Chemotherapy of Intracellular Infections
The phagocytic system, distributed throughout the blood and tissue compartments of the body, acts as an intermediary between the host and pathogenic microorganisms. This is not a specific function, it being one of the physiological properties of phagocytes to engulf particulate matter and even larger molecules which have gained access to blood or tissues of an organism. Metchnikoff (15), recogn...
متن کاملIncreased microbial yield from continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis peritonitis effluent after chemical or physical disruption of phagocytes.
The laboratory diagnosis of continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis-associated peritonitis is often hindered by either the absence of or the recovery of low numbers of viable microorganisms. This may be the result of sequestration of bacteria within phagocytes. Sonication of clinical specimens prior to culturing or culturing on saponin-containing media resulted in the growth of significantly ...
متن کاملDictyostelium discoideum as a Novel Host System to Study the Interaction between Phagocytes and Yeasts
The social amoeba Dictyostelium discoideum is a well-established model organism to study the interaction between bacteria and phagocytes. In contrast, research using D. discoideum as a host model for fungi is rare. We describe a comprehensive study, which uses D. discoideum as a host model system to investigate the interaction with apathogenic (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) and pathogenic (Candida ...
متن کاملEffects of the pathogenic Vibrio tapetis on defence factors of susceptible and non-susceptible bivalve species: I. Haemocyte changes following in vitro challenge.
In microbial infections, the interaction between microorganisms and phagocytic cells is a crucial determinant in the outcome of the disease process. We used flow cytometry to study the in vitro interactions between Vibrio tapetis, the bacterium responsible for Brown Ring Disease (BRD) in the Manila clam Ruditapes philippinarum, and haemocytes from three bivalve species: the Manila clam (suscept...
متن کاملAgent-Based Modeling Approach of Immune Defense Against Spores of Opportunistic Human Pathogenic Fungi
Opportunistic human pathogenic fungi like the ubiquitous fungus Aspergillus fumigatus are a major threat to immunocompromised patients. An impaired immune system renders the body vulnerable to invasive mycoses that often lead to the death of the patient. While the number of immunocompromised patients is rising with medical progress, the process, and dynamics of defense against invaded and ready...
