Pathogens, Commensal Symbionts, and Pathobionts: Discovery and Functional Effects on the Host

ILAR Journal
Mathias W Hornef

Abstract

During the last decade, we have witnessed a stunning increase in information on the composition of the microbiota; its influence on a variety of host functions; and associations with the susceptibility to inflammatory, metabolic, and autoimmune diseases. We have thus obtained insight into the potentially harmful consequences of an altered microbiota and also learned about the many beneficial functions of commensal bacteria. The present review aims at summarizing for the reader the general concept of pathogenic and commensal bacteria and their particular features. It also discusses the more recently defined pathobionts, members of the microbiota that exert specific effects on the host's mucosal immune system associated with the development of clinical disease.

Autoimmune Diseases

Autoimmune diseases occur as a result of an attack by the immune system on the body’s own tissues resulting in damage and dysfunction. There are different types of autoimmune diseases, in which there is a complex and unknown interaction between genetics and the environment. Discover the latest research on autoimmune diseases here.
