Cryptococcal Cell Morphology Affects Host Cell Interactions and Pathogenicity
Cryptococcus neoformans is a common life-threatening human fungal pathogen. The size of cryptococcal cells is typically 5 to 10 microm. Cell enlargement was observed in vivo, producing cells up to 100 microm. These morphological changes in cell size affected pathogenicity via reducing phagocytosis by host mononuclear cells, increasing resistance to oxidative and nitrosative stress, and correlat...
متن کاملCampylobacter protein glycosylation affects host cell interactions.
Campylobacter jejuni 81-176 pgl mutants impaired in general protein glycosylation showed reduced ability to adhere to and invade INT407 cells and to colonize intestinal tracts of mice.
متن کاملBacterium-host protein-carbohydrate interactions and pathogenicity.
Introduction It is generally believed that microbe interaction with host cell carbohydrate is essential for disease to occur. Several hundred carbohydrate-based specificities are known for microbes and microbial toxins based on agglutination, inhibition and other types of assaying [l-31. However, in view of this vast documentation of binding properties it is suprising that in only a few cases h...
متن کاملEarly Bunyavirus-Host Cell Interactions
The Bunyaviridae is the largest family of RNA viruses, with over 350 members worldwide. Several of these viruses cause severe diseases in livestock and humans. With an increasing number and frequency of outbreaks, bunyaviruses represent a growing threat to public health and agricultural productivity globally. Yet, the receptors, cellular factors and endocytic pathways used by these emerging pat...
متن کاملHost-Fungal Interactions: Pathogenicity versus Immunity
Fungal pathogens represent a leading cause of life-threatening infections in debilitated patients and exert a substantial toll on health care resources. A major development in the past few years, resulting from extremely rapid technological advances, has been the elucidation of the genome sequences of all of the major human fungal pathogens. Together with the development of transcriptomics and ...
