Specific antibodies in breast milk may help to fight intestinal infections

The findings of a new research suggest that IgG in breast milk promotes immunity against intestinal pathogens and shapes the development of the gut microbiota and immune cells in early…

Early viral encounters may affect airway microbiota, lead to recurrent respiratory infections

Early viral encounters are associated with disadvantageous immune and microbiota profiles, as well as recurrent respiratory infections. A new study published in Nature Microbiology claims.

How the human microbiota can influence respiratory health

Profiling the bacteria and viruses residing in the human body could help to diagnose different pathogens and develop new targeted interventions.

Molecules from dying gut cells fuel bacterial growth

Chemotherapy treatment and intestinal diseases can alter the process of programmed cell death, which can lead to gastrointestinal tract's infections.

Bacterial, viral, and fungal interactions influence inflammation and exacerbation in bronchiectasis

The Integrative Microbiomics tool could potentially delineate subtypes of bronchiectasis and other heterogeneous respiratory diseases.

How a mouth-dwelling microbe inhibits the growth of other bacteria

S. mutans produces tryglysin to inhibit the growth of competing species, including other streptococci that could cause opportunistic infection.

Resident bacteria might contribute to opportunistic infections of the respiratory tract

The manipulation of microbiota could improve the outcomes of infections in the respiratory tract cause by opportunistic pathogens.

Breastfeeding may reduce the number of harmful viruses in the infant gut

A new study shows that breast milk can be protective against viral infections by reducing the accumulation of potentially harmful human viruses.

Malnutrition prevents immune molecules from recognizing beneficial gut bacteria

A study, published in Cell Host & Microbe, suggests why undernourished people may be more susceptible to intestinal infections than healthy individuals.
