The sugar transporter were induced to supply nutrient for the pathogen colonization in the cases of Arabidopsis to bacterium Pseudomonas syringae pv.
Their polar flagellum contributes to biofilm formation and host colonization, as in the case of other bacterial genera such as Campylobacter and Pseudomonas [ 2].
Thus, we may expect that some or all of the core Corvoidea's member groups could have been preadapted for dispersal and colonization and in the case of Corvus, it can be expected that this combined with large brains and the increased associated cognitive abilities would make them ideal dispersers and colonizers across the planet [ 8].
The temporal distribution of hospitalization and onset of colonization in the 14 cases colonized by ST1-MRSA-IVa, as detected by the weekly active surveillance culture program, is illustrated in Figure 3.
It is impossible to definitively differentiate between symptomatic disease or colonization in these cases, but rapid response to treatment led us to assume that the latter had occurred.
Cultures from sites other than blood or normally sterile body fluids are nonspecific and reflect colonization in the majority of cases.
However, while for many species of continental Europe these Mediterranean peninsulas were both glacial refugia and source areas for northward postglacial colonization [ 2, 4], in the case of P. muralis peninsular lineages are not found outside of these areas.
Similarly, a reduced colonization capacity has been observed in the case of MBC microbiota with respect to LGG.
As mentioned above, the strain-specific structure of the O-antigen has been show to be an important mediator in plant colonization by symbiotic bacteria, especially in the case of nodule formation during Rhizobium-legume interactions [ 59].
In the case of colonization, individual success was binary: either the colonization site was successfully reached, securing that cell's survival for the near future, or the cell was purged example consumed by a neutrophil and left no progeny.
