(A) Four disease-related microorganism (DRM) groups based on their presence in healthy samples from the HMP and our data in this study. (B) Percentage (positive samples/total samples) of Group 2 and Group 3 microorganisms in healthy Chinese people. (C) Average abundance level of Group 2 a...
A microorganism that causes disease. EPITHELIUM The tissue that covers the surface of the body and lines hollow structures, including the male and female genital tracts and the rectum. Its structure varies depending on location and role.
For BALF samples, the interpretation is more complex because the presence of a microorganism does not necessarily reflect an infection. In five out of 10 VAP cases with sterile BALF or BALF with cultured bacteria present under the clinical significance threshold, several bacterial species were ...
A vaccine typically contains an agent of the disease-causing microorganism in its weakened or killed forms (Wikipedia, 2020c).

Pathogenicityis the ability of a microorganism to cause infectionand disease in a host. Based on this concept, bacteria can be classified into three major groups: true pathogens, opportunistic pathogens and nonpathogens.Pathogensare capable of causing infections and diseases in healthy persons with no...
Endophytes are organisms exist in living healthy plant tissues without causing disease symptoms in their host plants [1]. Through colonization sites, nutritional competition with pathogens, antibiotic synthesis, and induction of resistance mechanisms, endophytic fungi protect plants from disease [2]. Endop...
The effectiveness of preservatives depends primarily on their effect on a specific type of microorganism, which is why it is vital to select the appropriate preservative based on the microbes found in the product (bacteria, mould, or yeast). Other factors that determine the effectiveness of ...
