Pathogenicity islands (PAIs) are regions of the chromosome of pathogenic bacteria that harbor virulence genes, which were probably acquired by lateral gene transfer. Several PAIs can excise from the bacterial chromosome by site-specific recombination and

Human Respiratory Syncytial Virus (hRSV) is one of the major causes of acute lower respiratory tract infections (ALRTI) worldwide, leading to significant levels of immunocompromisation as well as morbidity and mortality in infants. Its main target of infe

The importance of neutrophils in human disease such as rheumatoid arthritis, asthma, adult respiratory distress syndrome, and COPD has prompted the search for drugs capable to slow down neutrophil-dependent inflammation, without interference with innate immune responses. In this review, we summar...
