Severe dental disease with tooth root infections can lead to abscessation with

After the body has defeated a viral or

Benoit Chassaing, a microbiologist at Georgia State University in Atlanta, wondered if such

Loss of gut barrier integrity, initiated by bacteria or by treatment with a chemical, can result in
bacterial invasion and inflammation.
A team led by Dr. Thorsten Eierhoff and Junior Professor Dr. Winfried Römer from the Institute of Biology II, members of the Cluster of Excellence BIOSS Centre for Biological Signalling Studies of the University of Freiburg, has identified a novel mechanism of
bacterial invasion: Pseudomonas aeruginosa uses lipids in the cell membrane to make its way into host cells.
Whether survival is possible amounts to a race between the damaged immune system trying to recover and respond versus the fluid loss and
bacterial invasion.
Antibiotic therapy is effective in fighting
the bacterial invasion and supportive nursing (replenishment of fluids, administration of diuretics to flush the kidneys and prevent kidney failure, blood transfusions if necessary) is required.
Gums will be probed to see the extent of
the bacterial invasion around tooth roots.
Kidney damage and joint problems can also result from
this bacterial invasion.
This soft, swollen skin has weakened defences which leave it vulnerable to
bacterial invasion.
It can also be caused by viral or
bacterial invasion, but much more common, especially in pups, is the presence of endoparasites: tapeworms, roundworms, hookworms, whipworms, and coccidia.
A bacterial invasion of the gums and tissues supporting the teeth, damaging them and ultimately causing tooth loss.
