HIV–Mycobacterium tuberculosis co‐infection: a ‘danger‐couple model’ of disease pathogenesis
Discussion on the mechanisms produced by infectious cofactors with impact on disease pathology could shed light on how to design potential interventions that could decelerate disease progression. With no vaccine for HIV and lack of an effective vaccine for tuberculosis, it is essential to design strategies against HIV–TB co‐infection. (Source: FEMS Immunology and Medical Microbiology)

Plasmid‐mediated transformation tropism of chlamydial biovars
Abstract Chlamydia trachomatis and C. muridarum are human and mouse pathogens, respectively, which show high conservation of gene order and content. Both species contain a common 7.5‐kb plasmid that is an important virulence factor. Recently described transformation systems have been used to characterize C. trachomatis L2 plasmid gene functions; however, similar studies have not been reported for C. trachomatis ocular tropic serovar A or the mouse strain, C. muridarum. Here, we have conducted genetic experiments with C. trachomatis serovar A and C. muridarum and report the following: (1) successful transformation o...

Mass spectrometry‐based proteomic analysis of Leishmania donovani soluble proteins in Indian clinical isolate
Abstract Leishmania donovani, a causative organism of visceral leishmaniasis (VL), is responsible for high mortality throughout the world. Due to the unsatisfactory treatment measures and increasing drug resistance, there has been an urgent need to develop novel drug/vaccine targets against VL. The aim of this study was to identify novel targets in soluble L. donovani (SLD) protein. SLD protein was isolated and resolved by two‐dimensional gel electrophoresis and analyzed through MALDI‐TOF/TOF‐based mass spectrometry. Proteomic results identified several proteins as drug targets, Th1 stimulatory, novel, and hypotheti...
