How does Mycobacterium tuberculosis reproduce?Mycobacterium TuberculosisWhen Mycobacterium tuberculosis enters the body of the host, there is an exertion of both adaptive and innate immune functions to fight against this bacterial infection. The cells of the innate immune respond rapidly through immediate ...
Intracellular pathogens achieve invasion by entering the host’s cells and reproducing. Some areobligate intracellular pathogens(meaning they can only reproduce inside of host cells) and others arefacultative intracellular pathogens(meaning they can reproduce either inside or outside of host cells). By ...
How do RNA viruses replicate? RNA Viruses: RNA viruses are the type of pathogens that contains Ribonucleic acid as genetic material. The genetic material serves as a core protein for these pathogens through which they can replicate. For example, HIV is a type of RNA virus. ...
The process of transporting bees over long distances in order to pollinate crops may cause stress, depress the bees' immune system, expose them to additional pathogens or affect their navigational abilities. Mites that generally feed on bees, such as the varroa and tracheal mites, may be exposing...
Antimicrobial resistance also occurs over time by new genetic mutation or by horizontal gene transfer. Genetic mutation occurs when bacterial DNA changes, or mutates, to help the bacteria and fungi survive antimicrobial treatment. When mutated pathogens reproduce and outlive the original bacteria, AMR ...
In contrast, Eubacteria, or "true bacteria," are more recent in origin and include pathogens. The broad Eukarya domain encompasses organisms with nuclei and further divides into kingdoms like Protista, Fungi, Plantae and Animalia. Some eukaryotes — organisms that contain a true nucleus and ...
But the target of my analysis here is another family of this group (airborne), also zoonotic pathogens, classified as the ‘corona’ family, which include the now very well-known viruses causing SARS (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome) and MERS (Middle East Respiratory Syndrome) – both resultin...
Transposonsare molecules of DNA with inverted repeats at their ends that also encode the enzyme transposase, allowing for their movement from one location in DNA to another. Although found in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes, transposons are clinically relevant in bacterial pathogens for the movement of...
Spider mitesare microscopic arachnids that are also partial to shrub sap. They often cause stippling, discoloration, or bronzing of the foliage. They produce fine webbing on the undersides of leaves, where they reproduce rapidly in hot, dry conditions. Heavy infestations will weaken and strip your...
How do inhibitory neurotransmitters work? Can a simple stain accurately display all desired parts of a known Gram-positive bacteria? How do mucous membranes help fight pathogens? How does cell signaling work for production of antibodies? How do prokaryotic cells reproduce?
