Is Immune System Reacts to Junk Food

The immune system will react similarly to both high fat and high calorie diet as to a bacterial infection. Unhealthy food will make the body's defence more aggressive in the long-term use. Even after switching to a healthy diet, inflammation towards the innate immune stimulation is more pronounced. These long-term changes may be involved in the development of arteriosclerosis and diabetes. Even long after switching to a healthy diet, inflammation towards innate immune stimulation is more pronounced.
                      



The latest research on immune system
Scientists placed mice for testing a month with high in fat, high in sugar, and low in fibre. These animals consequently developed a strong inflammatory response throughout the body, almost like after infection with dangerous bacteria. This shows an indication for an involvement of immune cell progenitors in the bone marrow." 

"Fast food sensor" in the immune cells
It has recently been discovered that the innate immune system has a form of memory. After an infection, the body's defence remain in a kind of alarm state, so that they can respond more quickly to a new attack. In the mice, this process was not triggered by a bacterium, but by an unhealthy diet. The scientists able to recognise the accountable "fast food sensor" in immune cells. They studied blood cells from 120 subjects. In these subjects, the researchers found genetic sign of the involvement of a so-called inflammasome. Inflammasomes are key intracellular signalling complexes that recognize infectious agents and other harmful substances and subsequently release highly inflammatory messengers.

Neisseria gonorrhoeae: Combating a Multidrug-Resistant Organism

Neisseria gonorrhoeae: Combating a Multidrug-Resistant Organism: The worldwide spread of anti-toxin resistant sexually transmitted diseases (STD) has received increased consideration in the course of recent years from health institutes including the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). In this post we will give a background marked by multidrug-safe Neisseria gonorrhoeae taken after by a depiction of the test techniques clinical labs are utilizing to decide the antimicrobial susceptibilities of N. gonorrhoeae isolates. About Gonorrhea Gonorrhea is a worldwide widespread disease caused by N. gonorrhoeae, a Gram-negative bacterium. As per CDC, roughly 470,000 new gonorrheal diseases were accounted for. Notwithstanding, on the grounds that numerous cases are asymptomatic, and consequently unreported, it is evaluated that there are roughly 820,000 new cases every year. Furthermore, it is assessed that 246,000 of these cases conv

The antibiotic that is active against drug-resistant tuberculosis:

The antibiotic that is active against drug-resistant tuberculosis:  A naturally occurring antibiotic called kanglemycin A is effective against Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the bacteria that cause tuberculosis, even in drug-resistant strains, according to an international team of researchers who used chemistry, molecular biology, microbiology, and X-ray crystallography to show how the compound maintains its activity.  The compound, kanglemycin A, is related to the antibiotic rifampicin, according to Katsuhiko Murakami, professor of biochemistry and molecular biology at Penn State and one of leaders of the project. "Rifampicin is already part of the cocktail of antibiotics used to treat tuberculosis, but many strains of the tuberculosis-causing bacteria have developed resistance to it," Murakami said. "Tuberculosis is the leading cause of death by infectious disease worldwide," said Murakami. "Development of rifampicin resistance in M. tuberculosis has m

How one bacterium inhibits predators with poison:

How one bacterium inhibits predators with poison: Microbiologists in South Korea report that the bacterium Chromobacterium piscinae produce cyanide when under attack from Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus HD100, a microbial predator found in streams and soils that ingests its prey from the top to bottom. Scientists found that the prey delivered levels of cyanide sufficiently high to hinder, but not kill, the B. bacteriovorus HD100. Examinations demonstrated that C. piscinae secrete the defensive cyanide in a nutrient-rich broth. In a medium without supplements, it didn't secrete the cyanide and was consumed. The scientists suspect that the microorganisms likely uses some ingredients in the broth to secrete the cyanide. That perception suggests that microscopic organisms' defenses may depend on location-- and, more generally, that microorganism may harbor defensive components that are activated in a suitable environment, but not in others. To test whether cyanide alone was d
