Host Factors in the Formation of Abscesses

Journal of Infectious Diseases, 1980
The role of host factors in the formation of subcutaneous abscesses due to Bacteroides fragilis or Staphylococcus aureus was investigated in athymic nude mice, mice deficient in the fifth component of complement (C5D), and mice pretreated with cobra venom factor (CVF). CVF-treated mice, inoculated with B.

Host Risk Factors for Tuberculosis

Infectious Disorders - Drug Targets
Tuberculosis (TB) spreads through droplets that contain Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) and can infect susceptible people. Due to different risk factors, people have different susceptibility ranges towards TB. The risk factors are classified into three main groups, including bacterial, environmental, and host factors.

Host Factors in Ebola Infection

Annual Review of Genomics and Human Genetics, 2016
Ebola virus (EBOV) emerged in West Africa in 2014 to devastating effect, and demonstrated that infection can cause a broad range of severe disease manifestations. As the virus itself was genetically similar to other Zaire ebolaviruses, the spectrum of pathology likely resulted from variable responses to infection in a large and genetically diverse ...

Host factors exploited by retroviruses

Nature Reviews Microbiology, 2007
Retroviruses make a long and complex journey from outside the cell to the nucleus in the early stages of infection, and then an equally long journey back out again in the late stages of infection. Ongoing efforts are identifying an enormous array of cellular proteins that are used by the viruses in the course of their travels.

Factors affecting host selection in an insect host–parasitoid interaction

Ecological Entomology, 1997
1. Many parasitoids can develop successfully in different stages of the same host but the costs of parasitism may vary between the stages. The stage of host attacked has generally been determined when there is no choice, giving a misleading impression of host selection or preference. 2. The rate of parasitism by a

Host factors in carcinoma of the uterine cervix

American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, 1959
Abstract Host factors, particularly endocrine, were investigated in 173 autopsied patients with cancer of the cervix, compared to 203 noncancerous women. More women of short stature were present in the cancer group. No significant increase of genital endocrine abnormalities accompanied cervical cancer. The endocrine and urinary tract alterations that

Colony-Stimulating Factors and Host Defense

Annals of Internal Medicine, 1989
Colony-stimulating factors are growth factors responsible for the proliferation and the maturation of bone marrow stem cells to fully differentiated granulocytes and monocytes. In addition to their effects on hematopoiesis, some colony-stimulating factors prime mature cells for enhanced chemotaxis, phagocytosis, and killing in response to physiologic ...

Surgical Site Infection: The Host Factor

AORN Journal, 2007
ABSTRACTMORE THAN 30 MILLION surgical procedures are performed annually in the United States, and surgical site infections (SSIs) remain a major postoperative complication.ALTHOUGH BACTERIA contaminate all surgical wounds, not all wounds become infected. In most cases, the host response eradicates the microbes. The patient's (ie, host's) responsiveness,

Host and bacterial factors in listeriosis pathogenesis

Veterinary Microbiology, 2006
Members of the Genus Listeria are ubiquitous environmental saprophytic microorganisms. If ingested they can cause a severe disseminated disease (listeriosis) that has a high mortality rate, the highest of any food-borne pathogen, even with antibiotic therapy. Central to the high mortality rate is the hallmark characteristic of the microorganism to grow

Host Factors in Tuberculosis

2019
Tuberculosis (TB) caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) continues to remain one of the most deadly infectious diseases worldwide especially in the developing countries. The lack of new drugs for TB, vaccine availability, with increasing global antimicrobial resistance, has prompted more research into defining host factors and developing ...
