Competition for zinc binding in the host-pathogen interaction
Due to its favorable chemical properties, zinc is used as a structural or catalytic cofactor in a very large number of proteins. Despite the apparent abundance of this metal in all cell types, the intracellular pool of loosely bound zinc ions available for biological exchanges is in the picomolar range and nearly all zinc is tightly bound to proteins. In addition, to limit bacterial growth, som...
متن کاملPathogen relatedness affects the prevalence of within-host competition.
Although the evolutionary consequences of within-host competition among pathogens have been examined extensively, there exists a critical gap in our understanding of factors determining the prevalence of multiple infections. Here we examine the effects of relatedness among strains of the anther-smut pathogen Microbotryum violaceum on the probability of multiple infection in its host, Silene lat...
متن کاملHost Mobility Drives Pathogen Competition in Spatially Structured Populations
Interactions among multiple infectious agents are increasingly recognized as a fundamental issue in the understanding of key questions in public health regarding pathogen emergence, maintenance, and evolution. The full description of host-multipathogen systems is, however, challenged by the multiplicity of factors affecting the interaction dynamics and the resulting competition that may occur a...

known etiology, affecting persons worldwide. Because the etiologies remain enigmatic, the ability to identify effective therapeutics remains elusive. Sarcoidosis immunology and pathology suggest that infectious agents may have a role in its pathogenesis. Molecular analysis of pathologic tissues remains a viable mechanism for identifying etiologic agents of microbial origin. In this issue of Sar...
متن کاملNetwork Analysis Highlights Complex Interactions between Pathogen, Host and Commensal Microbiota
Interactions between bacteria and their host represent a full continuum from pathogenicity to mutualism. From an evolutionary perspective, host-bacteria relationships are no longer considered a two-component system but rather a complex network. In this study, we focused on the relationship between brook charr (Salvelinus fontinalis) and bacterial communities developing on skin mucus. We hypothe...
