Background: Canine atopic dermatitis (AD) is a common, genetically predisposed, inflammatory and pruritic skin disease. The pathogenesis of canine AD is incompletely understood.
Objectives: The aim of this review is to provide an in-depth update on the involvement of skin barrier and host-microbiome interaction in the pathogenesis of canine AD.

Dental caries or tooth decay may be defined as a dynamic process causing progressive destruction of hard tooth substance (enamel, dentine and cementum) involving demineralisation of the inorganic portion of the tooth, and dissolution of the organic portion. The onset and progression of carious lesions involves multiple host, micro-organism and substrate factors interacting in a continuous flux. The diagnosis of initial lesions remains a challenge for practitioners and, despite numerous studies, the assessment of future caries risk is still based largely on a patient's past caries experience.

Cell adhesion molecules, by regulating host-micro-organism interaction, play a major role in the pathogenesis of infectious diseases. The present study was undertaken to investigate the expression of the fibronectin (FN) receptor prototype, alpha 5 beta 1 integrin, on Candida albicans and its involvement in the adhesion to FN. By immunofluorescence and fluorescence activated cell sorter (FACS) analysis, several monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) directed against human alpha 5 or beta 1 integrin subunits, or two different antisera to FN receptor positively stained C.
