Intracellular bacteria survive and multiply within host cells, adapting to adverse microenvironments and developing mechanisms to evade the immune system. Conventional antimicrobial materials often ...

Molecular mechanism for a bacterial infection discovered Date: September 20, 2024 Source: Virginia Tech Summary: Scientists have discovered the mechanism by which the bacterial pathogen Shigella ...

(1) However, since many bacteria have evolved mechanisms to escape or suppress the host immune responses either extracellularly or intracellularly, (2,3) any adjuvant therapy should ideally enhance ...

The battle between the human immune system and intracellular bacteria is a complex and fascinating dance of survival and destruction. Innate immunity, the body’s first line of defense against invading ...

China Many microbial pathogens have evolved a range of capabilities to evade host immune defense mechanisms and to survive and multiply in host cells. The presence of host intracellular bacteria makes ...

The study results showed that intracellular bacteria act to reorganize the actin cytoskeleton in circulating tumor cells (CTCs), and this promotes CTC survival by enhancing resistance to ...

Researchers from the Institut Pasteur, the CNRS, the University of Paris have discovered a mechanism that allows ... head of the unit Biology of the Intracellular Bacteria at the Institut Pasteur ...
