Bacteria can mobilize nematode-trapping fungi to kill nematodes
In their natural habitat, bacteria are consumed by bacterivorous nematodes; however, they are not simply passive preys. Here we report a defensive mechanism used by certain bacteria to mobilize nematode-trapping fungi to kill nematodes. These bacteria release urea, which triggers a lifestyle switch in the fungus Arthrobotrys oligospora from saprophytic to nematode-predatory form; this predaciou...
متن کاملDesigning surfaces that kill bacteria on contact.
Poly(4-vinyl-N-alkylpyridinium bromide) was covalently attached to glass slides to create a surface that kills airborne bacteria on contact. The antibacterial properties were assessed by spraying aqueous suspensions of bacterial cells on the surface, followed by air drying and counting the number of cells remaining viable (i.e., capable of growing colonies). Amino glass slides were acylated wit...
متن کاملIL-17 amplifies human contact hypersensitivity by licensing hapten nonspecific Th1 cells to kill autologous keratinocytes.
Th17 is a newly identified lineage of effector T cells involved in autoimmunity and immune responses to pathogens. We demonstrate in this study the pathogenic role of IL-17-producing CD4(+) T lymphocytes in allergic contact dermatitis (ACD) to skin-applied chemicals. IL-17(+) T cells infiltrate ACD reactions and predominantly distribute at the site of heavy spongiosis. Skin IL-17(+) T cells wer...
متن کاملDie to kill: psychological and sociological study of suicide terrorism
One of the principal challenges now days, especially in the countries which are engaged in inland riots, is suicide attack which spreads fear broadly in human societies. More than the legal and political reactions to this social phenomenon, one of the preventive ways, is to analyze the suicide terrorists personally. No doubt, achievement to this understanding can be influential in preventing th...
متن کاملHow the Antimicrobial Peptides Kill Bacteria: Computational Physics Insights
In the present article, coarse grained Dissipative Particle Dynamics simulation with implementation of electrostatic interactions is developed in constant pressure and surface tension ensemble to elucidate how the antimicrobial peptide molecules affect bilayer cell membrane structure and kill bacteria. We find that peptideswith different chemical-physical properties exhibit different membrane o...
