🗞️A new research paper led by our partner @idibaps found that in people with very advanced #HIV, the DTG-based treatment worked faster, was safe, and reduced signs of inflammation better than the DRV/r-based treatment. Read further 👇

👩‍🔬New research in MISTRAL from Kristina Broliden’s group @karolinskainst shows the cervicovaginal microbiome affects cervical gene activity, Lactobacillus-rich #microbiomes strengthen the mucosal barrier, diverse ones may weaken it, influencing #HIV risk.👇https://t.co/UH5pywj7gQ

🪢 On #WorldAIDSDay, #IrsiCaixa and @FundlaCaixa present 🟥 RED, a documentary with real testimonies and scientific perspectives to better understand #HIV through memory, stigma and future challenges.

🎬 From today, available for free on CaixaForum+.

🔬🚀 What a great scientific journey it is to coordinate the MISTRAL European project.

Today we’re holding its final Annual Meeting, and we couldn’t be prouder of all the achievements we’ve accomplished together. 🤝

[MISTRAL @mistralhiv]

📢We kicked off the first day of the last MISTRAL Annual Meeting today, exchanging updates and insights on our most recent project accomplishments.👇

#Microbiome #HIV

[MISTRAL @mistralhiv]

🦠Antimicrobial resistance (#AMR) happens when bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites stop responding to medicines. When drugs stop working, common infections can become dangerous or even untreatable.⚠️

Lately another study from MISTRAL found that Zidovudine, Efavirenz and Elvitegravir have antibacterial activity against Prevotella bivia. Read further here 👉https://t.co/uwyQeZLz1I

🦠Meet Prevotella, a genus of bacteria that is gram-negative, anaerobic and rod-shaped commonly found in the human mouth, gastrointestinal tract and female genial tract. Prevotella plays both beneficial and harmful roles depending on their environment.

[MISTRAL @mistralhiv]

Another study from MISTRAL has found that certain levels of neutralizing antibody responses were correlated with abundance of Prevotella in skin. Read further here 👉https://t.co/y08GTuCq2G

Researchers have found differences in lung microbiota between HIV+ and non-HIV patients with Pneumocystis jirovecii infection, which may explain divergent clinical outcomes. Read further about it👇

A new study reveals gut microbiota dysbiosis in people living with HIV (PLWH) who develop cancer. Some key finidings show that Bacteroides depletion is linked to cancer-related metabolic pathways. Read further about it 👉 https://t.co/VdYuK2QxoD

Rosina Malagrida also highlighted the work the #LivingLabIrsiCaixa is doing to make research more open and connected to the community through different European projects 🇪🇺

👥 Projects include: @epivinf, @LWNvivat, #FoodCLIC, #FOSTER, #CleverFood & @MistralHIV 💡

[MISTRAL @mistralhiv]

🦠Currently HIV is a chronic disease, however immune activation and inflammation persist. Recent research shows the gut microbiome, especially short-chain fatty acids, could be key to reducing these effects. Read further about it👉https://t.co/2cUqcCeOKv

#HIV #GutHealth

[MISTRAL @mistralhiv]

MISTRAL has found that Elvitegravir, an antiretroviral drug, has antibacterial activity against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus strains. Read further👉

🦠Meet Staphylococcus aureus a gram-positive species that can be found on our skin and nasal phages. While it is usually harmless, sometimes can cause infections.
