This study shows that Pseudomonas aeruginosa CF isolate DH1137 reduces inflammasome activation and IL-1β release in alveolar macrophages under hypoxia, potentially aiding immune evasion in cystic fibrosis.

This study shows that culture positivity in open fractures correlates with higher bacterial bioburden, suggesting microbial load rather than specific pathogens drives infection risk.

This study shows that Bacteroides fragilis outer membrane vesicles reduce CFTR Cl- secretion in human colon organoids, with BFT-2-containing vesicles being more effective.

The paper identifies rapidly evolving orphan immunity genes in human gut bacteria that protect against T6SS intoxication through high-affinity protein interactions and shows their evolutionary dynamics across microbiomes.

Rocket-miR predicts human miRNA interactions with pathogens to identify potential antimicrobial candidates against antibiotic-resistant infections.
