Despite that the culture results were considered to be a contaminating agent rather than a pathogen, antibiotic therapy was prescribed according to the antibiogram.
What sort of attitude has to be chosen concerning human crews, who themselves could become both contaminated victims and contaminating agents?
FFI mice were highly resistant to infection by pre-existing prions, confirming infectivity did not arise from contaminating agents.
This removed contaminating agents, which may otherwise interfere with the mass spectrometric analysis.
These substances are often synthesized in underground laboratories, simply modifying the molecular structure of controlled drugs, hence raising concerns related to the potential presence of contaminating agents [ 10].
We considered the following potential contaminating agents: Bacillus sp, Bacillus cereus, Corynebacterium sp, Micrococcus sp, Propionibacterium sp, Streptococcus viridans and coagulase-negative Staphylococcus (CNS).
These substances are most often synthesized in underground laboratories, simply modifying the molecular structure of controlled drugs, hence raising further concerns in terms of the presence of contaminating agents [ 8].
It is important to point out that, in many cases, sellers fail to list ingredients hence raising further concerns in terms of the presence of contaminating agents, side effects, or drug interactions of the advertised product [ 43, 44].
It would also clean up the lands and restore ecosystems contaminated by Agent Orange/dioxin in Vietnam.
Troops were exposed to TCDD that contaminated the Agent Orange, and since the 1970s, elevated blood TCDD concentrations have been implicated in many cancers, skin rashes, and other health problems experienced by Vietnam veterans.
