Mucosal infections involve the invasion of mucosal surfaces lining various organs, such as the respiratory, gastrointestinal, and urogenital tracts, by pathogenic microorganisms. These infections can be caused by bacteria, viruses, fungi, or parasites and often result in a range of diseases depending on the affected mucosal site. Mucosal surfaces serve as the body's first line of defense against pathogens, featuring specialized immune components like mucins, antimicrobial peptides, and immunoglobulin A (IgA). However, pathogens have evolved strategies to circumvent these defenses, leading to infections. Common mucosal infections include respiratory infections like influenza and pneumonia, gastrointestinal infections such as gastroenteritis, and urogenital infections like urinary tract infections. Transmission typically occurs through direct contact, ingestion, or inhalation of contaminated materials. Understanding mucosal immunity is crucial for developing effective vaccines and therapies against mucosal infections. Research in this field focuses on elucidating the interactions between pathogens and the mucosal immune system, exploring vaccination strategies that induce mucosal immunity, and developing targeted interventions to prevent and treat mucosal infections.
