Defense Mechanism Against Infection01:26

Defense Mechanism Against Infection

6.5K
Natural flora, body system defenses, and inflammation are natural barriers of the body against infectious agents regardless of previous exposure. Normal floras of the human body refer to the microbial population that colonizes the skin and mucous membranes.
In addition, many body organ systems have unique defenses against infection. The skin is an intact, multilayered surface preventing invasion by microorganisms unless impaired. Mucous membranes lining the mouth, nose, and eyelids are barriers...

Transcytosis of IgG01:15

Transcytosis of IgG

2.7K
Transcytosis is the process in which molecules are internalized by endocytosis, transported across the cell, and released through exocytosis from the opposite end of the cell. Molecules such as insulin, immunoglobulins, and certain nutrients are transferred through the recycling endosomes by recycling and transcytosis.
IgG molecules from a mother undergo transcytosis starting around 13 weeks of gestation. The amount of IgG transferred and entering the fetal blood circulation increases with...

Defense Against Bacterial Pathogens01:31

Defense Against Bacterial Pathogens

1.4K
The human immune system is a complex network of cells, tissues, and organs that work together to defend the body against bacterial infections. It consists of various immune cells, each playing a specific role in the defense mechanism.
Phagocytes
Phagocytes are the frontline soldiers of the immune system. They include neutrophils and macrophages. Neutrophils are the most abundant type of white blood cell and are quickly mobilized to the site of infection. Macrophages are larger cells that patrol...

Irritable Bowel Syndrome I: Introduction

257
Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is characterized by functional disturbances in the gastrointestinal system, presenting a cluster of symptoms without evident structural or biochemical abnormalities. It primarily affects the large intestine and may cause abdominal pain, bloating, excessive gas, diarrhea, constipation, or both.
IBS is a chronic condition that can persist over a long period or recur frequently.
The pathogenesis of IBS involves a complex interplay of the following factors:
Altered...

Surface Membrane Barriers01:18

Surface Membrane Barriers

1.1K
The skin and mucous membranes serve as the primary line of defense against pathogens by providing both physical and chemical protection. These barriers are essential in preventing the entry and establishment of microbes, thereby maintaining the integrity of the host.
The outer layer of the skin, the epidermis, is a robust barrier comprising layers of closely packed keratinized cells. This dense arrangement prevents microbes from penetrating the body. The periodic shedding of epidermal cells...

What is Monogastric Digestion?01:50

What is Monogastric Digestion?

70.9K
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.

Area of Science:

  • Microbiology
  • Immunology
  • Gastroenterology

Background:

  • Gut colonization by pathogens is crucial for infection development.
  • Effective strategies to eliminate pathogens while preserving commensal microbiota are limited.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate a novel approach for selective pathogen elimination from the gut.
  • To assess the efficacy of combining oral vaccination with niche-competing strains.

Main Methods:

  • Oral vaccination was administered.
  • A niche-competing microbial strain was introduced.
  • Selective elimination of target pathogens was monitored.

Main Results:

  • The combined approach successfully eliminated Salmonella spp. and related Escherichia coli.
  • Commensal microbiota composition remained largely undisturbed.

Conclusions:

  • This strategy offers a promising method for targeted gut pathogen eradication.
  • It provides a potential solution for managing infections without disrupting the gut microbiome.
