Describe the various methods of diagnosis of fungal infections. Nearly all the antibiotics used to stop bacterial infections are natural compounds that come from microbes themselves. For example, penicillin is derived from a fungus, while vancomycin, ...
How do I decide which antibiotic to use for a patient who has microbes that developed into drug resistance? Which branch of biology deals with the study of causative agents of diseases? What is the clinical use of antibiotics, against which ...
Is Pus a Sign of Infection? What Causes It? Learn about pus and what to do if a wound gets infected and contains pus. Bacteria are microbes that are invisible to the naked eye because of their size. You can observe them under a microscope. What Is a Staph Infection? Do you know wh...
Since the maternal gut is the natural source of microbes to the infant gut, maternal fecal microbiota transfer (FMT) is an effective method of microbiota restoration in CS-born neonates [28]. Mimicking the natural vertical transfer of microbiota at birth, FMT provides the infant with a large ...
“We are changing the transmission of the microbiome from generation to generation because of C-sections, early-life antibiotics and not breastfeeding at the most critical period of life,” says Martin J. Blaser, a microbiologist at Rutgers University and author of Missing Microbes: How the Overu...
Respiratory viral infections affect the lungs, nose, and throat. These viruses are most commonly spread by inhaling droplets containing virus particles. Examples include: Rhinovirusis the virus that most often causes the common cold, but there are more than 200 different viruses that can cause cold...
The potential toxicity is increased as they are poorly degraded (by microbes). The present information suggests that ionic liquids are moderately toxic, but since their toxicity depends on the ions they consist of, and since it is poorly known what their concentrations in natural waters can be,...
“the last undiscovered human organ”; microbes within the human gut have significant effects on human health and immune function due to their proximity to the immune environment within the gastrointestinal tract. Complex interactions allow for the oral tolerance of commensal bacteria and food antigens...
What type of bacteria is E. coli? Why is this type of bacteria more resistant to antibiotics? What is the term for a severe type of food poisoning caused by anaerobic bacteria? What type of bacteria causes most of the sickness in humans? Which microbes are most susceptible to disinfectants...
Why is the rise of antibiotic-resistant bacteria a serious problem today? What are some major reasons for the lack of efficacy of antibiotics/sanitizers on microbes associated with biofilms? If we only overused Penicillin, how could that lead suddenly to the development of resistance to all ...
