Immunity to a particular disease is usually improved by using a vaccine which generally contains an agent resembling a disease-causing microorganism. Vaccines are usually prepared from weakened or killed forms of the microbe, its toxins, or one of its surface proteins. Additionally, a fish vaccine ...
Organisms like bacteria that are known to cause disease are called (a) Parasitic (b) Stromatolites (c) Archaic (d) Pathogenic Infections: Infections in the body cause diseases. The microorganisms that cause diseases are carried by the vectors ...
“Healthy” is also not equivalent to the complete absence of disease-causing microorganisms. In addition to pathogen infection, so many factors have been shown to affect the human gut microbiome7. Our study further proved that BMI, age, region, smoking, alcohol drinking, and PE (Fig.1C) ar...
However, the resultant recombinant microorganism carries the selectable marker for antibiotic resistance. This is not desirable in some cases because the presence of an actively transcribed marker gene can have unanticipated influence on the regulation of other neighboring genes. The presence of the ...
It is well known that the primary and most effective PI of any infectious disease is vaccination (NIAID, 2016; Orenstein et al., 1985). A vaccine typically contains an agent of the disease-causing microorganism in its weakened or killed forms (Wikipedia, 2020c). After getting vaccination, ...
The degradability of a polymer is further influenced by the production method and the additives employed. Within landfills, the combination of UV radiation and heat can trigger breakdown by auto-oxidation, causing polymers to break down into microplastics [64, 65]. These microplastics are then furth...
Pseudomonas syringae is one of the most common plant pathogens that infect the phyllosphere. P. syringae can live on the plant surface as an epiphyte. To cause disease, it enters the plant, through wounds or natural openings such as stomata, and multiplies within the apoplast. P. syringae is...
