متن کاملBacterial cell curvature through mechanical control of cell growth.
The cytoskeleton is a key regulator of cell morphogenesis. Crescentin, a bacterial intermediate filament-like protein, is required for the curved shape of Caulobacter crescentus and localizes to the inner cell curvature. Here, we show that crescentin forms a single filamentous structure that collapses into a helix when detached from the cell membrane, suggesting that it is normally maintained i...
متن کاملControl of bacterial pneumonia during mechanical ventilation.
Pneumonia complicates the course of 50% of patients on mechanical ventilation, requiring three or more days of mechanical ventilation and potentially increasing the relative risk of mortality by 20-40%. The predominant potentially pathogenic micro-organisms are Streptococcus pneumoniae, Staphylococcus aureus (sensitive to methicillin in the previously healthy host), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (aero...
متن کاملCell Membrane Shape Control - Effects
The shape of the human erythrocyte is normally maintamed in vivo as a biconcave disc for 120 days. In vitro. the cell shape can be altered readily by amphipathic cornpounds; however. given time and an energy source. the cells can recover the discoid morphology. An active shape control mechanism is postulated to regulate erythrocyte shape. The shape recovery process is a necessary element in rev...
