Apoptosis and oxidative burst in neutrophils infected with Mycobacterium spp.
Two of the better characterized antimicrobial mechanisms displayed by human neutrophils are the reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and the induction of apoptosis. Their importance in mycobacterial infections is, however, controversial and we aimed to analyze them simultaneously in neutrophils infected with either Mycobacterium tuberculosis or the non-pathogenic M. gordonae. Neither specie...

متن کاملMycobacterium spp. in naturally infected game meat and organs.
T valued comments from Prof. Wiwanitkit echo the selfcriticism of the authors on the topic. The study aimed to investigate the survival potential of M. bovis in dried meat. The most effective or ideal food preparation method was not discussed but was recommended for further study. It must be emphasised, however, that no pathogens – only non-tuberculous mycobacteria – were isolated from the proc...

متن کاملNeisseria meningitidis Lacking the Major Porins PorA and PorB Is Viable and Modulates Apoptosis and the Oxidative Burst of Neutrophils.
The bacterial pathogen Neisseria meningitidis expresses two major outer-membrane porins. PorA expression is subject to phase-variation (high frequency, random, on-off switching), and both PorA and PorB are antigenically variable between strains. PorA expression is variable and not correlated with meningococcal colonisation or invasive disease, whereas all naturally-occurring strains express Por...
