Fungal Phylum Microsporidia01:28

Fungal Phylum Microsporidia

41
Microsporidia are a group of obligate intracellular fungi that were initially classified as protists but were later reclassified based on phylogenetic, molecular, and structural evidence linking them to the Chytridiomycota. These unicellular, non-motile organisms are highly specialized parasites that infect a wide range of animal hosts, including humans. They have evolved extensive genomic and metabolic reductions, making them highly dependent on their hosts for survival.Morphology and Genomic...

What is Monogastric Digestion?

71.4K
The human body contains a monogastric digestive system. In a monogastric digestive system, the stomach only contains one chamber in which it digests food. Several other animal species also have monogastric digestive systems, including pigs, horses, dogs, and birds. This chapter, however, focuses on the human digestive system.

Anatomy of the Intestines

72.3K
Although digestion of proteins, carbohydrates, and lipids may begin in the stomach, it is completed in the intestine. The absorption of nutrients, water, and electrolytes from food and drink also occurs in the intestine. The intestines can be divided into two structurally distinct organs—the small and large intestines.
Small Intestines
The small intestine is an ~7 meter-long tube with an inner diameter of just 2.5 cm. Since most nutrients are absorbed here, the inner lining of the...

  • Microbiology
  • Immunology
  • Neuroscience

Background:

  • Cryptococcus neoformans species complex (C. neoformans SC) causes fungal meningitis in immunocompromised individuals.
  • C. neoformans SC melanin is a key virulence factor, aiding immune evasion.
  • The microbiota-gut-brain axis may influence melanin production and C. neoformans SC infections.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the potential association between cryptococcal meningitis and the gut microbiome.
  • To highlight the therapeutic potential of targeting the gut microbiome for C. neoformans SC infections.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing literature on C. neoformans SC, fungal meningitis, and the gut microbiome.
  • Analysis of studies investigating C. neoformans infections and their impact on gut dysbiosis.
  • Discussion of the microbiota-gut-brain axis in relation to fungal pathogenesis.

Main Results:

  • Cryptococcus neoformans infections are associated with gut microbiome dysbiosis.
  • The gut microbiome may play a role in the pathogenesis of cryptococcal meningitis.
  • C. neoformans SC infections can induce alterations in the gut microbial community.
