Neisseria meningitidis, pathogenetic mechanisms to overcome the human immune defences.
Neisseria meningitidis is hosted only by humans and colonizes the nasopharynx; it survives in the human body by reaching an equilibrium with its exclusive host. Indeed, while cases of invasive disease are rare, the number of asymptomatic Neisseria meningitides carriers is far higher. The aim of this paper is to summarize the current knowledge of survival strategies of Neisseria meningitides aga...
متن کاملSymbiotic bacteria enable olive fly larvae to overcome host defences
Ripe fruit offer readily available nutrients for many animals, including fruit fly larvae (Diptera: Tephritidae) and their associated rot-inducing bacteria. Yet, during most of their ontogeny, fruit remain chemically defended and effectively suppress herbivores and pathogens by high levels of secondary metabolites. Olive flies (Bactrocera oleae) are uniquely able to develop in unripe olives. Un...
متن کاملStrategies to Overcome Network Congestion in Infrastructure Systems
Networked Infrastructure systems deliver services and/or products from point to point along the network. Demand for the services provided by such systems is typically cyclic, creating inefficiencies in capacity utilization. Congestion pricing provides incentives to shift demand from peak time periods to lower demand periods. This effectively increases the capacity of the system without the need...
متن کاملStrategies to overcome biofilm resistance
Biofilm have been found to be involved in a wide variety of microbial infections in the body, by one estimate 80% of all infections. A number of anti-biofilm strategies have emerged to prevent the colonization and formation of biofilms. However, there are four main intervention strategies in clinical practice for biofilm-associated infections. The first strategy is to prevent the initial microb...
متن کاملPlant Defences Against Herbivore and Insect Attack
The story of Adam and Eve links eating a forbidden fruit with death in the cycle of human existence (Genesis 3:1– 24). Indeed, to avoid poisoning, herbivores and omnivores such as humans must be cautious in choosing which plants and plant parts to eat. A prevailing hypothesis is that the nearly ubiquitous antiherbivore metabolites in plants were selected by coevolution with herbivores. Likewise...
