aMold and mildew, viruses, bacteria, and exposures to mite, insect, and animal allergens are biological pollutants arising from various sources such as microbiological contamination, (e.g., fungi, bacteria, viruses), mites, pollens, and the remains and dropping of pests such as cockroaches. 模子...
The gut microbiome consists of a multi-kingdom microbial community. Whilst the role of bacteria as causal contributors governing host physiological development is well established, the role of fungi remains to be determined. Here, we use germ-free mice c
