Microbial Behaviour: Herd Immunity...in a population, leads to decline in the infection incidence. It thus implies an immunity pattern that prevents a new infection to effect a population of unimmunised individuals as a consequence of the presence of immunised individuals in the same population. Another implication of the phenomenon is that the presence of higher number of immune individuals in a population is inversely proportional to the risk of the susceptible individuals in the population being affected by the infection (Plotkin et al., 2011). Thus herd immunity is the immunisation or infection in human or other organisms while herd effect is the health...

This is much commoner in women than in men simply for anatomically reasons, although there is an increased risk in those who participate in rectal sex.

Diplomatic Immunity...Diplomatic Immunity The question whether a citizen of a foreign country enjoys diplomatic immunity is a political question. Whether a diplomatic agent is entitled to diplomatic immunity is a matter for the State Department to decide. Once the United States Department of State has regularly certified a visitor to the United States as having diplomatic status, the courts are bound to accept that determination, since this is construed as a nonreviewable political decision. In other words, this political decision cannot be overturned by the courts. The case for allowing judicial review is stronger where the executive finds an individual not to have been a diplomat, but even so the courts have generally acceded to the determination... of the...

Innate immunity in tuberculosis...and humoral components by which the protective functions are carried out (Todar, 2008). Junqueira - Kipnis et al (2003) noted that with M. tuberculosis, the innate and adaptive immune systems contributes to the defense of the host.
Van Crevel et al (2002) noted that the outcome of the infection depends greatly on the relationship between M. tuberculosis and the human host. Both the innate and adaptive defense mechanism is involved with respect to the host. Hence, mechanisms to circumvent and antagonise protective immunity have been developed by M. tuberculosis.
The component of the innate immune response are formed by phagocytosis and subsequent IL -12 secretion that...

Host resistance and immunity...with the pathways of the immune system, therefore, avoiding its destruction (Schindler, 2006).
Conclusion
In a nutshell, Escherichia coli play a useful role by curbing the growth of harmful bacteria species which it does by synthesizing a considerable amount of vitamins thus preventing the bacteria establishment in the body. On the other hand, Mycobacterium tuberculosis causes serious infections in people with a normal immunity. This is because it is capable of attacking the host cells. It does this by creating an intracellular environment which obstructs the pathways of the immune system so much, therefore, avoiding its destruction (Schindler, 2006).
