Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: «El peligro que tienen las enfermedades infecciosas no se ha ido. Está empeorando. Aunque no sabemos dónde aparecerá el nuevo virus o la nueva bacteria, es seguro que habrá nuevos brotes». Robert Shope, epidemiólogo De la mano del autor de Superbacterias emprendemos un colosal viaje a la historia de la lucha contra el mayor enemigo de la humanidad: las bacterias patógenas. Las bacterias estaban aquí mucho antes de que los seres humanos poblaran la Tierra, y seguirán con sus minúsculos asuntos cuando nos hayamos extinguido. Desde hace más de 10.000 años, muchos de estos microorganismos han castigado a nuestra especie con un sin fin de enfermedades infecciosas —peste, sífilis, lepra, tifus, cólera, tuberculosis...—, que en algunos casos diezmaron seriamente las sociedades que construimos. Hemos intentado combatirlas de la mejor manera que sabíamos; pero la Microbiología no vino al rescate de la humanidad hasta bien entrado el siglo xix; así que hemos pasado en torno al 99% de nuestro tiempo sobre el planeta combatiendo con magia algo que no veíamos, un enemigo invisible y ponzoñoso que nos hacía enfermar. Afortunadamente, el conocimiento humano que llegó de la mano de brillantes colosos como van Leeuwenhoek, Snow, Pasteur, Metchnikoff, Lister, Koch o Fleming, permitió el esclarecimiento de uno de los misterios que había atemorizado a la humanidad desde sus orígenes. ¿Quién era el asesino silencioso que aniquilaba a mujeres, hombres y niños de todas las razas y religiones? Prepárese a conocer, de la forma más bella y sugerente posible, la historia de cómo nos hemos enfrentado —en una lucha atroz y desigual— contra las bacterias patógenas. «La humanidad está impotente contra un enemigo desconocido e invisible». Louis Pasteur, 1880 «Los humanos viven en un mar de microbios. Algunos están alrededor y otros incluso dentro de nosotros». Louis-Félix-Achille Kelsch (1841-1911)

Download or read book Brief History Of Bacteria A The Everlasting Game Between Humans And Bacteria written by Daijie Chen and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2017-12-08 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explains how pathogenic bacteria cause diseases, how the human immune system launches timely and effective defense mechanisms against bacterial infection, why the discovery and application of penicillin and streptomycin are so important, how scientists have created medicines to defeat bacteria, and why these bacteria might outsmart modern medicine.On the other hand, bacteria can be beneficial to humans: some bacteria live in harmony with the human body, and they are indispensable to our health. They also help in refining biological energy in the post-fossil fuel era, and in producing fermented food.With accessible language, illustrations and comics, this book tells the story of our tumultuous relationship with bacteria and how it has shaped history.

Download or read book Gram Positive Pathogens written by Vincent A. Fischetti and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2019-10-01 with total page 2803 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gram-positive bacteria, lacking an outer membrane and related secretory systems and having a thick peptidoglycan, have developed novel approaches to pathogenesis by acquiring (among others) a unique family of surface proteins, toxins, enzymes, and prophages. For the new edition, the editors have enhanced this fully researched compendium of Gram-positive bacterial pathogens by including new data generated using genomic sequencing as well as the latest knowledge on Gram-positive structure and mechanisms of antibiotic resistance and theories on the mechanisms of Gram-positive bacterial pathogenicity. This edition emphasizes streptococci, staphylococci, listeria, and spore-forming pathogens, with chapters written by many of the leading researchers in these areas. The chapters systematically dissect these organisms biologically, genetically, and immunologically, in an attempt to understand the strategies used by these bacteria to cause human disease. “This textbook comprises a superb collection of scientific knowledge making it a must-read for any graduate student, medical doctor, or investigator studying these gram-positive bacteria and inspiring future imaginations of biological knowledge.” - William R. Jacobs, Jr., PhD, Professor Microbiology & Immunology, Albert Einstein College of Medicine

Book excerpt: The reviews in this volume deal with questions of the mechanisms of pathogenesis and with organisms that have only recently been extensively studied on the molecular level.**The introductory section presents an overview of pathogenesis, emphasizing common elements and genetic mechanisms of regulation and a review on the population genetics of bacterial pathogenesis. The second section deals with the regulation of synthesis of surface components and their role in the colonization of the host and/or of the host immune systems. The third section covers the invasion and intracellular growth of facultative and obligate intracellular parasites. The last section is devoted to studies of the role of bacterial toxic products in pathogenesis.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pathogenic bacteria are the main problem in hospital- and community-acquired infections. As bacteria continue to develop more resistance to antibiotics, it is imperative to develop antibacterial treatment strategies. Written by experts from all over the world, this book examines pathogenic bacteria and their link to multidrug resistance. Over thirteen chapters, it presents examples of pathogenesis, virulence factors, and treatment strategies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ability of pathogenic bacteria to adapt to various chemical, biochemical and physical conditions within the human host and their ability to respond to stresses generated in these environments is a central feature of infectious diseases and the outcome of bacterial infection. This book covers the key aspects of this rapidly developing field, including the generation of stresses by the host immune system, bacterial response to reactive chemicals, and adaptation to environmental conditions of anatomical niches such as the gut, mouth and urogenital tract. It also addresses the increasing impor.

Download or read book Bacterial Type III Protein Secretion Systems written by Samuel Wagner and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-08-14 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the most exciting developments in the field of bacterial pathogenesis in recent years is the discovery that many pathogens utilize complex nanomachines to deliver bacterially encoded effector proteins into eukaryotic and prokaryotic target cells to modulate a variety of cellular functions for the pathogen’s benefit. These protein-delivery machines include the type III secretion system (T3SS), which is widespread in nature and encoded not only by bacteria pathogenic to vertebrates or plants, but also by bacteria that are symbiotic to plants or insects. Because they are essential virulence factors for many important human pathogens, these systems are emerging as a prime target for the development of new-generation, anti-infective drugs. This book reviews our current understanding of these intriguing injection machines as well as of the closely related T3SS that serves in flagella assembly. Individual chapters focus on regulation, assembly, structure, and function of the type III secretion machine and on the evolution of the secreted effector proteins. Given its scope, this book will appeal to a broad readership, including researchers and teachers in the fields of infectious diseases, host pathogen interactions, plant and animal pathogenesis, and symbiosis.
