The accurate genetic characterization of microbial pathogens and closely related non-pathogenic strains is a central challenge of contemporary microbiology.
to catch microbial pathogens and kill them (von Kockritz-Blickwede and Nizet, 2009).
Pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) detect microbial pathogens and trigger innate immune responses.
The host immune system is critical for defending against microbial pathogens and "non-self" malignant cells to maintain health.
Upon administering different microbial pathogens and pathogen-derived mitogens, RbFerH transcription was markedly elevated in the blood of rock bream.
Results strongly suggested that bioengineered AgNPs and CuNPs could be used as potential tools against microbial pathogens and cancer cells.
Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are the hosts' defense molecules against microbial pathogens and gaining extensive research attention worldwide.
Major contributions to bait insect mortality were by ants, followed by microbial pathogens and entomopathogenic nematodes, respectively.
Activation of the immune system normally leads to removal of microbial pathogens, and after resolution of the inflammation immune homeostasis is restored.
Both CcAgNPs and SnAgNPs found to be effective antimicrobial agent against six human microbial pathogens and these nanohybrids may be considered as effective antibacterial nanodrug.
It has been shown that eosinophil can eject mtDNA specifically, which functions as an ET to assist in immobilization of the microbial pathogens, and thus, the eosinophil can recognize and kill the microorganism (Yousefi et al., 2008).
