TL;DR: The genome sequence of the protist Trichomonas vaginalis predicts previously unknown functions for the hydrogenosome, which support a common evolutionary origin of this unusual organelle with mitochondria.
Journal ArticleDOI
Trichomonas vaginalis homolog of macrophage migration inhibitory factor induces prostate cell growth, invasiveness, and inflammatory responses.

TL;DR: It is shown that chronic T. vaginalis infections may result in TvMIF-driven inflammation and cell proliferation, thus triggering pathways that contribute to the promotion and progression of prostate cancer.
Journal ArticleDOI
Brucella abortus Infection Acquired in Microbiology Laboratories
TL;DR: An outbreak of laboratory-acquired Brucella abortus infection originating in the accidental breakage of a centrifuge tube was reported, allowing the diagnosis in most cases before the onset of clinical symptoms, so that specific therapy could be administrated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Chronic exposure to Helicobacter pylori impairs dendritic cell function and inhibits Th1 development.
P. J. Mitchell,P. J. Mitchell,Conrad Germain,Pier Luigi Fiori,Wafa Khamri,Graham R. Foster,Subrata Ghosh,Robert I. Lechler,Kathleen B. Bamford,Giovanna Lombardi +9 more
TL;DR: The results raise the possibility that in chronic H. pylori infection dendritic cells become exhausted after prolonged antigen exposure leading to suboptimal Th1 development, suggesting that the DCs had become exhausted by the prolonged stimulation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Molecular subtyping of Blastocystis sp. isolates from symptomatic patients in Italy

TL;DR: The wide range of STs identified in the Italian population suggest that Blastocystis sp.
