There is an increasing appreciation that these resident microbes influence the fitness of their plant and animal hosts, ultimately forming a metaorganism consisting of a uni- or multicellular host and a community of associated microorganisms. Research on host–microbe interactions has become an emerging...
aeruginosa (an opportunistic animal pathogen that can cause disease in plants)5,17. The flg22 sequence can be divided in a N-terminal region that interacts with FLS2, and a C-terminal region that interacts with both FLS2 and BAK15. A glycine residue in the position 18 (G18) is present...
There is increasing evidence that the human microbes residing in the airways, gastrointestinal tract and skin play an important role in normal health and disease states [7]. There are three different microbe–host relationships: (a) pathogenic, when the microbes harm the host; (b) commensal, ...
infectionDengue and Zika are mosquito-borne viruses,requiring mosquito contact for infection.In a recent Cell article,Zhang et al.show that when mice and humans are infected with these viruses,skin production of the antimicrobial protein RELM伪drops,allowing colonization with Bacillus spp.that generate...
21 Infective agents can come from anywhere, and frequently do. Monkeypox appeared in this country because of people's passion for exotic pets. But the connection between man and microbe was not always so apparent. Disease was something that just happened to a person, and there was little thou...
25,26. However, the extent to which belowground commensals can modulate or even dictate aboveground stress responses remains unknown. Given the fact that a substantial proportion of photosynthetically fixed carbohydrates (that is, >15%) is invested in the rhizosphere27,28, we hypothesized that the ...

Recently, the deregulation of symbiotic host-microbe interactions in early life has been shown to alter the maturation of the immune system, predisposing the host to gut barrier dysfunction and inflammation. The main goal of this study is to decipher the role of the early-life gut microbiota-...
infection is to control the virulence of pathogens, such as bacterial membrane microdomains, toxin neutralization, biofilm inhibition, and quorum-sensing (QS) interference [116]. QS is a complicated cell-to-cell communication system that regulates the expression of various virulence factors in gram-...
Although the microbiome of non-diseased individuals is relatively stable, IAV infection has been shown to increase the diversity of bacterial taxa that are present in the URT8. Specifically, IAV can cause changes in the relative abundances ofStaphylococcusandBacteroidesgenera9, as well asHaemophilus,...
