Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) appears to be particularly important because it colonizes almost all lesional skin in AD patients, and a reduction in its colonization has been shown to decrease disease severity (5– 7).
Colonization has been associated with precarious hygienic conditions.
Assisted colonization has been proposed as a method for addressing these challenges.
And while the weed's colonization has been greatest in thinly populated areas, cheatgrass and development are moving closer together.
As systemic Epichloë colonization has been reported to strongly modulate plant chemistry and physiology6,13,14,15, we expected that the bacterial and fungal community structures would be shaped by the Epichloë colonization status of the shared plant host.
Disentangling the impacts of the first-order trend toward a colder, drier planet through the Late Quaternary from the impacts of human colonization has been challenging, from both the chronological and paleoenvironmental perspectives.
Antepartum treatment of lower genital tract infection or bacterial colonization has been found to reduce the incidence of preterm birth in the case of asymptomatic bacteriuria and bacterial vaginosis in selected patients but has been proved to be ineffective for vaginal colonization with organisms such as Ureaplasma urealyticum and group B streptococcus.
DSE colonization has been identified in about 600 plant species which represent about 320 genera and 114 families (Jumpponen and Trappe 1998).
In contrast, the small grooves (measuring approximately 0.5 μm in diameter) on smooth zirconia surfaces in AFM may possibly explain the enhanced potential to adhere bacteria in contrast to totally plane titanium surfaces, because initial microbial colonization has been shown to start from very small and not from large-scale pits and gularge-scale pits8, 39].
The start of forest-clearing for agriculture, and thus presumably colonization, has been dated to circa 1200, implying a date for the invention of rongorongo no earlier than the 13th century.
Using both mitochondrial and nuclear DNA sequences, a single colonization has been estimated at 62 to 65 mya based on the split between the aye-aye and the rest of the lemurs.
