Evaluation of SARS-CoV-2 entry, inflammation and new therapeutics in human lung tissue cells

Judith Grau-Exposito et al.

Summary: We developed a rapid platform for studying SARS-CoV-2 by using primary human lung tissue cells directly, which can identify viral targets, express viral entry factors, and screen viral entry inhibitors and anti-inflammatory compounds. The method preserves main immune and structural cell populations, including the most susceptible cell targets for SARS-CoV-2, and maintains the expression of proteins involved in viral infection. Additionally, the method allows for highly reproducible antiviral testing and provides the identification of new compounds missed by conventional systems like VeroE6.

COVID-19 associated with pulmonary aspergillosis: A literature review

Chih-Cheng Lai et al.

Summary: Co-infections of Aspergillus spp. in patients with COVID-19, especially in severe/critical cases, have been reported with incidence ranging from 19.6% to 33.3%. Acute respiratory distress syndrome and high mortality rates are common complications, while early diagnosis through fungus culture and galactomannan testing is crucial for appropriate management. Vigilance and aggressive microbiological studies are recommended for severe/critical COVID-19 patients to detect pulmonary aspergillosis promptly.

Gut microbiota composition reflects disease severity and dysfunctional immune responses in patients with COVID-19

Yun Kit Yeoh et al.

Summary: This study found that the gut microbiome composition was significantly altered in patients with COVID-19 compared to non-COVID-19 individuals, regardless of medication received. Certain gut commensals known for their immunomodulatory potential were underrepresented in patients and remained low even after disease resolution. Additionally, the altered gut microbiome composition correlated with disease severity and elevated levels of inflammatory cytokines and blood markers.

Characterization and outcome of invasive infections due to Paecilomyces variotii: analysis of patients from the FungiScope (R) registry and literature reports

Rosanne Sprute et al.

Summary: Infections caused by P. variotii are life-threatening, especially in immunocompromised patients with indwelling devices. Peritoneal catheters and prosthetic heart valves are common factors associated with infection. Treatment with systemic antifungals such as Amphotericin B, itraconazole, and posaconazole is effective, while surgical debridement and removal of indwelling devices are important for a favorable outcome.

The Species-Specific Acquisition and Diversification of a K1-like Family of Killer Toxins in Budding Yeasts of the Saccharomycotina

Lance R. Fredericks et al.

Summary: Antifungal killer toxins produced by Saccharomyces yeasts are mainly encoded by cytoplasmic double-stranded RNAs (dsRNAs) instead of the DNA genome. A new dsRNA-encoded killer toxin, K1-like (K1L), with unique antifungal activity was identified in Saccharomyces yeasts, related to the canonical K1 killer toxin. The common ancestry of K1L and its homologous killer toxins suggests gene transfer via dsRNAs and DNAs between different yeast species for niche competition.

The Role of Bacterial and Fungal Human Respiratory Microbiota in COVID-19 Patients

Saber Soltani et al.

Summary: Recent studies have shown that the microbiota of COVID-19 patients may be altered, potentially impacting immune function and disease progression. While current research primarily focuses on gut microbiota, it is essential to also consider the lung microbiota in COVID-19 patients. This study aims to review respiratory microbiota dysbiosis among COVID-19 patients to encourage further exploration of the interaction between SARS-CoV-2 and respiratory microbiota.

SARS-CoV-2 infection reduces human nasopharyngeal commensal microbiome with inclusion of pathobionts

M. Nazmul Hoque et al.

Summary: This study revealed that infection with SARS-CoV-2 can cause significant dysbiosis in the human nasopharyngeal microbiome, characterized by an increase in opportunistic bacterial species and a decrease in commensal species. These features may provide insights for developing microbiome-based diagnostics and therapeutics for the novel coronavirus disease.

Microbiome signature and diversity regulates the level of energy production under anaerobic condition

M. Shaminur Rahman et al.

Summary: The microbiome of anaerobic digester is crucial in regulating energy production, with different stages of anaerobic digestion showing distinct microbial diversity. The study identified specific indicator species and genomic features related to energy production, with archaea showing a positive correlation with important parameters like digester pH and CH4 concentration. Genomic functional activities related to energy production were enhanced in microbiomes with the highest level of CH4 production, suggesting a strong correlation between microbial composition and functionality in anaerobic digestion.

Summary: After the first phase of Covid-19, Indians are facing a new challenge of mucormycosis, also known as black fungus. The use of immunosuppressants to treat Covid-19 has been identified as a risk factor for getting infected with mucormycosis. Early diagnosis, removal of predisposing factors, timely antifungal therapy with surgical removal of infected tissues are crucial in eradicating mucormycosis.
