Helicobacter Pylori its pathogenicity, virulence and treatment

Image
   Characteristics of Helicobacter genus   i) These bacteria are classified as Gram-negative organisms. ii) They exhibit a helical, curved, or straight unbranched morphology. iii) Their distinctive mode of rapid motility is achieved through the presence of sheathed flagella, which can be located at either one or both ends of the cell. iv) these bacteria produce an external glycocalyx when cultured in liquid environments. v) Notably, their major fatty acid profiles do not contain hexadecanoic acids. vi) These bacteria exhibit optimal growth at 37°C, with varying growth rates observed between 30-42°C. vii) They are microaerophilic, indicating a preference for low oxygen levels in their environment. viii) These organisms are susceptible to several antibiotics, including penicillin, ampicillin, amoxicillin, erythromycin, gentamicin, kanamycin, rifampin, and tetracycline. However, they show resistance to nalidixic acid, cephalothin, metronidazole, and polymyxin. ix) The chromo...

The Gut-Brain Axis: Microbial Endocrinology

Image
Introduction  The gut-brain axis serves as a remarkable and intricate communication system, bridging the gap between our gastrointestinal tract and the central nervous system, influencing an array of physiological functions and our general state of health. In recent times, the field of microbial endocrinology has emerged as an avenue of exploration, shedding light on the intricate interplay between our gut microbiota and this axis, and its substantial impact on both our physical and mental well-being. Two decades ago, the concept of interkingdom signaling emerged, centered on the bidirectional neurochemical interactions between the host's neurophysiological system and the microbiome. This concept has been referred to as microbial endocrinology. Looking at the microbiome through the lens of microbial endocrinology offers insights into the precise mechanisms through which microorganisms can impact behavior, potentially paving the way for novel approaches to treating specific mental i...

foods that prevent us from cancer ,their mechanism and new researches

                      What Is Cancer? The typical regulation that the body applies to all cells. There are countless trillions of cells in our body, and each one has a particular purpose. It's a really intricate process that is kept under incredible control, but if something goes wrong and that control is lost, certain cells may escape the usual regulatory mechanisms and continue to develop and maybe spread. We refer to that as cancer. When those cells come together, we refer to that as a tumor. In particular, cancer is a malignant tumor, and we call it malignant because, regrettably, cancer can spread to other tissues, which can be fatal. It can even penetrate into other organs. Since the body contains cells all around, cancer can actually develop anyplace. Of course, breast cancer in women and prostate cancer in men rank among the most frequent cancers. Additionally, lung cancer and colon cancer are prevalent cancers in both men a...
