متن کاملInfection, inflammation and exercise in cystic fibrosis
Regular exercise is positively associated with health. It has also been suggested to exert anti-inflammatory effects. In healthy subjects, a single exercise session results in immune cell activation, which is characterized by production of immune modulatory peptides (e.g. IL-6, IL-8), a leukocytosis and enhanced immune cell functions. Upon cessation of exercise, immune activation is followed by...
متن کاملPseudomonas Aeruginosa Infection in Cystic Fibrosis Patients
Cystic Fibrosis is an autosomal recessive genetic disease where the lung is heavily colonized by biofilm forming Pseudomonas aeruginosabacteria. Biofilm due to its thick wall and presence of extracellular polymeric substances confers bacteria with a much higher resistance against antimicrobial compounds and environmental stress. Research has revealed the presence of extracellular DNA (eDNA) in ...
