Bacterial Immunity and Host Defense
001 Abstract Microbes are the key players for deteriorating the host defense. They enter inside the host system, colonize the host cells, evade the host immunity and ultimately leads to tissue injury and ultimately disease. But the body cells are having strong immune system to combat with these aliens. There are two basic types of immune responses in body for bacterial degradation. Immune respo...
متن کاملSequential Immune Responses: The Weapons of Immunity.
Sequential immune responses (SIR) is a new model that describes what 'immunity' means in higher animals. Existing models, such as self/nonself discrimination or danger, focus on how immune responses are initiated. However, initiation is not protection. SIR describes the actual immune responses that provide protection. SIR resulted from a comprehensive analysis of the evolution of immune systems...

متن کاملBacterial Toxins as Pathogen Weapons Against Phagocytes
Bacterial toxins are virulence factors that manipulate host cell functions and take over the control of vital processes of living organisms to favor microbial infection. Some toxins directly target innate immune cells, thereby annihilating a major branch of the host immune response. In this review we will focus on bacterial toxins that act from the extracellular milieu and hinder the function o...
متن کاملTemperate Bacterial Viruses as Double-Edged Swords in Bacterial Warfare
It has been argued that bacterial cells may use their temperate viruses as biological weapons. For instance, a few bacterial cells among a population of lysogenic cells could release the virus and kill susceptible non-lysogenic competitors, while their clone mates would be immune. Because viruses replicate inside their victims upon infection, this process would amplify their number in the arena...
