Bacterial Disease in Diverse Hosts
teria, often in response to contacting host cells or host Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology factors (often called “contact-mediated” secretion) (reDepartment of Microbiology and Immunology viewed by Hueck, 1998). Remarkably, type III systems University of British Columbia also transport specific virulence factors directly into Vancouver, British Columbia host cells, acting as a s...
متن کاملModeling diverse communities of marine microbes.
Biogeochemical cycles in the ocean are mediated by complex and diverse microbial communities. Over the past decade, marine ecosystem and biogeochemistry models have begun to address some of this diversity by resolving several groups of (mostly autotrophic) plankton, differentiated by biogeochemical function. Here, we review recent model approaches that are rooted in the notion that an even rich...
متن کاملOf inflammasomes and pathogens – sensing of microbes by the inflammasome
Inflammasomes are signalling platforms that sense a diverse range of microbial products and also a number of stress and damage associated endogenous signals. Inflammasome complexes can be formed by members of the Nod-like receptor family or the PYHIN family member AIM2. Upon formation, inflammasomes trigger proteolysis of caspase-1, which subsequently leads to a potent inflammatory response thr...
متن کاملGut-liver axis and sensing microbes.
'Detoxification' of gut-derived toxins and microbial products from gut-derived microbes is a major role of the liver. While the full repertoire of gut-derived microbial products that reach the liver in health and disease is yet to be explored, the levels of bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS), a component of Gram-negative bacteria, is increased in the portal and/or systemic circulation in severa...
متن کاملFrom Many Hosts, One Accidental Pathogen: The Diverse Protozoan Hosts of Legionella
The 1976 outbreak of Legionnaires' disease led to the discovery of the intracellular bacterial pathogen Legionella pneumophila. Given their impact on human health, Legionella species and the mechanisms responsible for their replication within host cells are often studied in alveolar macrophages, the primary human cell type associated with disease. Despite the potential severity of individual ca...
