Pneumonia can be caused by a number of different microorganisms like bacteria, virus, and mycoplasma. In case of the entry of a pathogen in our body, the immune system gets activated, and the phagocytic cells try to eliminate it by generating reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (ROS and RNS...
Infectious diseases are caused by pathogenic microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses, parasites or fungi. The U.S. government and many other governments and organizations around the world are engaged to help reduce the prevalence and incidence of these diseases through studying the pathogenesis of in...

Bacteria: One-celled organisms that multiply quickly. They give off toxins, harmful chemicals that cause a range of disease states from sore throats to life-threatening infections (e.g., sepsis, etc.). • Viruses: Protein coated capsules of genetic material (nucleic acid molecules) capable of...
Second, mNGS can detect DNA and RNA at the same time, so it can detect various pathogens such as bacteria, fungi, and viruses. Finally, the mNGS assay can provide results in a short period of time and has a high sensitivity to detect pathogens with low abundance. Therefore, if the ...
