  • バクテリア病原性

背景

  • 抗生物質に耐性のある持続細胞は 持続的で再発する細菌感染症に寄与する.
  • 持続性菌は通常休眠状態とみなされるが,マクロファージのような宿主細胞内の状態は不明である.

研究 の 目的

  • マクロファージの感染中にサルモネラが持続する生理学的状態を調査する.
  • マクロファージ内での生存メカニズムを解明する.

主な方法

  • 感染したマクロファージ内のサルモネラ 持続細胞の活性分析
  • サルモネラ病原性の島2型3分泌システムによって分泌されるエフェクタタンパク質の調査.
  • マクロファージの免疫反応と分極化の評価

主要な成果

  • サルモネラ菌はマクロファージの中で持続し,代謝的に活発であり,休眠状態ではありません.
  • 分泌されるエフェクターは マクロファージを再プログラムし 炎症を抑制し 抗炎症分極化を促します

What is the Immune System? 01:38

128.0K

Overview

The immune system comprises diverse biological structures and processes that protect the body from disease. These processes can be classified into innate and adaptive immunity. To work effectively, the immune system needs to detect pathogens by distinguishing the body’s own structures from foreign elements. If this determination fails, autoimmune diseases occur in which the immune system reacts against the body’s own tissue.

Humoral Immune Responses 01:36

83.9K

Overview

The humoral immune response, also known as the antibody-mediated immune response, targets pathogens circulating in “humors,” or extracellular fluids, such as blood and lymph. Antibodies target invading pathogens for destruction via multiple defense mechanisms, including neutralization, opsonization, and activation of the complement system. Patients that are impaired in the production of antibodies suffer from severe and frequent infections by common pathogens and unusual...

Antibiotic Selection 00:57

59.9K

Overview

Researchers use antibiotic resistance genes to identify bacteria that possess a plasmid containing their gene of interest. Antibiotic resistance naturally occurs when a spontaneous DNA mutation creates changes in bacterial genes that eliminate antibiotic activity. Bacteria can share these new resistance genes with their offspring and other bacteria. The overuse and misuse of antibiotics have created a public health crisis, as resistant and multi-resistant bacteria continue to develop.

Defenses Against Pathogens and Herbivores 02:26

Plants present a rich source of nutrients for many organisms, making it a target for herbivores and infectious agents. Plants, though lacking a proper immune system, have developed an array of constitutive and inducible defenses to fend off these attacks.

Mechanical defenses form the first line of defense in plants. The thick barrier formed by the bark protects plants from herbivores. Hard shells, modified branches like thorns, and modified leaves like spines can also discourage herbivores...

Defense Against Bacterial Pathogens 01:31

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...

Defense Mechanism Against Infection 01:26

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...
