Molecular mechanisms of Host-Vibrio cholerae interaction
ISBN-13: 9783659261664 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 308 str.
Cholera remains a devastating bacterial cause of human morbidity and mortality in developing countries. The diseases is produced by a gram-negative, motile Vibrio cholerae that colonizes in the human intestine and secretes a potent cholera toxin, which ultimately stimulates cellular adenylate cyclase to cause massive intestinal fluid loss leading to profuse watery diarrhea. Live-attenuated V. cholerae vaccines harboring deletions of cholera toxin have great promise for reducing the global burden of cholera. However, development of live vaccines has been hampered by the tendency of such strains to induce reactogenic diarrhea in human subjects. The molecular bases of reactogenicity are unknown. In this dissertation, we have illustrated the molecular mechanisms of host-V. cholerae interaction as well reactogenic mechanism of V. cholerae vaccines. The basic concepts of host-pathogen interaction provide new avenues for translational approach to develop the efficient human vaccine and novel therapeutics.
