A bacterium called P. gingivalis, which plays a role in the development of chronic periodontitis, has been found in the brains of people with Alzheimer’s disease. And people who are infected with P. gingivalis
This chapter describes the mechanisms by which a microbe causes disease. Many microbes release substances into the body as they multiply. Some of these substances are formed as part of the microbe's strategy, because they interfere with host defenses. These substances are called toxins and they ...
Yet, when successful, these experiments are surprisingly efficient, at least from the perspective of the microbe, yet manageable, from the standpoint of the host. Some infectious diseases occur predominantly in dramatic epidemic form, which argues against the establishment of a balanced host-parasite ...
Q.4. Which microbes are used in medicine?Ans: Streptomyces, which belongs to actinomycetes, produces several antibiotics like streptomycin, chloramphenicol/chloromycetin, tetracycline, terramycin, and erythromycin.Q.5. How do microbes affect human health? Ans: Different types of diseases are caused due...
Microbes are a vital component of fertile soil. In the human body, microorganisms make up the human microbiota, including the essential gut flora. The pathogens responsible for many infectious diseases are microbes and, as such, are the target of hygiene measures. ...
Antifungal DrugsAre Used To Treat Fungal Diseases. Depending On The Nature Of The Infection, A Topical Or Systemic Agent May Be Used. Example Of Antifungals Include: Fluconazole Which Is The Basis Of Many Over-The-Counter Antifungal Treatments. Another Example of Amphotericin B Which Is More Pote...
(called bioelectric medicine) to treat inflammatory diseases, a strategy which has been reviewed comprehensively elsewhere.45,115In the coming years, we expect to see many more examples of bioelectronic medicine and neuromodulating drugs as promising therapeutic strategies in the intestine to ameliorate...
8/14/2014 - Males and females are different in many ways, one of which is their gut flora. Recent research has illustrated that even when the diets are the same, the gut microbes of men and women will react differently. This is significant, because it points to the fact that we need ...
This review focuses on the human gut microbiota, which is an emerging focus of microbiological research. This review synthesizes recent advances in exploring the fundamentals and multiple functions of the human gut microbiota and its associations with human health and diseases as well as microbiota-...
The epithelial cells that form the lining of the gut have fingerlike projections called villi, which increase the surface area for transporting nutrients into the body. When the gut is inflamed, as is often the case with microbial dysbiosis, these villi can become truncated, resulting in impaired...
