MIcrobes and Football

Hurm...actually I had Microb Prac tomorrow but I can't sleep till now...or in other word, don't have the desire to sleep tonight as I usually had previously...so..let me share with u guy something; If these microbes can play football, I will select them as my 1st eleven...exclusive for lock 4 microbes only...

Goalkeeper --> Trichomonas vaginalis...the reason I pick it because, T.vaginalis have 5 flagella ( 4 anterior flagella and another one is the lateral flagella, it only have the trophozoite form, or active form..NO CYST form...so the advantages are with its 4 'hand' it can save a lot of shot!!!

Right and Left Back--> I would like to choose Isospora belli and Crptosporidium parvum to play in that role. This is because, both organism they usually occur as cyst in the soil, means that they are resistant with all the attacks that are launched against them.

Centre back--> Herpes Simplex Virus(HSV) is no doubt be the best candidate for this role. It can become latent trying to replicate and when there's stimulating factor, automatically it will reactivate and march it's back 4 line.
I think that its partner will be Human Papilloma Virus. This organism can either integrate its genome in Human's DNA or the genome being episomally, hence has the suitable character of being strong and protect the goal second after the goalkeeper.

Offensive Midfielder--> I'll choose HIV as the OMF, though that it takes long time to totally infect an induvidual, but due to its effectiveness, persistent plus constantly undergoing mutation via its 'env' gene, hence it can be one of the best player to lepfrog the opponent's defence.

Defensive Midfield- Gardnerella vaginalis....actually it is a Gram Negative NON MOTILE Bacili...huhu...but, being as non motile, it can have more time to defence and will absolutely defence during the 90 minutes match!!! Credit for that!!

Winger- I'll choose Treponema pallidum. Why? Easy- it has Corkskrew motility which can have extension and flexion as part of it. As a microbes, that's somewhat we call as 'bonus' in a football field.
The other winger I'll select Burkholderia pseudomallei. Hurm..I don't know why. But one thing for sure it is a motile (Gram Negative Bacilli), which a minimum requirement to be sellected as 'attackers'

Supporting Striker(SS) &Captain--> Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Hurm, being a Gram Negative Bacili with all the virulence factor it got; adhesins, enzymes ( elastase, phospholipase and lecithinase ) and the most important is with, the addition of Pyocyanin- role to suppress all the other organism in multiple bacterial infections, can make all the other teammates bear and follow his order.

Center Forward--> I'll choose Neisseria gonorrhoeae. Why? Simple- Due to the virulence factor that it has, such as Por, Opa, RMP, LipoOligosaccharide, Pili, IgA protease, such failure of virulence factor can be well 'subtituted' with the other virulence factor. All in all, the opposition will no doubt fear against it!
