Host and Microbes Date Exclusively
The significant impact of commensal microorganisms on metabolism, susceptibility to disease, and general well-being of their host has become increasingly clear in recent years. Chung et al. now show that the maturation and performance of the immune system depend on organism-specific bacterial species.

متن کاملMicrobes at the host surface
The human body encounters pathogenic bacteria every day although establishment of infections after such contacts is rare. The skin and mucosal surfaces, which comprise the barrier between the body and the external milieu, are the first lines of defense, and colonization of these surfaces is normally the first step in bacterial disease. As a physical barrier, the skin is reinforced by dry, sligh...
متن کاملLice, Humans, and Microbes
Lice are small, wingless, minor ectoparasites of mammals and birds. More than 540 blood-sucking lice (Phthiraptera: Anoplura) have been described with each host having its own type of louse, suggesting the cospeciation of the lice species with their host. Among these, two lice species from two different genera infest humans: Pediculus humanus and Phthirus pubis (pubic “crab” l...
متن کاملDeciphering host migrations and origins by means of their microbes.
Mitochondrial DNA and microsatellite sequences are powerful genetic markers for inferring the genealogy and the population genetic structure of animals but they have only limited resolution for organisms that display low genetic variability due to recent strong bottlenecks. An alternative source of data for deciphering migrations and origins in genetically uniform hosts can be provided by some ...
