Unlabelled: Periodontitis (PD) is a polymicrobial dysbiotic immuno-inflammatory disease. Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are present on gingival epithelial cells and recognize pathogen-associated molecular patterns on pathogenic bacteria, inducing the secretion of proinflammatory cytokines and initiating innate and adaptive antigen-specific immune responses to eradicate the invading microbes. Since PD is a chronic inflammatory disease, TLR2/TLR4 play a vital role in disease pathogenesis and in maintaining the periodontium during health.

Objectives: To describe the epidemiology, microbiology and clinical outcomes of adult patients (aged ≥16 years) diagnosed with bacterial intracranial abscesses in the Republic of Ireland.
Methods: A 12-year retrospective analysis from 2010 to 2021 was conducted in the Republic of Ireland's two neurosurgical centres. Radiological, microbiological, and medical records of adult patients with confirmed intracranial abscesses were analysed.

Sepsis is a life-threatening syndrome marked by a dysregulated immune response to an infection and significant endothelial vascular permeability, often leading to multi-organ failure. Elderly patients are particularly vulnerable to sepsis, with higher morbidity and mortality rates. We hypothesized that advanced age exacerbates sepsis-induced inflammation and endothelial vascular permeability, resulting in a delayed recovery, persistent inflammation, and sustained organ injury.

Recent studies have highlighted the presence of memory T cells in human brains, some of which are specific for peripheral infections. To address their potential origins, we used two models of polymicrobial exposure to 'normalize' the immune systems of specific pathogen-free mice and queried the impact on brain T cell biology. Here, we show that cohousing and sequential infection induce marked enhancement of memory T cells in the brain tissue of mice.

Periodontitis (periodontal disease [PD]) is a complex inflammatory disease caused by a polymicrobial infection that facilitates the destruction of the connective tissue and bone that support the teeth. PD is highly correlated with cardiovascular disease, low birth weight, preterm osteoporosis, Alzheimer's disease, and rheumatoid arthritis. Porphyromonas gingivalis, a main causative agent of PD, is a non-motile, asaccharolytic, Gram-negative bacterium identified in subgingival, supragingival, and tongue sites in patients.
