Abstract
Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium is one of the most common S. enterica serovars associated with U.S. foodborne outbreaks. S. Typhimurium bacteria isolated from humans exhibit wide-ranging virulence phenotypes in inbred mice, leading to speculation that some strains are more virulent in nature. However, it is unclear whether increased virulence in humans is related to organism characteristics or initial treatment failure due to antibiotic resistance. Strain diversity and genetic factors contributing to differential human pathogenicity remain poorly understood. We reconstructed phylogeny, resolved genetic population structure, determined gene content and nucleotide variants, and conducted targeted phenotyping assays for S. Typhimurium strains collected between 1946 and 2012 from humans and animals in the United States and abroad. Strains from recent U.S. salmonellosis cases were associated with five S. Typhimurium lineages distributed within three phylogenetic clades, which are not restricted by geography, year of acquisition, or host. Notably, two U.S. strains and four Mexican strains are more closely related to strains associated with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected individuals in sub-Saharan Africa than to other North American strains. Phenotyping studies linked variants specific to these strains in hmpA and katE to loss of fitness under nitrosative and oxidative stress, respectively. These results suggest that U.S. salmonellosis is caused by diverse S. Typhimurium strains circulating worldwide. One lineage has mutations in genes affecting fitness related to innate immune system strategies for fighting pathogens and may be adapting to immunocompromised humans by a reduction in virulence capability, possibly due to a lack of selection for its maintenance as a result of the worldwide HIV epidemic. Nontyphoidal Salmonella bacteria cause an estimated 1.2 million illnesses annually in the United States, 80 million globally, due to ingestion of contaminated food or water. Salmonella Typhimurium is one of the most common serovars associated with foodborne illness, causing self-limiting gastroenteritis and, in approximately 5% of infected patients, systemic infection. Although some S. Typhimurium strains are speculated to be more virulent than others, it is unknown how strain diversity and genetic factors contribute to differential human pathogenicity. Ours is the first study to examine the diversity of S. Typhimurium associated with recent cases of U.S. salmonellosis and to provide some initial correlation between observed genotypes and phenotypes. Definition of specific S. Typhimurium lineages based on such phenotype/genotype correlations may identify strains with greater capability of associating with specific food sources, allowing outbreaks to be more quickly identified. Additionally, defining simple correlates of pathogenesis may have predictive value for patient outcome.

Abstract
Opioid drug abusers have a greater susceptibility to gram positive (Gram (+)) bacterial infections. However, the mechanism underlying opioid modulation of Gram (+) versus Gram (-) bacterial clearance has not been investigated. In this study, we show that opioid treatment resulted in reduced phagocytosis of Gram (+), when compared to Gram (-) bacteria. We further established that LPS priming of chronic morphine treated macrophages leads to potentiated phagocytosis and killing of both Gram (+) and Gram (-) bacteria in a P-38 MAP kinase dependent signaling pathway. In contrast, LTA priming lead to inhibition of both phagocytosis and bacterial killing. This study demonstrates for the first time the differential effects of TLR4 and TLR2 agonists on morphine induced inhibition of phagocytosis. Our results suggest that the incidence and severity of secondary infections with Gram (+) bacteria would be higher in opioid abusers.

Abstract
In patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, neutrophil and monocyte functions, including phagocytosis, are impaired. The purpose of this study was to investigate changes of phagocytic function and respiratory burst occurring over the course of patients infected by the HIV-1 virus. Treatment-naive patients (group B), patients receiving highly active anti-retroviral treatment (HAART) (group C) and patients in which HAART has failed (group D) were studied and compared with healthy volunteers (group A). Phagocytosis and oxidative burst were evaluated using commercially available kits. Results clearly denote a significant decrease of the phagocytic function of both cell types of groups B and C compared with group A. Among group C patients, those in the upper quartile of CD4 increase had higher oxidative burst compared with patients of the other quartiles. In addition, comparisons clearly showed a lower degree of phagocytic function and of oxidative burst of both monocytes and neutrophils of group D compared with group B. Finally, it was found that monocyte and neutrophil function was correlated inversely to the change in viral load, i.e. the greater the decrease of viral load, the better the phagocytic and oxidative activity. Innate immunity defects appear to be present in HIV-positive patients, regarding phagocytic activity and oxidative burst of monocytes and neutrophils. These defects are greatly influenced by the level of treatment efficacy, with emphasis on CD4 cell counts and viral load.

