Are Human Intestinal Eukaryotes Beneficial or Commensals?
Since the advent of microbiology, it has been well known that each human body hosts a multitude of microbes. The magnitude of our microbial system is best reflected by the widely discussed ratio of one human cell to ten microbes. Indeed, humans and other mammals live in a consortium composed of vast arrays of viruses (these are typically called the virome), archaea and bacteria (i.e., the micro...
متن کاملInteractions between human respiratory mucins and pathogens.
Three defence mechanisms are responsible for the sterility of the normal tracheobronchial tree: the mucociliary escalator, which continuously traps inhaled micro-organisms; phagocytes; and the bronchial immune system. In the mucociliary system, the respiratory mucus which covers the respiratory mucosa is moved towards the pharnyx as a result of the beating of the cilia covering the airways epit...
متن کاملInteractions between intestinal pathogens, enteropathy and malnutrition in developing countries
PURPOSE OF REVIEW This review focuses on recent data highlighting the interactions between intestinal pathogens, enteropathy and malnutrition in developing countries, which drive morbidity and mortality and hinder the long-term developmental potential of children. RECENT FINDINGS Diarrhoea remains the second commonest cause of death in children below 5 years, and malnutrition underlies 45% of...
متن کاملEnterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli Reduces Mucus and Intermicrovillar Bridges in Human Stem Cell-Derived Colonoids
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Enterohemorrhagic E. coli (EHEC) causes over 70,000 episodes of foodborne diarrhea annually in the USA. The early sequence of events which precede life-threatening hemorrhagic colitis and hemolytic uremic syndrome are not fully understood due to the initial asymptomatic phase of the disease and the lack of a suitable animal model. The aim of this study was to determine the i...
متن کاملPaneth cells directly sense gut commensals and maintain homeostasis at the intestinal host-microbial interface.
The intestinal epithelium is in direct contact with a vast microbiota, yet little is known about how epithelial cells defend the host against the heavy bacterial load. To address this question we studied Paneth cells, a key small intestinal epithelial lineage. We found that Paneth cells directly sense enteric bacteria through cell-autonomous MyD88-dependent toll-like receptor (TLR) activation, ...
