Water Microbiology. Bacterial Pathogens and Water
Water is essential to life, but many people do not have access to clean and safe drinking water and many die of waterborne bacterial infections. In this review a general characterization of the most important bacterial diseases transmitted through water-cholera, typhoid fever and bacillary dysentery-is presented, focusing on the biology and ecology of the causal agents and on the diseases' char...
متن کاملNuclear microbiology--bacterial assault on the nucleolus.
Intracellular bacterial pathogens exploit the compartmentalization of the eukaryotic cell to create an environment that supports their own survival and growth. Among cellular organelles, the nucleus has long been considered to be mostly ‘safe’ from direct bacterial attacks. However, a growing number of molecules secreted by bacteria—termed ‘nucleomodulins’—target this central organelle to subve...
متن کاملThe microbiology of bacterial lung abscess: time for a reappraisal?
ed an overall mortality around a dismal 15–20% [5, 6] , the most recent studies dealing with primary lung abscesses (including the one published here below) report a substantial reduction of the mortality which, at present, does not seem to exceed a very encouraging 1–5% [7] . However, it must be emphasized that mortality is related not only to the underlining medical conditions, but also to ce...

متن کاملResistant Infantile Bacterial Conjunctivitis in Egypt: A Microbiology Study.
PURPOSE To study the microbiological aspects of infantile bacterial conjunctivitis resistant to empirical topical antibiotic therapy in Egypt. METHODS Ninety-two eyes of 86 infants with bacterial conjunctivitis were included in this prospective study. They all failed to show evidence of clinical improvement after 2 weeks of empirical topical antibiotic therapy. Conjunctival swabs were obtaine...
