Journal ArticleDOI

Pathogenesis of influenza-induced acute respiratory distress syndrome

TL;DR: This model for influenza- induced ARDS differs from the classic model, which is centred on endothelial damage, and provides a rationale for therapeutic intervention to moderate host response in influenza-induced ARDS.
Journal ArticleDOI

MrkH, a Novel c-di-GMP-Dependent Transcriptional Activator, Controls Klebsiella pneumoniae Biofilm Formation by Regulating Type 3 Fimbriae Expression

TL;DR: It is demonstrated for the first time that c-di-GMP can function as an effector to stimulate the activity of a transcriptional activator, and explain how type 3 fimbriae expression is coordinated with other gene expression programs in K. pneumoniae to promote biofilm formation to implanted medical devices.
Journal ArticleDOI

Back to the Future: Lessons Learned From the 1918 Influenza Pandemic.

TL;DR: The viral, genetic and immune factors that contributed to the severity of the 1918 influenza pandemic are reviewed and the implications for modern pandemic preparedness are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Influenza A virus facilitates Streptococcus pneumoniae transmission and disease

TL;DR: Using a novel animal model, novel insights are provided into pneumococcal‐influenza synergism and may indicate a previously unappreciated role of IAV in the spread of S. pneumoniae.
Journal ArticleDOI
