Invasion of Human Cells by a Bacterial Pathogen
Here we will describe how we study the invasion of human endothelial cells by bacterial pathogen Staphylococcus aureus . The general protocol can be applied to the study of cell invasion by virtually any culturable bacterium. The stages at which specific aspects of invasion can be studied, such as the role of actin rearrangement or caveolae, will be highlighted. Host cells are grown in flasks a...
متن کاملSpatial invasion by a mutant pathogen.
Imagine a pathogen that is spreading radially as a circular wave through a population of susceptible hosts. In the interior of this circular region, the infection dies out due to a subcritical density of susceptibles. If a mutant pathogen, having some advantage over wild-type pathogens, arises in this region it is likely to die out without leaving a noticeable trace. Mutants that arise closer t...
متن کاملMicrobial diversity determines the invasion of soil by a bacterial pathogen.
Natural ecosystems show variable resistance to invasion by alien species, and this resistance can relate to the species diversity in the system. In soil, microorganisms are key components that determine life support functions, but the functional redundancy in the microbiota of most soils has long been thought to overwhelm microbial diversity-function relationships. We here show an inverse relat...
متن کاملTranscriptional immune responses by honey bee larvae during invasion by the bacterial pathogen, Paenibacillus larvae.
Honey bee larvae are highly susceptible to the bacterial pathogen Paenibacillus larvae only during the first instar of larval development. Transcript levels were measured for genes encoding two antimicrobial peptides, abaecin and defensin, as well as for two candidates in the immune response cascade (PGRP-LD and masquerade) in control larvae and larvae exposed to the pathogen. Transcripts for a...
متن کاملActivation of human NK cells by the bacterial pathogen-associated molecular pattern muramyl dipeptide.
Muramyl dipeptide (MDP) is a bacterial pathogen associated molecular pattern derived from both Gram-positive and -negative bacteria. It is a specific ligand for nuclear oligomerization domain 2, a pattern recognition receptor best characterized for its role in immunosurveillance in the gut. In this study, we demonstrate that human peripheral blood NK cells express nuclear oligomerization domain...
