چکیده
The significant impact of commensal microorganisms on metabolism, susceptibility to disease, and general well-being of their host has become increasingly clear in recent years. Chung et al. now show that the maturation and performance of the immune system depend on organism-specific bacterial species.

Lice, Humans, and Microbes
Lice are small, wingless, minor ectoparasites of mammals and birds. More than 540 blood-sucking lice (Phthiraptera: Anoplura) have been described with each host having its own type of louse, suggesting the cospeciation of the lice species with their host. Among these, two lice species from two different genera infest humans: Pediculus humanus and Phthirus pubis (pubic “crab” l...
متن کاملPotential use of probiotics
Chukeatirote, E. Potential use of probiotics Songklanakarin J. Sci. Technol., 2003, 25(2) : 275-282 Probiotics (Greek: for life) are commonly defined as monoor mixed cultures of live microbes that, when applied to animal or human, possess a beneficial effect on health of the host. These beneficial effects include disease treatment and prevention as well as improvement of nutrients’ digestion an...
متن کاملMining the Human Gut Microbiota for Immunomodulatory Organisms
Within the human gut reside diverse microbes coexisting with the host in a mutually advantageous relationship. Evidence has revealed the pivotal role of the gut microbiota in shaping the immune system. To date, only a few of these microbes have been shown to modulate specific immune parameters. Herein, we broadly identify the immunomodulatory effects of phylogenetically diverse human gut microb...
متن کاملThreat of infection: microbes of high pathogenic potential--strategies for detection, control and eradication.
Infectious diseases due to microbes of high pathogenic potential remain a constant and variable threat for human and animal health. The emergence of new diseases or the re-emergence of diseases that were previously under control complicates the situation to date. Infectious disease research, which has undergone a dramatic progress in understanding disease mechanisms such as host-pathogen intera...
متن کاملUltrastructural identification of spirochetes and flagellated microbes at the brush border of the large intestinal epithelium of the rhesus monkey.
Spiral-shaped organisms exclusively and intimately populate the brush border of the cecal and colonic epithelium of healthy monkeys (Macaca mulatta). These organisms replace the glycocalyx, destroy most microvilli, and attenuate the terminal web of the brush border. Despite these remarkable alterations, the remaining host cellular structure is unchanged. Two structurally distinct microbes, a sp...
