Substrate grain structure and topography play major roles in mediating cell and bacteria activities. Severe plastic deformation techniques, known as efficient metal-forming and grain refining processes, provide the treated material with novel mechanical properties and can be adopted to modify nanoscale surface characteristics, possibly affecting interactions…
Introduction [edit] Microorganisms or microbes are tiny living things that are found all around us. They are usually too small to be seen with the naked wilie eye. Three of the main groups of microorganisms are: Bacteria [edit] Electron micrograph of H. pylori possessing multiple flagella (negative staining) Bacteria (singular: bacterium) are a large group of…
Microbes such as bacteria and fungi, are very tiny organisms found in just about every ecosystem or elsewhere in the world and can associate with other diverse types of living things. They may be harmless passengers in humans and can even participate in biological processes. However, they can also cause injury and interfere with your body functions to the point…
More About Intracellular Infection By Salmonella There are many strains of Salmonella; nearly all are potentially pathogenic. The most severe illness caused by a Salmonella strain is typhoid fever, which is caused by S. typhi. Less severe forms of gastrointestinal illnesses, such as diarrhea, are caused by many other Salmonella strains and are collectively known…
Any part of the human body that is open to the outside world it available for the colonisation of bacteria. While this blog has covered bacteria in the and the throat, one area I ve neglected to cover is the bacteria that get into the lungs. As the company I currently work for is involved in respiratory research I was rather excited to find a PLoS One paper that…

For example, the poly-D-glutamate capsule of Bacillus anthracis…
