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...

Healthcare Associated Infections II: Preventive Measures

2.5K
Essential infection prevention measures are based on the knowledge of the infection chain, the modes of transmission in healthcare settings, and the use of the best practices in all healthcare settings. Compulsory public reporting of healthcare-associated infection rates is needed to allow individuals and the community to make informed choices regarding selecting a healthcare facility.
The best practices for preventing healthcare-associated infections include hand hygiene, patient risk...

Infection

7.7K
When a pathogen enters the body and reproduces, it can cause an infection, damage body cells, and cause illness symptoms that eventually lead to disease. Therefore, its prevention requires breaking the chain of infection.
The chain begins with pathogens: bacteria, viruses, fungi, prions, or parasites such as protozoa helminths. These can be present on the skin as transient or resident flora, or they can be acquired from the environment. Identifying and treating the type of infection and...

Healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) occur in a healthcare facility while a person receives care for another ailment. This category also includes work-related infections among healthcare staff.
HAIs significantly increase the cost of health care. Extended stays in healthcare institutions, increased disability, increased costs of medications, including specialized antibiotics, and prolonged recovery times add to the patient's expenses and the healthcare institution and funding bodies.

Development of Antibiotic Resistance01:30

Development of Antibiotic Resistance

Antibiotic resistance is a major public health concern that arises when bacteria evolve mechanisms to withstand the effects of antibiotic treatments. This resistance can be intrinsic, acquired through genetic mutations, or transferred between bacteria via horizontal gene transfer. The development of antibiotic resistance poses significant challenges in treating bacterial infections and necessitates ongoing research to develop new therapeutic strategies.Intrinsic resistance occurs when bacterial...

Área de la Ciencia:

  • Microbiología
  • Biología molecular
  • La bioquímica

Sus antecedentes:

  • El Staphylococcus aureus resistente a la meticilina (MRSA) es una amenaza clínica significativa debido a su resistencia a los antibióticos beta-lactámicos.
  • Esta resistencia es conferida principalmente por el gen mecA, que codifica la proteína 2a de unión a la penicilina (PBP2a).

Objetivo del estudio:

  • Investigar los mecanismos celulares y moleculares que emplea el SARM para mantener la viabilidad y la división en presencia de antibióticos.
  • Identificar posibles nuevos objetivos terapéuticos mediante la comprensión de las estrategias de resistencia a los antibióticos del SARM.

Principales métodos:

  • Análisis comparativo de la división celular de MRSA y la síntesis de peptidoglicanos bajo presión de antibióticos.
  • Análisis genético de las proteínas esenciales de unión a la penicilina (PBP) y identificación de las mutaciones compensatorias.

Principales resultados:

  • El MRSA exhibe un modo de división celular alternativo y una arquitectura de peptidoglicano alterada en el tabique de división cuando se expone a antibióticos.
  • PBP2a puede sustituir la actividad de la transpeptidasa de PBP2, pero no la de PBP1, que es crucial para el peptidoglicano septal nativo.
  • Las mutaciones del potenciador cromosómico (pot) permiten la división de MRSA en ausencia de actividad de PBP1.

Conclusiones:

  • El MRSA utiliza un mecanismo dual que involucra la actividad de PBP2a y una vía de división alternativa para un alto nivel de resistencia a los antibióticos.
  • Dirigirse a estos mecanismos de resistencia interconectados presenta una estrategia prometedora para el desarrollo de nuevos agentes resensibilizantes de MRSA.
