Saccharopolyspora rectivirgula

At least two environmental factors may contribute to the development of HP as a promoting factor viral infections and inhalation injury. Experimental models of HP have shown that animals challenged with respiratory syncytial virus or Sendai virus exhibit a more severe inflammatory response to subsequent Saccharopolyspora rectivirgula exposure, which may persist long after the viral infection has declined (11,12). Also, studies in humans have revealed that common respiratory vimses, primarily Influenza A, are often present in the lower airways of patients with HP (13). The reasons why viral infections may potentiate HP are unknown, but it may be related to vims-induced mucociliary dysfunction, increased expression of costimulatory molecules by alveolar macrophages, and increased secretion of chemokines, enhancing the recruitment of lymphocytes to the lungs (13,14).
