    Abstract Streptococcus pyogenes (Group A Streptococcus; GAS) is exquisitely adapted to the human host, resulting in asymptomatic infection, pharyngitis, pyoderma, scarlet fever or invasive diseases, with potential for triggering post-infection immune sequelae. GAS deploys a range of virulence determinants to allow colonization, dissemination within the host and transmission, disrupting both innate and adaptive immune responses to infection. Fluctuating global GAS epidemiology is characterized by the emergence of new GAS clones, often associated with the acquisition of new virulence or antimicrobial determinants that are better adapted to the infection niche or averting host immunity. The recent identification of clinical GAS isolates with reduced penicillin sensitivity and increasing macrolide resistance threatens both frontline and penicillin-adjunctive antibiotic treatment. The World Health Organization (WHO) has developed a GAS research and technology road map and has outlined preferred vaccine characteristics, stimulating renewed interest in the development of safe and effective GAS vaccines.

    Abstract The type-2 inflammatory response that promotes asthma pathophysiology occurs in the absence of sufficient immunoregulation. Impaired regulatory T cell (Treg) function also predisposes to severe viral bronchiolitis in infancy, a major risk factor for asthma. Hence, we hypothesized that long-lived, aberrantly programmed Tregs causally link viral bronchiolitis with later asthma. Here we found that transient plasmacytoid dendritic cell (pDC) depletion during viral infection in early-life, which causes the expansion of aberrant Tregs, predisposes to allergen-induced or virus-induced asthma in later-life, and is associated with altered airway epithelial cell (AEC) responses and the expansion of impaired, long-lived Tregs. Critically, the adoptive transfer of aberrant Tregs (unlike healthy Tregs) to asthma-susceptible mice failed to prevent the development of viral-induced or allergen-induced asthma. Lack of protection was associated with increased airway epithelial cytoplasmic-HMGB1 (high-mobility group box 1), a pro-type-2 inflammatory alarmin, and granulocytic inflammation. Aberrant Tregs expressed lower levels of CD39, an ectonucleotidase that hydrolyzes extracellular ATP, a known inducer of alarmin release. Using cultured mouse AECs, we identify that healthy Tregs suppress allergen-induced HMGB1 translocation whereas this ability is markedly impaired in aberrant Tregs. Thus, defective Treg programming in infancy has durable consequences that underlie the association between bronchiolitis and subsequent asthma.

    Abstract Severe viral lower respiratory infections are a major cause of infant morbidity. In developing countries, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV)-bronchiolitis induces significant mortality, whereas in developed nations the disease represents a major risk factor for subsequent asthma. Susceptibility to severe RSV-bronchiolitis is governed by gene-environmental interactions that affect the host response to RSV infection. Emerging evidence suggests that the excessive inflammatory response and ensuing immunopathology, typically as a consequence of insufficient immunoregulation, leads to long-term changes in immune cells and structural cells that render the host susceptible to subsequent environmental incursions. Thus, the initial host response to RSV may represent a tipping point in the balance between long-term respiratory health or chronic disease (e.g., asthma). The composition and diversity of the microbiota, which in humans stabilizes in the first year of life, critically affects the development and function of the immune system. Hence, perturbations to the maternal and/or infant microbiota are likely to have a profound impact on the host response to RSV and susceptibility to childhood asthma. Here, we review recent insights describing the effects of the microbiota on immune system homeostasis and respiratory disease and discuss the environmental factors that promote microbial dysbiosis in infancy. Ultimately, this knowledge will be harnessed for the prevention and treatment of severe viral bronchiolitis as a strategy to prevent the onset and development of asthma.
