Adaptive Prediction As a Strategy in Microbial Infections

Adaptive Prediction As a Strategy in Microbial Infections

Microorganisms need to sense and respond to constantly changing microenvironments, and adapt their transcriptome, proteome, and metabolism accordingly to survive [1]. However, microbes sometimes react in a way which does not make immediate biological sense in light of the current environment— for example, by up-regulating an iron acquisition system in times of metal abundance. The reason for th...

False friends: Phagocytes as Trojan horses in microbial brain infections

Humans are constantly exposed to pathogenic microbes. The first line of cellular host defense is composed of “professional” phagocytes, cells that efficiently recognize pathogens, internalize them, and then marshal an array of antimicrobial mechanisms to destroy them. Nevertheless, successful pathogens evade or survive such attack. A particularly subversive strategy is to manipulate normal phag...
