37 mm, cellulose support pads are used to reinforce filters in Millipore′s monitors for contamination analysis. When saturated with growth medium, they can also be used for culturing microorganisms on membranes. Comes in a pack of 100.
Besides digesting nutrients, the gut protects the host against invasion by pathogens. Enterocytes may be subjected to damage by both microbial and host defensive responses, causing their death. Here, we report a rapid epithelial response that alleviates infection stress and protects

The humoral immune response to bacterial or fungal infections in Drosophila relies largely on a transcriptional response mediated by the Toll and Immune deficiency NF-κB pathways. Antimicrobial peptides are potent effectors of these pathways and allow the organism to attack

An in-depth mechanistic understanding of microbial infection necessitates a molecular dissection of host-pathogen relationships. Both Drosophila melanogaster and Pseudomonas aeruginosa have been intensively studied. Here, we analyze the infection of D. melanogaster by P. aeruginosa by using mutants in both
