HIV-1 infection is associated with substantial damage to the gastrointestinal tract resulting in
structural impairment of the epithelial barrier and a disruption of intestinal homeostasis. The …

Studying the human host–microbiota interaction suggests that the consequences of HIV
infection on microbial composition can influence immune status in HIV patients. ART …

Objective: Gut microbial translocation is a major driving force behind chronic immune
activation during HIV-1 infection. HIV-1-related intestinal dysbiosis, including increases in …

Objectives: The objective of this article is to investigate the contribution of colon and blood
CD4+ T-cell subsets expressing the chemokine receptor CCR6 to HIV persistence during …

The T helper 17 (Th17) cells represent a subset of CD4+ T-cells with unique effector
functions, developmental plasticity, and stem-cell features. Th17 cells bridge innate and …

Introduction HIV infection is characterized by a persistent immune activation associated to a
compromised gut barrier immunity and alterations in the profile of the fecal flora linked with …

Background People living with human immunodeficiency virus (PLHIV) are exposed to
chronic immune dysregulation, even when virus replication is suppressed by antiretroviral …

The inflammatory properties of the enteric microbiota of Human Immunodeficiency Virus
(HIV)-infected individuals are of considerable interest because of strong evidence that …

Gut-associated lymphoid tissues are enriched in CCR6+ Th17-polarized CD4+ T cells that
contribute to HIV-1 persistence during antiretroviral therapy (ART). This raises the need for …

An important function of the gut microbiome is the fermentation of non-digestible dietary
fibers into short chain fatty acids (SCFAs). The three primary SCFAs: acetate, propionate …
