This microorganism can cause localized or disseminated infections that can be life-threatening without prompt diagnosis and proper treatment; furthermore, it is characteristically resistant to multiple anti-microbial agents, including third-generation cephalosporin [ 1, 11].
Conventional and real-time RT-PCR, combined with Luminex bead array, were used in detection of multiple viruses to identity the microbial agents in disease individuals [ 45, 46].
Researchers believe the illness will ultimately prove to have multiple causes, including genetic predisposition and exposure to microbial agents, toxins and other physical and emotional traumas.
Triggers for the initiation of these events are unclear, but appear to include multiple environmental factors, including pathogenic or even commensal microbial agents.
Attine ants may have developed multiple biological sources of antibiotics, with activity against microbial agents of diseases of the ants themselves and competitors of their mutualist fungus 45 65 million years before the origins of human agriculture or medicine.
As the number of biomarkers for microbial agents and disease markers [10] increases, simultaneous detection of multiple agents or risk factors implicated in particular clinical syndromes or diseases that share similar epidemiological features will become highly desirable.
Taken together, the literature suggests a prominent genetic component involving multiple gene loci, but also a likely contribution from both chemical and microbial agents.
For those who had multiple samples because of changes in their workstations between September 2001 and April 2002, we assigned measurements of microbial agents from the workstation they occupied during the 2001 questionnaire survey.
Microbial agents can be used for control.
Obesity, the C.D.C. said, now kills five times as many Americans as "microbial agents," that is, infectious disease.
