In the hypothesis "The Local Microbial Ecosystem Supports Respiratory Health", the commensal bacteria in microbe-microbe interactions may:
inhibit growth of pathogenic strains by competing for adhesion receptors on mucosal surface as well as nutrients
promote low-level inflammation and increase suspeptibility to pathogenic strains
clear invaders if excessive numbers of microbes enter the alveoli
influence abiotic component like acidity and ocygen availability, which could inhibit pathogenic strains

streptococcus pneumoniae
corynebacterium diphtheriae
Whooping cough vaccine for people 7 years or older:
Tdap
DTap
Whooping cough vaccine for children 6 weeks to 7 years old:
Tdap
DTap
This stage of whooping cough includes general malaise, low-grade fever, increasingly severe cough
initial (catarrhal)
second stage (paroxysmal)
This stage of whooping cough includes cells and mucus accumulating in the airways and cause labored breathing:
initial (catarrhal)
second stage (paroxysmal)
newer whooping cough vaccine contains:
B. pertussis chemical extracts
B. pertussis killed cells
causative agent of Tuberculosis (TB):
bordetella pertussis
streptococcus pyogenes
corynebacterium diphtheriae
mycobacterium tuberculosis
develops within 3 months and can be transmitted to others
Primary TB
Latent TB
Clinical TB
Active TB
within first week of inhalation of bacillus
Primary TB
Latent TB
Clinical TB
Active TB
bacilli growth and destruction by macrophages are balanced
Primary TB
Latent TB
Clinical TB
Active TB
no symptoms or signs of active disease
Primary TB
Latent TB
Clinical TB
Active TB
outcome depends on amount of TB bacilli and strength of macrophage and lasts until the third week after initial infection:
Primary TB
Latent TB
Clinical TB
Active TB
primary complex doesn't heal and TB bacilli become re-activated 12-24 months after initial infection
Primary TB
Latent TB
Clinical TB
Active TB
not contagious
Primary TB
Latent TB
Clinical TB
Active TB
macrophages accumulate in the lung and form a tubercle that harbors M. tuberculosis
