T cell and cytokine-based immune response aids bacterial survival. The current study looked at how healthy people's T cells reacted in vitro to common bacterial sAgs such as SEB and SPE-A. Different Th1 and Th2 cytokines were measured to identify the functional activity of T cells. The findings show that the interaction between PBMC and sAgs has a significant impact on the magnitude of sAg-dependent polyclonal T cell (CD4 + ) elicitation along with cytokine generation in vitro , which is governed by IL-4 and IL-10 releasing cells. Infection-related sAg-activity possibly influences the clinical outcome of the infection, implying that sAg-activated T cells and cytokines play a crucial role in initiating immunity-related diseases.

protozoans have also been found to cause cancer in humans and animals. They are eukaryotic, unicellular, anthropozoonotic microorganisms causing several life-threatening diseases and cancer in humans. While a plethora of good pieces of information was gathered while documenting the role of several protozoans causing cancer in humans, only Plasmodium falciparum has been categorized by the IARC as Group 2A carcinogen. However, certain other protozoan parasites have also got their ability to cause cancer in humans via the integration of protozoan DNA sequences in the host cells. Protozoans cause the stimulation of cell division and proliferation of the host cells by the release of reactive oxygen and nitrogen radicals, DNA damage and the p53 gene inhibition. The present review discusses some cancer-causing protozoan parasites like Leishmania donovani, Trypanosoma brucie, Toxoplasma gondii, Trichomonas vaginalis, Blastocystis hominis, Theileria microti and Cryptosporidium parvum including Plasmodium falciparum in the light of recent researches done so far in the field of microbial origin of cancer.

Demodex mites are obligate human ectoparasites that live in or near pilosebaceous units. D. folliculorum ingests skin cells and sebum, whereas D. brevis burrows deeper into the sebaceous glands and ducts, feeding on gland cells. They may even provide a mutualistic host advantage by feeding on bacteria or other organisms in the follicular canal to keep the dermal bio-balance in check. Demodicosis is the umbrella term for all skin disorders related to Demodex mites. It is still unclear whether Demodex is the underlying cause or the result of pre-existing conditions such as rosacea and other dermatological diseases. Given that, Demodex is not the only cutaneous microbiota involved in these conditions. This review aims to re-evaluate the pathogenicity of the Demodex mite, with a focus on systematic internal causes that may drive pathogenicity, such as immunological imbalance, microbiome alterations, or concomitant infections. Clinical suspicion of the underlying causes of Demodex pathogenicity in various dermatoses can thus aid in early diagnosis and appropriate, timely, and cost-effective treatment.
