There has recently been an outbreak of a new disease in South America known as Ashella schmiddy. Recent studies that have been released have shown that A. schmiddy is a highly infectious flesh eating bacterium. A. schmiddy is a Gram Negative(-) bacillus, and it’s preferred portal of entry is the skin. It has been proven that once the bacteria is introduced to even the smallest cut or abrasion on the skin, infection quickly follows. One thing that makes this new disease so worry-some is the number of invading microbes that it takes to infect 50% of the population, which is only 15-45 cells, which is an extremely low dosage. Once A. schmiddy is introduced to the cut, fimbriae on the surface of the cell membrane attaches to human tissue cells …show more content…
Inflammation is the main type of innate immunity our body uses against A. schmiddy. Inflammation begins by activating acute-phase proteins, and soon after vasodilation occurs, followed by redness, swelling, pain, and heat. Once vasodilation occurs, histamine and kinins are released and blood vessels permeability is increased, causing white blood cells to report to the infected area. One problem associated with inflammation is that the capsule of A. schmiddy is an important virulence factor, which helps the bacteria to resists phagocytosis. Because the phagocytes cannot destroy the bacteria cells, infection further continues and necrotic tissue forms. Once innate immunity has seemed to fail, adaptive immunity sets in. Adaptive immunity is the body’s defense against a specific pathogen. One protein that A. schmiddy has is known as the Opa protein which, in short, inhibits the T Helper cells. Opa proteins inhibits T Helper cells (CD4+ cells) so antigens presented on MCHII is not recognized so B cells are not activated and cytokines are not released. Therefore, TH1, TH2, and TH17 are not activated, resulting in macrophages, mast cells, eosinophils, basophils, and neutrophils not being recruited. Since Helper T cells are one of the most important cells in our body’s immune response, without them our body cannot defend itself against many pathogens (Alberts
On February 15, 1912, during the same week in which Edith Elmira Sigler was born in Shelby County, Center Texas, a sister town published the Lubbock avalanche. The U.S postal workers are compared to other mail service workers on how much they make. Lubbock acalanche reminded their followers of the upcoming State Primary that was held on July 27th 1912. Edith Sigler was probably use to seeing the Republicans and the Deomocrats who worked together to fight socaialism. The town of Lubbock was dignosed with “improvemetngitis”.
Researchers have also been trying to figure out how these microorganisms survive in the human body. To fight harmful bacteria, the immune system creates T cells. The body also creates regulatory T cells, which prevent the T cells from attack the body’s own cells. A bacteria called Bacteroides Fragilis helps to boost the production of regulatory T cells. In the 1990s, scientists found that one of the sugar molecules on the surface of B. Fragilis, called polysaccharide A, signals the immune system to create regulatory T cells.

Isabelle Wolfe Baruch Isabelle Wolfe, born 4 Mar 1850 in Winnsboro, Fairfield, South Carolina, the daughter of Sailing Wolfe, a young merchant and planter of Winnsboro, and Sara Cohen, daughter of Rabbi Hartwig Cohen of Charleston. Isabelle, known as “Belle” married Simon Baruch who had immigrated from Schwersenz, near Poland, in East Prussia, to Camden, South Carolina in 1855 to avoid Prussian conscription. At the time he immigrated to America, Simon was fifteen years old and the only person he knew in America when he arrived was a man by the name of Mannes Baum. Mr. Baum was the owner of a general store in Camden, SC and was married to an aunt of Baruch’s mother.
Without them we wouldn’t have the knowledge of bacterial infections we do now. It’s a great
The Pathogen: Staphylococcus aureus is a gram-positive coccal bacterium that is known to not always be pathogenic. It is a member of the Firmicutes phylum, the Eubacteria kingdom, and the Bacteria domain. (Wikipedia, 2015) The bacterium can be described as looking like a bunch of grapes or small berries,

Necrotizing fasciitis often occurs after a minor trauma, such as scratching, rash, small cut, routine blood draw etc. causing bacteria to enter the blood stream. Flesh eating bacteria
District Common Assessment Essay Ashleighs relationship with her dad is very great. The two are very close to each other. On the other hand, though, Ashleighs relationship with her mom is not so great, and this is exactly why Ashleigh will take the money from her mother's emergency pot and give it to her dad. There are other reasons that Ashleigh will do this too, including the fact that her dad has always been the nice parent, while her mother has always been the more stern parent. Ashleigh also knows that her dad is poor and needs the money.
Gram-negative bacteria contain a layer of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) When the bacteria enters the body, the LPS triggers the body’s immune response. The body recognises a cytokine reaction from the bacteria which is toxic to the body and responds by inflaming the tissues and blood vessels. The certain cells used against the bacteria Bordetella Pertussis include innate and specific defenses, but the defensive antigens have not been exclusively identified. Explain how the disease can be treated.
Nevertheless, this chapter did an exceptional job of explaining the function of the immune system as well as the effect of HIV on the immune system. The immune system has two main functions; to limit the amount of virus made then to clear the virus from the host. This process starts with the crucial ability to discriminate between foreign antigens and the body’s own proteins which is allows the immune system to only attack the virus that has infected the body. Initially upon infection, the immune system responds quickly in ways nonspecific to the particular virus at hand, employing natural killer lymphoid cells and phagocytic macrophages to surround then engulf the virus as well as proteins called complement factors that
My trainer, Ashleigh Bowman, inspires me as a rider and as a person every day. Ashleigh is truly a great person overall and inspires me to never give up. Ashleigh also inspires me because she helps me reach my goals by making me a better rider every time I ride. Ashleigh also tells us stories on the way to horse shows about showing when she was our age and the adventures with it, which also shows me that she has experienced all of this too. Overall, Ashleigh Bowman is a great person and inspires me in multiple ways.
Most of all it is what Evanna Lynch does with her fame that merits my attention. Most prominently she promotes healthy self esteem and body image in young girls, attributed to her own previous struggles with the disorder Anorexia Nervosa. A struggle I also mentioned previously which struck a chord in me because while I do not struggle with such a disorder, I do have a good friend who suffers from something similar, and I know how it can affect people. Lynch, however, doesn’t stop there, also working with a host of charities, including The Multiple Sclerosis Society of Ireland, where she launched a fundraiser called MS Readathon in 2010. The Harry Potter Alliance(HPA), where she is supporting same-sex marriage, taking part in webcast fundraisers,
In an immunologically naïve host, viruses attach to the host cells (Tortora, & Funke, 2013). Adaptive immunity is slower to respond than innate immunity it does have a memory component is a function of the immunological system. The immunological system is able to recognize specific antigens and react in such a way that the host generates antibody-mediated immunity (AMI), cell-mediated immunity (CMI), or both. Adaptive immunity is the body’s third line of defense. An example is lymphocytes (T cells and B cells).
