Impact of cigarette smoke exposure on host-bacterial pathogen interactions.
The human respiratory tract of individuals with normal lung function maintains a fine-tuned balance, being asymptomatically colonised by the normal microbiota in the upper airways and sterile in the lower tract. This equilibrium may be disrupted by the exposure to insults such as cigarette smoke. In the respiratory tract, the complex and noxious nature of inhaled cigarette smoke alters host-mic...
متن کاملAssessing the Effect of Simultaneous Exposure to Noise and Cigarette Smoke on Workers’ Blood Pressure
Introduction: Noise, as the most common pollutant in the industrial environment, can lead to hearing loss and negatively affect other organs such as the cardiovascular system. Cigarette smoking is a popular habit among some workers, and can also have a negative effect on the cardiovascular system. This study aimed to investigate the effect of simultaneous exposure to noise and cigarette smoke o...
متن کاملBacterial Lipoproteins Diverse Role in Host-Pathogen Interactions
Introduction In the recent years, primarily due to the advances in genome sequencing of bacteria, an increased number of lipoproteins have been predicted in the various strains of bacteria. Bacterial lipoproteins are critical for the survival of both the Grampositive and Gram-negative bacteria. Bacteria are found on the surface of host or within the body as commensals or as pathogenic organisms...
متن کاملBacterial endophthalmitis: therapeutic challenges and host-pathogen interactions.
Endophthalmitis is an infection of the posterior segment of the eye that frequently results in loss of vision. This devastating result occurs despite prompt and often aggressive therapeutic and surgical intervention. Over the past decade, research has centered on determining the bacterial and host factors involved in this potentially blinding disease. The initial focus on the bacterial factors ...
متن کاملBacterial serine/threonine protein kinases in host-pathogen interactions.
In bacterial pathogenesis, monitoring and adapting to the dynamically changing environment in the host and an ability to disrupt host immune responses are critical. The virulence determinants of pathogenic bacteria include the sensor/signaling proteins of the serine/threonine protein kinase (STPK) family that have a dual role of sensing the environment and subverting specific host defense proce...
