Book excerpt: Excerpt from Vaccine and Serum Therapy, Including Also a Study of Infections, Theories of Immunity, Opsonins and Opsonic Index Besides conditions in the causal organism, certain conditions must exist in the host or body so that infection can occur. Cer tain animals are insusceptible to the action of certain Species of microorganism, thus for example, the horse and other domestic animals are naturally immune to venereal diseases. Again cer tain organisms can only produce disease when they are present in certain parts of the body and have entered the body by certain portals of entry. The spirillurn cholerae can only produce its typical form of disease when it has gained entrance through the small intestine. Invasion of the dermis or epidermis by-this or ganism produces no disease. The bacilli producing tuberculosis as well as certain other organisms, can cause infection when they have entered through the skin or through the mucous membrane. Certain organisms as Bact. Diphtheriae, B. Tuberculosis, and B. Typhosus, show predilections for certain tissues but will also pro duce diseased conditions in other parts of the body. In addition to the non - susceptibility of the host, the body possesses certain natural barriers to disease which must be over come before infections can be produced. The unbroken skin usually offers a barrier to infection. Age, sex, race, occupation, etc., at times account for certain resistance to invasions of organ isms. The resistance furthermore varies for the different organ isms, as is evidenced by the fact that for B. Tetanus a wound is necessary to produce lock-jaw, While for the glanders bacillus the slightest abrasion of the maccus membrane will furnish a focus for an infection. The body fiuids,1ymph glands, phagocytes, all offer resistance to infection. T hese barriers are overcome in various ways and under different conditions, so that while indi viduals may be immune at one time they may, at another time, be susceptible to the same infectious agent.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Vaccine and Serum Therapy, Including Also a Study of Infections, Theories of Immunity, Opsonins and Opsonic Index Treatment of individual diseases with medicines or by methods having a selective curative action has until recently been limited. With the establishment of the germ theory of certain diseases and the development of information concerning immunity, new methods of specific treatment were made possible and are now practiced under the name of serum and vaccine therapy. As might be expected, the medical profession has been much interested in these methods of treatment, and applied them whenever possible. The development of vaccine and serum therapy has been slow, the methods have had to be revised and in some cases the results obtained have been found to be otherwise than was at first expected. Because of this, much confusion has arisen. The practitioner has not been able to keep pace with the developments and literature on these subjects, and finally has been forced to depend on the statements and recommendations coming from serum and vaccine laboratories, enthusiasts and ever exploiters. In this work an attempt has been made to state concisely and accurately the present knowledge concerning vaccines and immune sera. An effort has been made to establish theoretical and experimental evidence as well as clinical application of the specific treatment of bacterial diseases. To accomplish this, some space is given to infections in general, the theories of immunity, with especial emphasis on the opsonic theory of immunity, as well as the particular methods of vaccine and serum therapy. Considerable space has been given to opsonins, the opsonic index and the importance of opsonins in health and disease. This has been done because since 1904 no subject has appeared more prominently or frequently in medical literature than that concerning opsonins, opsonic immunity, and bacterial vaccines. In the first presentations of discoveries on this form of immunity and specific treatment of bacterial diseases, great possibilities were promised. Methods, which would, according to Wright, give uniform success in treatment of the large class of bacterial infections and diseases, naturally received immediate and general attention by the medical world and were at once quite generally applied.

This book was released on 2011-12-30 with total page 570 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many potential applications of synthetic and systems biology are relevant to the challenges associated with the detection, surveillance, and responses to emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases. On March 14 and 15, 2011, the Institute of Medicine's (IOM's) Forum on Microbial Threats convened a public workshop in Washington, DC, to explore the current state of the science of synthetic biology, including its dependency on systems biology; discussed the different approaches that scientists are taking to engineer, or reengineer, biological systems; and discussed how the tools and approaches of synthetic and systems biology were being applied to mitigate the risks associated with emerging infectious diseases. The Science and Applications of Synthetic and Systems Biology is organized into sections as a topic-by-topic distillation of the presentations and discussions that took place at the workshop. Its purpose is to present information from relevant experience, to delineate a range of pivotal issues and their respective challenges, and to offer differing perspectives on the topic as discussed and described by the workshop participants. This report also includes a collection of individually authored papers and commentary.
