Bacteria need nutrients from the host environment to survive, yet we know little about which biochemicals are present in the airways (the metabolome), which of these biochemicals are essential for bacterial growth and how they change with airway disease. The aims of this pilot study were to develop ...
Mice intranasally exposed to a low dose of LPS (i.e., 100 ng) are prone to develop features of allergic asthma upon subsequent exposure to house dust mites (HDM) allergens, while mice exposed to vehicle or 100 µg LPS do not develop such features. In order to understand the mechanisms that promote al...
Aim of this project is to identify biomarkers associated with fungal persistence in the host and genomic variability among strains isolated from different environments.
