Editorial: Proteomics of Microbial Human Pathogens
Despite remarkable advances in treatment and prevention, infectious diseases remain amongst the leading causes of death worldwide, particularly in the developing world, and drug resistant pathogens are ominously on the rise. By way of one specific example, the global incidence of human tuberculosis (TB) disease—caused by infection with the pathogen Mycobacterium tuberculosis—is estimated to be ...
متن کاملMass Spectrometry-Based Bacterial Proteomics: Focus on Dermatologic Microbial Pathogens
The composition of human skin acts as a natural habitat for various bacterial species that function in a commensal and symbiotic fashion. In a healthy individual, bacterial flora serves to protect the host. Under certain conditions such as minor trauma, impaired host immunity, or environmental factors, the risk of developing skin infections is increased. Although a large majority of bacterial a...
متن کاملEvolution of Microbial Pathogens
The stated purpose of the second edition of Mycobacterium bovis Infection in Animals and Humans is to provide medical professionals, allied health scientists, research workers, and graduate students with current information on the significance of M. bovis in the control and eradication of tuberculosis in animals and humans. This newest edition deals with topics such as the public health signifi...
متن کاملInteractions with microbial pathogens.
A wide variety of bacterial pathogens, as well as several fungi, kill C. elegans or produce non-lethal disease symptoms. This allows the nematode to be used as a simple, tractable model host for infectious disease. Human pathogens that affect C. elegans include gram-negative bacteria of genera Burkholderia, Pseudomonas, Salmonella, Serratia and Yersinia; gram-positive bacteria Enterococcus, Sta...
متن کاملIngenious strategies of microbial pathogens
Silencing innate immunity During infection, microbes traverse or invade a variety of biological niches in which they are challenged by the innate immune responses of host cells. Katherine Owen (Casanova lab, University of Virginia, Charlottesville) showed that intracellular Salmonella escape autophagosomal degradation by activating mTOR through the FAK/ Akt kinase pathway. This process requires...
