The phrase "a set of pathogens" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used when referring to a group or collection of different types of pathogens, such as bacteria, viruses, or fungi.
Example: "The research focused on a set of pathogens that are known to cause respiratory infections."
Alternatives: "a group of pathogens" or "a collection of pathogens".
Each channel has a single output and can be dynamically set to respond to some or all of a set of pathogens.
To determine whether there are roles for SlCaM gene function in disease resistance, gene expression in response to a set of pathogens was examined.
Secondly, as we defined MDR as a set of pathogens rather than antibiotic resistance in a single microbial species, our study may be underpowered to detect the possible deleterious impact of MDR in VAP caused by a single microbial species, such as S. aureus of P. aeruginosa.
This recognition often occurs via the detection of a set of pathogen associated molecular patterns (PAMPs).
Antibodies and CD4+ and CD8+ T cells induced by infection target a set of pathogen epitopes, but immunodominance can shift.
Host specificity between different races of F. oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici and tomato cultivars is determined by a set of pathogen genes encoding small secreted cysteine-rich effector proteins termed SIX (Secreted In Xylem) (Rep et al., 2004).
Unlike the highly specific adaptive immunity the innate immune system typically recognizes foreign invaders by a set of pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs), which bind to various evolutionary conserved pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) and act as danger signals alarming the innate immune system.
Two decades after the discovery of CFTR, the mechanism responsible for CF disease remains disputed with some stating that 'CF is an ion channel disease' and others claiming that 'CF is a disorder of immunity involving a restricted set of pathogens'.
This raises a general question of what genes are broadly expressed when a pathogen stimulates a cell and what genes are only expressed for a specific set of pathogens and cell types.
Pathogen-associated proteins with high F-measure, i.e. proteins that score highly for pathogen or cereal-infecting specificity and conservation, are worthy candidates for putative virulence or pathogenicity factors common to a large set of pathogens.
In Virgin's design, the mice get a defined set of pathogens, but the impact on the immune system isn't quite so robust.
