Muzer Hypothesis

Mooser hypothesis

The Mooser hypothesis is a scientific hypothesis put forward by American microbiologist Hans Mooser in 1915.

According to this hypothesis, some bacterial strains can survive and reproduce inside phagocytes (cells of the immune system that engulf and digest bacteria).

Before Mueser's hypothesis was put forward, it was believed that phagocytes completely destroy engulfed microorganisms. However, Mueser discovered that some bacteria are able to evade the influence of phagocytes and even use them for reproduction.

Mueser's hypothesis explained the possible mechanism of chronic and recurrent infections. She also initiated the study of the interaction of microorganisms with cells of the human immune system. Despite criticism, Mueser's hypothesis had a significant impact on the development of microbiology and immunology in the 20th century.

The Muser hypothesis is one of the most significant and interesting scientific discoveries of the 20th century, which affected the research of influenza viruses. American microbiologist Mooser Wright hypothesized that influenza viruses have the properties of colloidal particles, which allows them to spread through the air and infect people. The study was published in a specialized journal in 1930.

The main provisions of the Mooser hypothesis are as follows: - Influenza viruses were found as colloidal particles in samples of fluid from the nose of patients with acute influenza; - Fractional crystallization of the virus in a colloidal state was observed in frozen samples; - The influenza virus molecules contained sugar; Ucan polysaccharide was found in glycoprotein molecules; The hypothesis about the formation of complex compounds and their connection during the formation and elimination of the influenza virus from the body; Viruses have the properties of a colloidal system; Transfer of viruses
