Altering Host Resistance to Infections through Microbial Transplantation
Host resistance to bacterial infections is thought to be dictated by host genetic factors. Infections by the natural murine enteric pathogen Citrobacter rodentium (used as a model of human enteropathogenic and enterohaemorrhagic E. coli infections) vary between mice strains, from mild self-resolving colonization in NIH Swiss mice to lethality in C3H/HeJ mice. However, no clear genetic component...
متن کاملEnhancement of host resistance to microbial infections in mice fed a high fat diet by Lactobacillus casei cells.
The carbon clearance ability of female ddY mice was markedly reduced by feeding with a high fat-low carbohydrate (HFLC) diet for 8 weeks. The reduced clearance ability was restored by a single intraperiotoneal (i.p.) injection with heat-killed Lactobacillus casei (YIT 9018) cells (LC 9018). The i.p. injection of LC 9018 into the HFLC diet-fed mice led to a remarkable enhancement of nonspecific ...
متن کاملAnti-Microbial Resistance of Enterococci Isolated from Urinary Tract Infections in Iran
Background: During the last decade, enterococci have become important nosocomial pathogens, representing the second leading cause of urinary tract infections. This increasing prevalence has been paralleled by the occurrence of multi-drug resistant (MDR) and high-level gentamicin resistant (HLGR) strains. Methods: From September 2005 to 2006, a total of 638 enterococcal isolates were collected ...
متن کاملP 49: Exercise Effects on Cognitive Impairments Through Altering Neuroinflammation
Cognitive impairments describe a state of diminished or impaired mental and/or intellectual function such as Alzheimer's disease, Huntington's disease and Parkinson's disease. As these disorders are more frequent in the elderly and due to the ageing of population, serious attention must be paid to these diseases. Exercise has shown to have preventive and therapeutic effects on cognitive impairm...
متن کاملGrowth-altering microbial interactions are responsive to chemical context
Microbial interactions are ubiquitous in nature, and are equally as relevant to human wellbeing as the identities of the interacting microbes. However, microbial interactions are difficult to measure and characterize. Furthermore, there is growing evidence that they are not fixed, but dependent on environmental context. We present a novel workflow for inferring microbial interactions that integ...
