Bacterial Infections in Cirrhosis [PDF]
Canadian Journal of Gastroenterology, 2004 Hospitalized patients with cirrhosis are at increased risk of developing bacterial infections, the most common being spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP) and urinary tract infections. Independent predictors of the development of bacterial infections in hospitalized cirrhotic patients are poor liver synthetic function and admission for ...

Brain Pathology, 1997 The organisms that produce bacterial infections of the nervous system in tropical regions are similar to those existing in the rest of the world. However, because of poor socio‐economic conditions in the former areas, preventing the implementation of appropriate prophylactic and therapeutic measures, the incidence and course of these diseases may vary ...

Epigenetics and Bacterial Infections [PDF]
Cold Spring Harbor Perspectives in Medicine, 2012 Epigenetic mechanisms regulate expression of the genome to generate various cell types during development or orchestrate cellular responses to external stimuli. Recent studies highlight that bacteria can affect the chromatin structure and transcriptional program of host cells by influencing diverse epigenetic factors (i.e., histone modifications, DNA ...

Septins and Bacterial Infection [PDF]
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2016 Septins, a unique cytoskeletal component associated with cellular membranes, are increasingly recognized as having important roles in host defense against bacterial infection. A role for septins during invasion of Listeria monocytogenes into host cells was first proposed in 2002.

Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - General Subjects, 2015 FK506-binding proteins (FKBPs) contain a domain with peptidyl-prolyl-cis/trans-isomerase (PPIase) activity and bind the immunosuppressive drugs FK506 and rapamycin. FKBPs belong to the immunophilin family and are found in eukaryotes and bacteria.In this review we describe two major groups of bacterial virulence-associated FKBPs, the trigger factor and ...
