ABSTRACTAn imbalance of normal bacterial groups such as Bacteroidales within the human gut is correlated with diseases like obesity. A current grand challenge in the microbiome field is to identify factors produced by normal microbiome bacteria that cause these observed health and disease correlations. While identifying factors like a bacterial injection system could provide a missing explanation for why Bacteroidales correlates with host health, no such factor has been identified to date. The lack of knowledge about these factors is a significant barrier to improving therapies like fecal transplants that promote a healthy microbiome. Here we show that a previously ill-defined Contractile Injection System is carried in the gut microbiome of 99% of individuals from the United States and Europe. This type of Contractile Injection System, we name here Bacteroidales Injection System (BIS), is related to the contractile tails of bacteriophage (viruses of bacteria) and have been described to mediate interactions between bacteria and diverse eukaryotes like amoeba, insects and tubeworms. Our findings that BIS are ubiquitous within adult human microbiomes suggest that they shape host health by mediating interactions between Bacteroidales bacteria and the human host or its microbiome.

In the mid-nineteenth century Virchow revolutionized pathology by introduction of the concept of “cellular pathology”. Today, a century later, this term has increasing significance in health and disease. We now are in the beginning of a new era in pathology, one which might well be termed “organelle pathology” or “subcellular pathology”. The impact of lysosomal diseases on clinical medicine exemplifies this role of pathology of organelles in elucidation of disease today.Another aspect of cell organelles of prime importance is their pathologic alteration by drugs, toxins, hormones and malnutrition. The sensitivity of cell organelles to minute alterations in their environment offers an accurate evaluation of the site of action of drugs in the study of both function and toxicity. Examples of mitochondrial lesions include the effect of DDD on the adrenal cortex, riboflavin deficiency on liver cells, elevated blood ammonia on the neuron and some 8-aminoquinolines on myocardium.

The epithelium plays a critical role in the maintenance of laryngeal health. This is evident in that laryngeal disease may result when the integrity of the epithelium is compromised by insults such as laryngopharyngeal reflux. In this article, we will review the structure and function of the laryngeal epithelium and summarize the impact of laryngopharyngeal reflux on the epithelium. Research investigating the ramifications of reflux on the epithelium has improved our understanding of laryngeal disease associated with laryngopharyngeal reflux. It further highlights the need for continued research on the laryngeal epithelium in health and disease.
