How bacteria resist attack

Written by

The bacterium Pseudomonas aeruginosa can ‘’switch on” production of molecules that kill white blood cells – preventing the bacteria being eliminated by the body’’s immune system, say researchers the University of Copenhagen and the Technical University of Denmark. P. aeruginosa is responsible for many hospital-acquired infections and also causes chronic infections in those with pre-existing medical conditions such as cystic fibrosis (CF). The bacteria cause persistent lung infections by clumping together to form a biofilm, which spreads over the lungs like a slime and are generally resistant to antibiotics as well as the host immune response. It was found that P. aeruginosa uses a ... Read Full Story

Prokaryotes Can Do Geometry, and Even Have Their Own Protractor

Despite what once was a popular opinion, bacterial cells are not mere sacks of enzymes. Rather, we are discovering that they are highly structured. (Although, this probably should have been expected) Bacterial cells have to know where their poles are located in order to create such structures as E . coli’s chemotactic nose , Caulobacter’s stalk , and polar flagella. Cells must also be able to recognize where their midpoints are located in order to divide or differentiate properly. Furthermore, we are finding that the bacterial chromosome has a distinct physical arrangement, which can ultimately determine gene expression. In order to attain such organization, ...
