The phrase "a given infection" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used when referring to a specific infection that has been previously mentioned or is understood in the context.
Example: "In the study, we focused on the effects of antibiotics on a given infection in patients with compromised immune systems."
Alternatives: "a specific infection" or "an identified infection".
To clarify the concept, a key population for a given infection consists of members who are either infected or have a very high risk of acquiring the infection.
Acknowledging the limitations of MAT to identify the specific serovar responsible for a given infection [ 23- 25], for the purpose of this analysis, the presumptive infecting serogroup was established based on the serogroup with a titer at least two dilutions higher than any other titer in the panel.
Depending on the forma specialis (host-specific form) responsible for a given infection, the disease can sometimes be controlled with soil fungicides, though some forms have developed resistance.
Bacteriophage λ relies on a similar repression-antirepression regulatory scheme to "decide" whether a given infection will be productive or silent.
Thus, the estimate of the OR will, on average, be biased towards the null; for a given infection incidence, the lower the ascertainment, the greater the bias [32].
Further study will be required to determine if, in fact, repression-antirepression of the ICP0 gene is relevant to the natural process by which HSV 'decides' whether a given infection will be productive or silent.
However, any given infection produces a clinical outcome that depends on a combination of parasite, vector, host and environmental factors [4].
The Fraser estimator was extended by Nishiura [ 63] to allow the estimation of the reproduction number for a specific age class given infection by another age class.
Live vaccine had a higher efficacy for illness given infection (VE P = 67%, 95% CI: 24, 100) than inactivated vaccine (VE P = 29%, 95% CI: −19, 76), although the difference was not statistically significant.
In our case, the metric should communicate the average effectiveness of the set of antibiotics that are used to treat a given bacterial infection.
If the former is true, the total morbidity from a given vivax infection could be reduced, and total gametocyte carriage and, hence, transmissibility would also be expected to decrease.
