To evaluate the ability of such material as a substrate for bacterial colonization, this work assessed the capability of different bacteria to colonize a biomimetic rough superhydrophobic (SH) PLLA surface and also a smooth hydrophobic (H) one.
However, quantification of bacterial DNA load may be important in distinguishing infection from asymptomatic colonization; most work described to date has focused on S. pneumoniae, and a cut-off of 10 to 10 gene copies/mL has typically been described [3,41 43].
However, standard care is not effective to preserve the inner lumen patency, and specific devices has been designed with the purpose of removing secretions from the ETT lumen, resolving sudden ETT occlusions and possibly reducing the risk of airways colonization and work of breathing due to increased ETT airflow resistance [ 10, 11].
In recent decades research in the conservation and restoration field has provided sustainable alternatives to traditional procedures for cleaning or controlling the microbial colonization of works of art.
He coupled colonization with missionary work among the Slavs and revived the bishoprics of Havelberg and Brandenburg.
But colonization was grim work in a hot, dry land, with the government reluctant to expend resources.

RYP and JFS co-designed the dispersal and colonization experiments, and worked together on the collection of the data and their interpretation.
Indeed, Lincoln was perfectly able to work on colonization in 1863 and afterward without constantly issuing public updates.
Intriguingly, those findings allow for speculation that dietary changes and probiotics might be used to manipulate also the respiratory microbiota but whether this will be possible only during a narrow window of first post-natal colonization or might even work in elder people is unclear.
