The rebellion in the CDU against Merkel's refugee policies is widening, according to the report. Last week, the three-page urgent letter to Merkel
contained only 34 signatories. The now 126 signatories, who all are CDU function
or mandate holders, include 38 members of German state parliament.
Their main demand is the closure of German borders to refugees who have come from safe third countries to Germany Adidas Superstar LGBT Pride Pack Core Noir Pas Cher , said the report.
"This should be practiced at least as long as the Schengen external borders are actually open and the other Schengen states do not comply to their
obligations under European law," as it said in the urgent letter.
However, the notion of rejecting refugees at the border was thrown out by Merkel at a CDU meeting with its Bavarian CSU sister party on Tuesday in the
Bundestag.
As German media reported last week, the original three-page letter signed by 34 officials of Merkel's conservative CDU party said the chancellor's refugee
policies disregarded party principles and broke the law.

CHICAGO Femme Adidas Superstar Supercolor Pack Clair Bleu Pas Cher , Oct. 26 (Xinhua) -- A key difference between the way immune cells attack bacteria and
the way antibiotics do may provide a roadmap for combatting the rising threat of
drug-resistant pathogens.
Researchers of the University of Michigan (UM), in collaboration with colleagues at Harvard University, have discovered that while drugs typically
attack a single process within bacteria, T cells attack a host of processes at
the same time.
The findings have been newly published in the journal Cell.
"We have a huge crisis of antibiotic resistance right now in that most drugs that treat diseases like tuberculosis or listeria, or pathogens like E.coli, are
not effective Adidas Superstar Supercolor Pack Jaune Pas Cher ," said Chandrasekaran, UM assistant professor of biomedical engineering. "So there is a huge need for
figuring out how the immune system does its work. We hope to design a drug that
goes after bacteria in a similar way."
Killer T cells, formally known as cytotoxic lymphocytes, attack infected cells by producing the enzyme granzyme B. How this enzyme triggers death in
bacteria has not been well understood, Chandrasekaran said.
Chandrasekaran and his team monitored how T cells deal with three different threats: E. coli, listeria and tuberculosis.
"When exposed to granzyme B Adidas Superstar Foundation Collegiate Marine Blanche Pas Cher , the bacteria were unable to develop resistance to the multipronged attack, even
after exposure over multiple generations," Chandrasekaran said. "This enzyme
breaks down multiple proteins that are essential for the bacteria to survive.
It's essentially killing several birds with one stone."
The possible applications of the new findings on T cells range from the creation of new medications to the repurposing of previously approved drugs in
combination to fight infections by mimicking granzyme B.
