Host Specificity in Microbe-Microbe Interactions
ventional monocultural crop systems often supported by high inputs of pesticides and fertilizers to sustainable agriculture. Although precise definitions of sustainable agriculture vary, one key aspect is a reduction in agrichemical inputs with a corresponding shift to alternative crop protection strategies, such as cultural practices, organic amendments, resistant or tolerant crop varieties, a...
متن کاملTwo tales of the polarizing immune responses: Th1-mediated host-microbe interaction in tuberculosis vs. Th2-driven childhood asthma.
Immune responses are tailored to deal with invading pathogens while cause minimal damages to the host. In some settings, however, this balance is not maintained and the detrimental outcomes are manifested. Chronic inflammation after bacterial infections or hyper responsiveness to allergens are mediated by two opposing cytokine patterns. Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) is an intracellular patho...
متن کاملExpression of fluorescent proteins in Lactobacillus rhamnosus to study host–microbe and microbe–microbe interactions
Probiotic Lactobacillus strains are widely used to benefit human and animal health, although the exact mechanisms behind their interactions with the host and the microbiota are largely unknown. Fluorescent tagging of live probiotic cells is an important tool to unravel their modes of action. In this study, the implementation of different heterologously expressed fluorescent proteins for the lab...
متن کاملHost-Microbe Interactions: Winning the Colonization Lottery.
Stochastic bottlenecks during bacterial colonization of animal hosts lead to reduced genetic diversity in the resulting microbiota and, at low-inoculation doses, can result in hosts that remain uncolonized. Bacterial strains vary in their colonization efficiency and resistance to displacement.
متن کاملThe Iron age of host-microbe interactions.
Microbes exert a major impact on human health and disease by either promoting or disrupting homeostasis, in the latter instance leading to the development of infectious diseases. Such disparate outcomes are driven by the ever-evolving genetic diversity of microbes and the countervailing host responses that minimize their pathogenic impact. Host defense strategies that limit microbial pathogenic...
