Chapter 24.5, Problem 2LO
Summary Introduction
To determine: The method by which comparative genomics between pathogen and host can aid in drug development.
Introduction: An organism that is known to cause diseaseis called a pathogen and its tendency to cause diseaseis known as pathogenicity. A pathogen that invades and survives inside a host has some characteristics that are distinguishable from the non-pathogenic organisms. The pathogenicity can be enhanced due to the presence of locomotory organs.

- Introduction: There’s quite a bit of interest around repurposing extant drugs to treat infections by targeting host pathways that pathogens rely on. Here are a few potential drugs: 1) A drug that inhibits endocytosis, but not phagocytosis. 2) A drug that inhibits degradation of cytoplasmic proteins into smaller peptides, preventing their cycling back into amino acids. 3) A drug used to treat porphyria that reduces the reactivity of heme. 4) A drug that depletes glutathione, a chemical which protects red blood cells against the reactivity of heme. 5) A drug that reduces expression of the ACE-2 protein. Question: Pick a drug and an infection that the drug is likely to be good at treating, or pick an infection and a drug that would most likely make the infection substantially worse.
