A distinct role for B1b lymphocytes in T cell-independent immunity (2008)
Pathogenesis of infectious disease is not only determined by the virulence of the microbe but also by the immune status of the host. Vaccination is the most effective means to control infectious...
The ArcA regulon and oxidative stress resistance in Haemophilus influenzae (2007)
Wong, Sandy M. S., Alugupalli, Kishore R., Ram, Sanjay, Akerley, Brian J.
Haemophilus influenzae transits between niches within the human host that are predicted to differ in oxygen levels. The ArcAB two-component signal transduction system controls gene expression in...
Spirochete-platelet attachment and thrombocytopenia in murine relapsing fever borreliosis (2003)
Alugupalli, Kishore R., Michelson, Alan D., Joris, Isabelle, Schwan, Tom G., Hodivala-Dilke, Kairbaan, Hynes, Richard O., ...
Thrombocytopenia is common in persons infected with relapsing fever Borreliae. We previously showed that the relapsing fever spirochete Borrelia hermsii binds to and activates human platelets in...

The rate of pathogen clearance is a critical determinant of morbidity and mortality. We sought to characterize the immune response responsible for the remarkably rapid clearance of individual...
Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans, Prevotella intermedia and Prevotella nigrescens are associated with periodontal diseases. Adhesion of these bacteria to host tissue surfaces is a prerequisite...

Rabies remains an important public health problem with more than 95% of all human rabies cases caused by exposure to rabid dogs in areas where effective, inexpensive vaccines are unavailable. Because...
