Introduction

[Micro-biology Scholar]

My passion is Indubitable.

[Micro-biology Scholar]

As I sit in my office harassing my recommendation to compose a composition on how bacteria sticks to the bodies many surfaces ,with a dreary(uninterested) glare. It came to my attention, that Hypography would be a perfect place to articulate my thoughts.

 

To establish residence on or in the human body, bacteria must be able to adhere to external or internal body surfaces. Adherence to surfaces is important in colonization by both flora and pathogenic invaders.

 

.......

 

Without such attachments, bacteria could easily be washed away faster than they could multiply-particularly from surfaces such as those lining the mouth, upper intestinal tract, and urinary tract.

 

Well, I am sure I will only cause many to fall asleep, if I continue.

Wake up! Wake up! What about bacteria adhereing via electrostatic charge rather than mechanically? :) :cup:

[Micro-biology Scholar]

A variety of structures on bacterial cell surfaces aid adherence. These structures include capsules composed of polysaccharides and polypeptides, pili, and other, much finer filaments extending outward from the surface. In addition to general "stickiness," structures like these often have the ability to

bind to specific receptors on the surfaces of host cells.

That's interesting, (about the receptors). Do you feel that it's supportive of the theory of endosymbiosis?

Well what you speak of is Darwin's balance of positive "variation" and negative "selection." All in all, evolution.

 

Absolutely.

[Micro-biology Scholar]

I gave it more thought and came to the conclusion,

 

Within a host, the presence of receptors on cells of some tissues and not on others helps account for the selective colonization of certain parts of the body by certain bacteria.

For example, streptococcus adhere better to the lining of the mouth than to the intestinal tract, whereas Escherichia coli perfer the intestinal lining.

I had in mind bacteria that are beneficial to the host.

My assertion remains the same no matter the approach.

[ughaibu]

Okay, though your assertion seems rather oblique, evolution and endosymbiosis not being antagonistic concepts.

Endosymbiosis is part of the theory of evolution-This is clearly stated not only in my text, but in the text of many biologists.

Lets further break this down,

 

With helpful bacteria.

 

Mechanisms that block adherence of bacteria to surfaces can help the host resist colonization by invading pathogenic bacteria.If a host produces specific antibodies that bind to the bacterial surface or secretes other substances that nonspecifically cover host cell receptors, the bacteria may be unable to adhere. Thus, they may not be able to accumulate in large enough numbers to cause disease.

I have devoted a majority of my hypography life to reading introductions and I must admit, I am dissapointed, for you have refrained from introducing yourself.