Abstract
The increased life expectancy of HIV-infected individuals due to improved treatment has revealed an unexpected increase in non-AIDS comorbidities that are typically associated with older age including cardiovascular disease, dementia and frailty. The majority of these diseases arise as the result of dysregulated systemic inflammation, and both the aged and HIV-infected individuals exhibit elevated basal levels of inflammation. In the elderly, increased inflammation and age-related diseases are associated with a state of impaired immunity called immunosenescence, which is thought to result from a lifetime of immune stimulation. It is now apparent that HIV induces premature immunosenescence within T-cells; however, the impact of HIV on aging of cells of the innate arm of the immune system is unknown. Innate immune cells play a central role in inflammation and are thus critical for the pathogenesis of inflammatory diseases. Limited evidence suggests HIV infection mimics age-related changes to innate immune cells; however, the extent of this effect and the mechanism underlying these changes remain to be defined. This review focuses on the impact of HIV infection on the function and aging of innate immune cells and discusses potential drivers of premature immunosenescence including chronic endotoxaemia, residual viraemia, telomere attrition and altered cellular signalling.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Adults with advanced HIV are susceptible to invasive and recrudescent infections with nontyphoidal salmonellae. OBJECTIVES To examine whether persistence and recurrence of salmonella infection results from HIV-related defects in macrophage internalization and intracellular killing or from ineffective type 1 cytokine responses. Such defects could be a direct consequence of macrophage HIV infection or secondary to reduced enhancement of macrophage effector functions by interferon-gamma (IFNgamma) as CD4 cell count falls. DESIGN Ex-vivo scientific case-control study. METHODS Primary ex-vivo human alveolar macrophages (huAM) from HIV-negative and HIV-positive subjects were challenged with Salmonella typhimurium under unprimed and IFNgamma-primed conditions to study internalization and intracellular killing of bacteria and cytokine responses of huAM. RESULTS Priming of huAM with IFNgamma reduced bacterial internalization but enhanced microbicidal activity against intracellular salmonellae. HuAM from HIV-positive subjects showed unimpaired internalization and intracellular killing of salmonellae, with and without IFNgamma priming. Opsonic and mannose receptor (CD206)-mediated entry was not required for optimal internalization. HuAM from HIV-positive subjects, however, exhibited increased secretion of tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNFalpha), interleukin (IL)-10 and IL-12 in response to S. typhimurium challenge, regardless of IFNgamma priming. This cytokine dysregulation showed a trend to a curvilinear relationship with peripheral CD4 cell count, with marked decline at values < 250 cell/mul. CONCLUSIONS Dysregulation of proinflammatory cytokine release, including IL-12, by macrophages during salmonella infection may underlie the susceptibility to severe salmonellosis in patients with AIDS. This defect was not reversed by IFNgamma and may represent a proinflammatory effect of HIV infection upon the macrophage or the alveolar milieu.

Abstract
Infection with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) clade C is the most common HIV infection worldwide, yet its impact on the nervous system remains largely unknown. Autopsy studies from regions affected by this virus are scarce, and HIV dementia has only rarely been reported from these countries. Most patients who develop neurologic complications die of opportunistic infections. We thus conducted a neuropathologic study from a single institution in India to characterize the HIV-infected cells in the inflammatory infiltrates in a total of 15 cases (5 patients each who died of either CNS toxoplasmosis, tuberculosis, or cryptococcal meningitis). Nearly, all patients had HIV-infected cells in the brain, although these cells were most abundant in patients with toxoplasma encephalitis. Interestingly, none of the patients had any multinucleated giant cells. HIV-infected cells were found in the parenchyma, perivascular regions, and choroid plexus and found infiltrating the parenchyma from the meninges, suggesting multiple portals of entry into the brain. These findings suggest the possibility that patients, even if successfully treated for an opportunistic inflection, may be at high risk of developing HIV encephalitis and subsequent dementia.

Abstract
Concurrent uncontrolled development of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) and Leishmania spp. is regarded as an emerging pathogenic combination in countries where human beings are exposed to these two micro-organisms. The present study was aimed at exploring whether HIV-1 development within a culture of human monocyte-derived macrophages (MDMs) affected the further development of luciferase-encoding Leishmania infantum using the luciferase activity as a readout assay. It was demonstrated that, in cultures of HIV-1-loaded MDMs exposed to axenic amastigotes, the luciferase activity was higher than in HIV-1-free MDMs. As a preliminary approach to deciphering the possible mechanism through which HIV-1 can affect Leishmania infantum, attention was focused on the very early processes that could underlie this increased luciferase activity. Using GFP-labelled parasites, it was possible to establish that, in HIV-1-infected MDMs, the percentage of GFP-expressing MDMs was higher (10-20 %) than in cell cultures not exposed to HIV-1 (5 %). Two-colour immunofluorescence staining suggested that HIV-1 indirectly affects the uptake of parasites inside MDMs. Thus, the observed phenomenon seems to be linked with a higher uptake of parasites within MDMs. Taken together, the data reported here may contribute to our understanding of disseminated Leishmania infection in HIV-1-infected individuals.

Abstract
The current experiments use the Friend retrovirus model to demonstrate that vaccine-primed B cells are essential for sterilizing immunity, and the results indicate that the requisite function of these cells is the production of virus-neutralizing antibodies rather than priming or reactivation of T cells. B cell-deficient mice were poorly protected by vaccination, but adoptive transfer experiments showed that the T cells from B cell-deficient mice were primed as well as those from wild-type mice. Furthermore, passive transfer of virus-neutralizing antibodies completely compensated for B cell deficiency. The presence of virus-neutralizing antibodies at the time of infection was crucial for vaccine efficacy. Interestingly, virus-neutralizing antibodies worked synergistically with vaccine-primed T cells to provide a level of protection many orders of magnitude greater than either antibodies or immune T cells alone. Nonneutralizing antibodies also contributed to protection and acted cooperatively with neutralizing antibodies to reduce infection levels. These results emphasize the importance of inducing both T cell responses and virus-neutralizing antibody responses for effective retroviral vaccine protection.
