T lymphocyte responses are critical determinants in the pathogenesis and resistance to mycoplasma respiratory disease.

Mycoplasmas are responsible for many human and animal respiratory diseases and have a tremendous economic and health impact worldwide. Currently, there is no vaccine against any animal or human mycoplasma species. Despite the vast amount of research, the mechanisms that control hosts' resistance and susceptibility to mycoplasma infection remains unclear. Immune responses, particularly T lymphoc...

Role of innate immunity in respiratory mycoplasma infection.

Mycoplasmas are unique among respiratory pathogens. They possess very small genomes, lack cell walls and are strictly dependent on the host for survival. These pathogens have developed the ability to quickly adapt to the host environment through attachment to target cells within the host. Mycoplasmas have been identified as commensal microbial flora of healthy persons yet, infection of the uppe...

The aetiology of community associated pneumonia in children in Nanjing, China and aetiological patterns associated with age and season

BACKGROUND Viral and atypical bacterial pathogens play an important role in respiratory tract infection. Using the Pneumoslide IgM test, the presented study explored the aetiology of community-acquired pneumonia and investigated further whether there was an association between age or season and aetiological organisms. METHODS Serum samples, taken between August 2011 and August 2013, from pati...
