What is a Strep B bacterial infection? What bacterial organism is responsible for rheumatic fever? What is a Staph bacterial infection? Is salmonella an infectious disease? What makes gram negative bacteria more resistant to antibiotics? What is the antibiotic drug called Cipro?
What type of reproduction is found in bacteria? What are examples of coccus, spirillum, and bacillus bacteria? Which describes the benefit of using Bdellovibrio bacteria to control microbes? A) Bdellovibrio bacteria are predators of Gram-negative pathogens such as Salmonella ...
M. pneumoniae is also found frequently in the upper respiratory tract of asymptomatic children [81, 82], making it difficult to reliably assign the organism as a cause of pneumonia in the absence of serology, and especially when other pathogens, such as respiratory viruses, are also present. ...
A parasite is an organism that lives on or in a host, benefiting at the host's expense, while a pathogen is a disease-causing microorganism.

Chlamydiais an infection in men and women caused by an organism calledChlamydia trachomatis. Chlamydia increases the risk of pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) in women. Gonorrhea, also known as "clap" and "the drip," is caused by Neisseria gonorrhoeae. Men and women can be infected. Gonorrhea...
The number of genes in all the microbes in one person's microbiome is 200 times the number of genes in the human genome (all of the approximately three billion base pairs of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) that make up the entire set of chromosomes of the human organism). The human microbiome...
Bacteria is not only a living organism, it carries all the tools it needs for growth and multiplication and it can reproduce on its own, asexually. In case of sexual reproduction, certain plasmids' genetic material can be passed between bacteria. Most kinds of bacteria ...
81 IL-1 family proinflammatory cytokines such as IL-1α or IL-1β belong to the most potent proinflammatory cytokines in an organism and in a healthy liver, which is continuously exposed towards bacterial antigens, IL-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1Ra) is constitutively expressed likely to dampen ...
Although similar to any other organism, prokaryotes can transfer genes vertically from mother cell to daughter cell, they can also exchange certain genes horizontally. Genes can move within and between genomes at fast rates because of mobile genetic elements (MGEs). Although mobile elements are fund...
