Abstract Recent research indicates that gut microbiota may be vital in the advancement of melanoma. In this study, we found melanoma patients exhibited a distinct mycobiota structure compared with healthy participants. Candida albicans, dubliniensis, and Neurospora crassa were more abundant samples from melanoma, whereas Saccharomyces cerevisiae Debaryomyces hansenii less abundant. During anti–PD-1 treatment, relative amount Malassezia restricta C. albicans increased. A higher level...

Abstract Research has shown that the microbiome can influence how immune system responds to melanoma cells, affecting course of disease and outcome therapy. Here, we used metagenomic approach flow cytometry analyses blood cells discover correlations between gut fungi metastatic patients enrolled in anti-PD-1 therapy lymphocytes their blood. We analyzed patterns associations before first administration (BT, n = 61) third month (T3, 37), allowing us track changes during treatment. To...

Myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSC) are a subset of immature myeloid with suppressive activity well described in the context cancer. They inhibit anti-tumour immunity, promote metastasis formation and can lead to immune therapy resistance. In retrospective study, blood probes 46 advanced melanoma patients were analysed before first administration anti-PD-1 immunotherapy third month treatment for MDSC, monocytic (ImMC), MDSC (MoMDSC) granulocytic (GrMDSC) by multi-channel flow cytometry....

Antibiotic resistance is a global health problem, causing not only an increased mortality rate of bacterial infections but also economic losses due to, among other reasons, the need for longer hospital stays. Listeria monocytogenes one foodborne pathogens with ability to induce serious illness called listeriosis, approximately 20–30% fatal outcomes. The treatment regimen listeriosis in humans includes administration antibiotics (in most cases, ampicillin or trimethoprim sulfamethoxazole case...

The gut microbiota is considered a key player modulating the efficacy of immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy. study investigated association between response to anti-PD-1 therapy and baseline microbiome in Polish cohort melanoma patients, alongside selected agents modifying microbiome. Sixty-four patients enrolled for therapy, ten healthy subjects were recruited. treatment was assessed according evaluation criteria solid tumors, classified as responders or non-responders. extrinsic factors...
