<p>Microbiology research encompasses the study of all microscopic entities including unicellular and multicellular life forms, and non-cellular or acellular particles. When microbes form symbiotic relationships with hosts, either both species benefit from the host-microbe interaction, classified as mutualism, or is described as commensalism where only one species benefits. Conversely in parasitism one species, the parasite, benefits at the expense of the other, the host, often resulting in an infection and/or disease.</p> <p> </p> <table width="650px" align="center" cellpadding="6" cellspacing="6"> <tr align="center" bgcolor="#005F9E"> <td align="center" colspan="2"><span style="color: #FFFFFF; font-weight: bold;">Unicellular</span></td> </tr> <tr valign="top" align="center"> <td ><p><img src="https://images.novusbio.com/design/nb-microbiology-bacteria-300px.jpg" alt="Single celled organisms that lack membrane-bound organelles; with pathogenic bacteria causing infections and disease" title="Bacteria or Prokaryotic Microorganisms"><br/> <a href="/research-areas/bacterial-pathogens"><strong>Bacteria</strong></a>- Prokaryotic unicellular forms are defined by their lack of organized membrane-enclosed DNA or nuclei and organelles.</p> </td> <td><p><img src="https://images.novusbio.com/design/nb-microbiology-protozoa-300px.jpg" alt="Types of Protozoa including amoebas are either free living or can cause disease" title="Protozoans, Single-celled Eukaryotes"><br/> <strong>Protozoa</strong>- Eukaryotic unicellular organisms include free living and parasitic forms.</p> </td> </tr> <tr align="center" bgcolor="#005F9E"> <td align="center"><span style="color: #FFFFFF; font-weight: bold;">Unicellular or Multicellular</span></td> <td align="center"><span style="color: #FFFFFF; font-weight: bold;">Acellular</span></td> </tr> <tr align="center" valign="top"> <td><p><img src="https://images.novusbio.com/design/nb-microbiology-fungi-300px.jpg" alt="Eukaryotic microorganisms that include yeast and molds.

Microbiology as an area of research is closely intertwined with <a href="/research-areas/immunology/infections-virus-bacteria-and-parasites">immunology</a>, particularly in the study of host-pathogen interactions in infectious diseases. Microbial pathogen structures commonly referred to as pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) are first recognized by cells of the <a href="/research-areas/immunology/innate-immunity">innate immune system</a> through a broad range of <a href="/research-areas/immunology/toll-receptors-tlr">pattern recognition receptors</a> (PRRs).</p> <br/> <p align="center"> <a href="/antibody-news/pamps-and-damps-what-is-the-same-and-what-is-different-about-these-molecules" class="link_button">Learn About PAMPs and DAMPs</a> </p> <br/> <h2>Microbial Virulence </h2> <p>Microbial pathogens induce tissue damage by their unique invasive phenotypes and virulence factors. <strong>Bacteria</strong> produce endotoxins (e.g., lipopolysaccharide or <a href="/search?keywords=Lipopolysaccharide&species=Bacteria">LPS</a>) and exotoxins (e.g., <a href="/search?keywords=Clostridium+botulinum">Botulinum toxin</a> and <a href="/search?keywords=Clostridium+Difficile+Toxin+"><em>Clostridium difficile</em> toxin A and B</a>). LPS is a predominant component of the Gram-negative bacterial outer membrane containing a toxic lipid component, Lipid A, which triggers a generalized inflammatory response. In contrast, exotoxins are proteins produced predominantly by Gram-positive bacteria that act upon specific cellular receptors leading to cell damage. </p> <br/> <table cellpadding="6" cellspacing="6"> <tr> <td width="30%"> <p align="right"><img src="https://images.novusbio.com/design/francisella-tularensis-lps-antibody-250px.jpg" alt="Specificity of the F.

Additionally, virulence factors may modulate the host’s immune system allowing viruses to remain undetected. This is best exemplified by the immune-modulating factors produced by large DNA viruses such as poxviruses and herpes viruses which either inhibit or mimic host’s cytokines, chemokines, and proteases.</p> <p> </p> <table align="center" border="0" cellpadding="4" cellspacing="4" width="700px" title="Virulence Factors Modulating the Immune response"> <tr bgcolor="#005F9E"> <td width="109" > <span style="color: #FFFFFF; font-weight: bold;">Virus </span> </td> <td width="230" > <span style="color: #FFFFFF; font-weight: bold;">Immunomodulating Protein</span> </td> <td width="321" > <span style="color: #FFFFFF; font-weight: bold;">Immune Evasion Mechanism</span> </td> </tr> <tr style="border-bottom-style: solid; border-color:#005f9e; border-width: 1px;" valign="top"> <td> <p>Poxvirus-Variola</p></td> <td> <p>Cytokine response modifier (<a href="/products/recombinant-variola-crmb-protein_4778-cr">CRMB</a>)</p></td> <td> <p>Soluble tumor necrosis factor receptor (TNFR) homologue, binds to chemokines preventing immune cell recruitment.</p></td> </tr> <tr style="border-bottom-style: solid; border-color:#005f9e; border-width: 1px;" valign="top"> <td> <p>Hepatitis C Virus (<a href="/search?keywords=hcv">HCV</a>)</p></td> <td> <p>Nonstructural protein 3 (<a href="/products/hcv-ns3-antibody-1b6_nbp2-80122">NS3</a>)</p></td> <td> <p>Serine protease, targets the mitochondrial antiviral signaling protein (MAVS) to inhibit <a href="/common-name/ifn-beta">IFN-beta</a> production.</p></td> </tr> <tr style="border-bottom-style: solid; border-color:#005f9e; border-width: 1px;" valign="top"> <td> <p>Herpes Simplex Virus (<a href="/search?keywords=herpes+simplex+virus">HSV</a>)</p></td> <td> <p>UL36 ubiquitin-specific protease (UL36USP)</p> <p>ICP34.5<br/> </p> <p>Kinase US3</p> </td> <td> <p>Tegument protein with deubiquitinase activity, inhibits INF-beta production.</p> <p>Inhibits production of IFN thorough <a href="/common-name/tbk1">TBK1</a> sequestration.</p> <p>Serine/threonine kinase, reduces activation of type I IFN.</p> </td> </tr> </table> <br/> <h2>Human Microbiota</h2> <p>The human microbiota is expansive, consisting of trillions of microorganisms inhabiting different organs and tissues throughout our bodies.
