TL;DR: Findings show that evolutionary events based on horizontal gene transfer occur within an ongoing CDI and contribute to the adaptation of the species by the introduction of new genes into the genomes.

TL;DR: It is concluded that gnotobiotic and “humanized” mice represent excellent novel C. jejuni-infection and -inflammation models and provide deep insights into the immunological and molecular interplays between C.Jejuni, microbiota and innate immunity in human campylobacteriosis.

TL;DR: It is proposed that the large repertoire of adhesin(-like) genes of C. glabrata contributes to its adaptability and virulence and is reflected in alterations in adhesion capacity and cell surface hydrophobicity.

TL;DR: The present review discusses recent new data on the cell biology of T. gondii and parasite diversity in animals, and focuses on the impact of these various parasite strains and their different virulence on the clinical outcome of human congenital toxoplasmosis and T.gondii uveitis.

TL;DR: To establish strategic priorities for the German national public health institute (RKI) and guide the institute's mid-term strategic decisions, infectious pathogens were prioritized in accordance with their importance for national surveillance and epidemiological research.
