Questioning of the boundaries of politics and its relationship to society is at the heart of ESPOL-LAB’s scientific project. What is the scope of political decision-making? What are the drivers and who are the principal actors? What do new forms of violence and interna- tional conflicts, immigration policies and border controls, and transformations in interna- tional development tell us about our current times? As they are at the core of academic intellectual work, ESPOL-LAB’s activities are the scientific counterpart of the teaching provided Their research focuses on three within the School and make clusters that structure the ESPOL a unique intellectual environment for students. laboratory’s scientific activities

  • Influenza: Combating Bacterial Superinfection with the Help of the Microbiota
    PRESS RELEASE - PARIS – MARCH 2, 2020 EMBARGOED Until March 3, 2020 at 11 :00 US Eastern time / 17 :00 Paris time Influenza: combating bacterial superinfection with the help of the microbiota Researchers from the CNRS, INSERM, the Institut Pasteur de Lille, INRAE (France) and from Brazilian (Belo Horizonte), Scottish (Glasgow) and Danish (Copenhagen) laboratories have shown for the first time in mice that perturbation of the gut microbiota caused by the influenza virus favours secondary bacterial superinfection. Published in Cell Reports on March 3, 2020, these results open up new prospects for the prevention and treatment of bacterial pneumonia, a major cause of death in elderly or vulnerable people infected with the influenza virus. Influenza and its complications continue to be a significant public health concern as well as a major social and economic burden. Vaccination campaigns, together with the discovery of new antiviral therapies, provide preventive and therapeutic solutions. However, impairment of defence mechanisms against secondary bacterial infections, which considerably worsen the clinical picture of people with influenza, remains a major problem. Specializing in the field of pulmonary immunity, a team led by François Trottein, a CNRS researcher at the Lille Centre for Infection and Immunity (CNRS/INSERM/Institut Pasteur de Lille/University of Lille/CHU Lille), focused on the gut microbiota, well known for their key role in many physiological processes, including immune defence mechanisms. Scientists have shown that, in mice, influenza temporarily alters the composition and metabolic activity of the gut microbiota, probably due to reduced food consumption during illness. During influenza, the production of short-chain fatty acids by the bacteria of the microbiota is also diminished.
