Pathogenic Micro-Organisms
This well-known book has been thoroughly revised and brought up-to-date; it is now in its eighth edition. The writers have succeeded in producing a manual which is not merely a collection of facts but is a wellbalanced and readable book in which the student and practitioner will find all that is of importance in the science and practice of bacteriology. One says bacteriology, because, although ...
متن کاملDiversity of Cell Wall Related Proteins in Human Pathogenic Fungi
The cell wall is one of the major keys to fungal identity. Fungi use their cell wall to sense the environment, and localize nutrients and competing microorganism. Pathogenic species additionally modify their cell walls to hide from a host's immune system. With the growing number of fungal infections and alarming shortage of available drugs, we are in need of new approaches to fight pathogens. T...
متن کاملPathogenic organisms in hip joint infections
Infections of the hip joint are usually of bacterial etiology. Only rarely, an infectious arthritis is caused in this localization by viruses or fungi. Native joint infections of the hip are less common than infections after implantation of prosthetic devices. Difficulties in prosthetic joint infections are, (I) a higher age of patients, and, thus an associated presence of other medical risk fa...
متن کاملComplement Evasion by Pathogenic Leptospira
Leptospirosis is a neglected infectious disease caused by spirochetes from the genus Leptospira. Pathogenic microorganisms, notably those which reach the blood circulation such as Leptospira, have evolved multiple strategies to escape the host complement system, which is important for innate and acquired immunity. Leptospira avoid complement-mediated killing through: (i) recruitment of host com...
متن کاملDimerization of complement factor H-related proteins modulates complement activation in vivo.
The complement system is a key component regulation influences susceptibility to age-related macular degeneration, meningitis, and kidney disease. Variation includes genomic rearrangements within the complement factor H-related (CFHR) locus. Elucidating the mechanism underlying these associations has been hindered by the lack of understanding of the biological role of CFHR proteins. Here we pre...
