  2. Absence of Receptor Guanylyl Cyclase C Enhances Ileal Damage and Reduces Cytokine and Antimicrobial Peptide Production during Oral Salmonella enterica Serovar Typhimurium Infection [Host Response and Inflammation]

    • Infection and Immunity

    • Nontyphoidal Salmonella disease contributes toward significant morbidity and mortality across the world. Host factors, including gamma interferon, tumor necrosis factor alpha, and gut microbiota, significantly influence the outcome of Salmonella pathogenesis. However, the entire repertoire of host protective mechanisms contributing to Salmonella pathogenicity is not completely appreciated.

  3. Salmonella enterica Serovar Typhimurium Increases Functional PD-L1 Synergistically with Gamma Interferon in Intestinal Epithelial Cells via Salmonella Pathogenicity Island 2 [Host Response and Inflammation]

    • Infection and Immunity

    • Nontyphoidal serovars of Salmonella enterica are pathogenic bacteria that are common causes of food poisoning. Whereas Salmonella mechanisms of host cell invasion, inflammation, and pathogenesis are mostly well established, a new possible mechanism of immune evasion is being uncovered. Programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) is an immunosuppressive membrane protein that binds to activated T cells via their PD-1 receptor and thereby halts their activation.

  4. Coxiella burnetii Subverts p62/Sequestosome 1 and Activates Nrf2 Signaling in Human Macrophages [Cellular Microbiology: Pathogen-Host Cell Molecular Interactions]

    • Infection and Immunity

    • Coxiella burnetii is the causative agent of human Q fever, a debilitating flu-like illness that can progress to chronic disease presenting as endocarditis. Following inhalation, C. burnetii is phagocytosed by alveolar macrophages and generates a lysosome-like replication compartment termed the parasitophorous vacuole (PV). A type IV secretion system (T4SS) is required for PV generation and is one of the pathogen's few known virulence factors. We previously showed that C.

  5. The Ethanolamine Permease EutH Promotes Vacuole Adaptation of Salmonella enterica and Listeria monocytogenes during Macrophage Infection [Cellular Microbiology: Pathogen-Host Cell Molecular Interactions]

    • Infection and Immunity

    • Ethanolamine is a ubiquitous and essential molecule within a host. Significantly, bacterial pathogens exploit ethanolamine during infection to promote growth and regulate virulence. The ethanolamine permease EutH is dispensable for growth in vitro under standard conditions, whereas EutH is required for ethanolamine utilization at low pH. These findings suggested a model in which EutH facilitates diffusion of ethanolamine into the bacterial cell in acidic environments.

  12. Reply to Chen et al

    • The Journal of Infectious Diseases

    • To the Editor—In response to an article by Manor et al [1], Chen et al recently reported on an outbreak of acute hepatitis A virus (HAV) in northern Taiwan that affected primarily men who have sex with men (MSM) who had human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) or other sexually transmitted infections (STIs) [2]. That outbreak started in mid-2015 and peaked with >1000 cases of acute HAV reported in 2016.

  13. Acrylamide Exposure and Risks in Most Frequently Consumed Foods in a Total Diet Study

    • American Journal of Food Science and Technology

    • The neurotoxic and carcinogenic nature of acrylamide, coupled with the recent emphasis of the “probable carcinogenic” status of acrylamide is a cause for concern requiring further studies. The objective of this study was to determine the carcinogenic and neurotoxic risks associated with the consumption of frequently consumed foods in a Total Diet Study (TDS).
