Bacterial diseases are important conditions in human medicine. First, because of the epidemiological impact, and, second, due to the gravity of some of these infectious processes.It is worth to highlight bacterial sepsis and acute bacterial meningoencephalitis which aremorbid conditions that can lead to death in a short period of time. In this context, neutrophils are extremely important cells in the interaction man / bacteria although many aspects of the performance of these cells remain awaiting elucidation. This paper presentsthe requirements for computational simulation of neutrophils in the AutoSimmune systemand some preliminary description of the activity of this kind of cell in post-streptococcalglomerulonephritis, a major human disease that affects the kidneys. The preliminary results presented here is the support for further development of in silico studies on the role ofneutrophils in bacterial diseases.Downloads
