Possible New Human Pathogen
نویسنده
چکیده
In November 1963 a cytopathic agent was isolated from a baby who died in the Royal Manchester Children's Hospital. This agent produced an unfamiliar effect in cell cultures, and further studies confirmed that this effect was unlike anything previously encountered by us. Since then five other agents, producing similar cytopathic effects in cell cultures, have been isolated in the Public Health Laboratories at Manchester, Coventry, Cirencester, and Colindale. This paper describes the properties, so far as they have been determined, of these agents and the clinical features of the illnesses in the patients from whom they were isolated. We shall refer to them as Ryan

Identification and Evaluation of Novel Drug Targets against the Human Fungal Pathogen Aspergillus fumigatus with Elaboration on the Possible Role of RNA-Binding Protein
Bakground: Aspergillus fumigatus is an airborne opportunistic fungal pathogen that can cause fatal infections in immunocompromised patients. Although the current anti-fungal therapies are relatively efficient, some issues such as drug toxicity, drug interactions, and the emergence of drug-resistant fungi have promoted the intense research toward finding the novel drug targets. Methods: In searc...
