Anti-Immune Strategies of Pathogenic Fungi
Pathogenic fungi have developed many strategies to evade the host immune system. Multiple escape mechanisms appear to function together to inhibit attack by the various stages of both the adaptive and the innate immune response. Thus, after entering the host, such pathogens fight to overcome the immune system to allow their survival, colonization and spread to different sites of infection. Cons...
متن کاملChallenges and Strategies for Proteome Analysis of the Interaction of Human Pathogenic Fungi with Host Immune Cells
Opportunistic human pathogenic fungi including the saprotrophic mold Aspergillus fumigatus and the human commensal Candida albicans can cause severe fungal infections in immunocompromised or critically ill patients. The first line of defense against opportunistic fungal pathogens is the innate immune system. Phagocytes such as macrophages, neutrophils and dendritic cells are an important pillar...
متن کاملFever from pathogenic fungi.
Most studies of fever have dealt with the pyrogenic activity of the bacterial lipopolysaccharides of gram-negative bacteria (1). The pyrogenic properties of pathogenic gram-positive bacteria, on the other hand, have been the stubject of only a few reports. It is of interest, however, that intravenous injection of living staphylococci and corynebacteria were found to produce higher fever in rabb...
متن کاملInsertional mutagenesis of pathogenic fungi.
Screening insertional mutants for loss of virulence is an effective method for investigating the molecular genetic basis of bacterial pathogenesis, but has only recently been applied to fungal pathogens. For many pathogenic fungi transformation with heterologous plasmid DNA results in complex integration events. This problem can now be circumvented for some species using restriction enzyme medi...
متن کاملMerthiolate treatment of pathogenic fungi.
The action of Merthiolate on the pathogenic yeasts Blastomyces, dermatitidis, Histoplasma capsulatum, and Sporothrix schenckii was compared to the effect of treatment with formaldehyde. Concentrations of 1:10,000 and 1:5,000 Merthiolate for three exposure times (24, 48, and 72 h) at 4 and 25 degrees C were tested on three media (brain heart infusion with and without blood, and modified Sabourau...
