The mucosal system serves as the primary barrier against respiratory diseases and plays a crucial role in combating viral infections through immunity. resident microbial community constitutes main component of exerts significant inhibitory impact on invasion exogenous agents. However, precise relationship between microbiota, immunity, remains incomplete. This review aims to summarize regulatory interactions microbiota innate immune components such immunity trained By clarifying these complex relationships, this seeks identify potential targets for augmenting disease prevention strategies developing novel vaccine formulations. Furthermore, we propose possibility integrating fields microbiome-based therapeutics development create multifunctional formulations capable targeting induction.

Bacterial pneumonia is a considerable problem worldwide. Here, we follow the inter-kingdom respiratory tract microbiome (RTM) of unique cohort 38 hospitalized patients (n = 97 samples) with caused by Legionella pneumophila. The RTM composition characterized diversity drops early in hospitalization and ecological species replacement. RTMs highest bacterial fungal loads show low pathogen enrichment, suggesting high biomass as biomarker for secondary and/or co-infections. structure defined "commensal" cluster associated healthy "pathogen" enriched one, that equilibrium drives to recovery or dysbiosis. correlates disease severity co-morbidities, while clinical interventions influence dynamics.

High-throughput sequencing studies have shown that diet or antimicrobial treatments impact animal gut microbiota equilibrium. However, properties related to the microbial ecosystem stability, such as resilience, resistance, functional redundancy, must be better understood. To shed light on these ecological processes, we combined advanced statistical methods with 16 S rRNA gene sequencing, prediction, and fitness analyses in of cockroach Blattella germanica subject three periodic pulses antibiotic (AB) kanamycin (n=512). We first confirmed AB did not significantly affect cockroaches' biological fitness, changes were caused by insect physiology alterations.

Abstract Bdellovibrio bacteriovoru s HD100 is an obligate predatory bacterium that preys upon Gram‐negative bacteria. It has been proposed to be applied as a “living antibiotic” in several fields such agriculture or even medicine, since it able prey bacterial pathogens. Its interesting lifestyle makes this very attractive microbial chassis for co‐culture systems including two partners. A limitation goal the scarcity of suitable synthetic biology tools predator domestication. To fill gap, we have firstly adapted hierarchical assembly cloning technique Golden Standard (GS) make compatible with B. bacteriovorus HD100. The chromosomal integration Tn 7 transposon's mobile element, conjunction application GS technique, allowed systematic characterization repertoire constitutive and inducible promoters, facilitating control expression heterologous genes bacterium.
