Plant Products as Antimicrobial AgentsClinical Microbiology Reviews - Tập 12 Số 4 - Trang 564-582 - 1999
M. M. Cowan
SUMMARY
The use of and search for drugs and dietary supplements derived from plants have accelerated in recent years. Ethnopharmacologists, botanists, microbiologists, and natural-products chemists are combing the Earth for phytochemicals and “leads” which could be developed for treatment of infectious diseases. While 25 to 50% of...... hiện toàn bộ
Innate Immunity toAspergillusSpeciesClinical Microbiology Reviews - Tập 22 Số 4 - Trang 535-551 - 2009
Stacy J. Park, Borna Mehrad
SUMMARYAll humans are continuously exposed to inhaledAspergillusconidia, yet healthy hosts clear the organism without developing disease and without the development of antibody- or cell-mediated acquired immunity to this organism. This suggests that for most healthy humans, innate immunity is sufficient to clear the organism. A ...... hiện toàn bộ
Pathogen Recognition and Inflammatory Signaling in Innate Immune DefensesClinical Microbiology Reviews - Tập 22 Số 2 - Trang 240-273 - 2009
Trine H. Mogensen
SUMMARYThe innate immune system constitutes the first line of defense against invading microbial pathogens and relies on a large family of pattern recognition receptors (PRRs), which detect distinct evolutionarily conserved structures on pathogens, termed pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs). Among the PRRs, the Toll-like receptors have been stu...... hiện toàn bộ
Wound Microbiology and Associated Approaches to Wound ManagementClinical Microbiology Reviews - Tập 14 Số 2 - Trang 244-269 - 2001
Philip G. Bowler, B. I. Duerden, David G. Armstrong
SUMMARYThe majority of dermal wounds are colonized with aerobic and anaerobic microorganisms that originate predominantly from mucosal surfaces such as those of the oral cavity and gut. The role and significance of microorganisms in wound healing has been debated for many years. While some experts consider the microbial density to be critical in predictin...... hiện toàn bộ
