Hidden Dangers in Water-Damaged Homes: Mold and Actinomycetes

Posted on by elina5x86@gmail.com
[Russian translation] Actinomycetes are a group of Gram-positive bacteria that occupy an intermediate position between bacteria and fungi. They form branched, filamentous structures resembling mold mycelium and are capable of producing spores. While many species of actinomycetes naturally occur in the environment and participate in the decomposition of organic matter, certain strains can become pathogenic and pose a threat to human health when they begin to proliferate indoors. What A...

Posted on by elina5x86@gmail.com
[Russian translation] The microbiome is a collection of microorganisms that inhabit not only the intestines but also the skin, respiratory tract, mucous membranes, urogenital system, and even the surrounding environment. The human body contains more microbial cells than its own: for every human cell, there are approximately 1.3 microbial cells. The total mass of the microbiome is estimated to be 1.5–2 kg, and its genes outnumber human genes by 150 times. The external microbiome is a...

Mycoplasma Infections: More Than Just a Persistent Cough

Posted on by elina5x86@gmail.com
[Russian translation] Mycoplasmas are unique bacteria characterized by the absence of a cell wall. Instead, they have a cytoplasmic membrane, which makes them distinct from microorganisms. This feature complicates their detection by the immune system and renders antibiotics targeting the cell wall ineffective. However, drugs such as tetracyclines and macrolides, which act on other mechanisms like protein synthesis, remain effective against these microorganisms. Mycoplasmas can cause...
