovery.

This study shows that oral Actinomyces species from cannabis users induce anxiety-like behavior in mice through mitochondrial dysfunction and reduced GABAergic signaling.

This study shows that cocaine use disorder is associated with oral microbial dysbiosis and selective microbial translocation from saliva to blood.
