All tested bacterial strains were most susceptible to the garlic aqueous extract and showed poor susceptibility to the ginger aqueous extract.
Since chitosan is biocompatible and inexpensive, these data indicate that chitosan may be a potential candidate for a non-viral vector to safely increase adenoviral infectivity to mammalian cells, particularly those with poor susceptibility to adenoviral infection.
Therapeutic options are limited for HIV-2 infected persons, largely in part due to the lack of susceptibility to HIV-1 non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors and poor susceptibility to some HIV-1 protease inhibitors.
The poor susceptibility of C. glabrata to antifungal drugs contributes to the high mortality rate (∼50%) associated with C. glabrata candidemia (Klevay et al. 2009).
The conventional therapy using anticancer drugs, which are capable of diffusing passively, are limited by their inability to penetrate into the tumor tissue and have poor cell susceptibility [1, 5, 6].
Furthermore, traditional aromatic cultivars have often undesirable agronomic performance, such as poor yield, susceptibility to pests and diseases, and strong shedding [ 3, 10].
The use of comparative methods to investigate the fundamental biological causes of these species differences would help to improve husbandry and enclosure design, and might even reveal relationships between susceptibilities to poor captive welfare and susceptibilities to anthropogenic threat in the wild.
And it was Higginson who decided that the orchestra needed a new home to take the place of Boston's Music Hall, deplored for its poor ventilation and susceptibility to fire.
Studies have demonstrated that poor sleep and susceptibility to colds go hand in hand, and scientists think it could be a reflection of the role sleep plays in maintaining the body's defenses.
Formulation and delivery of proteins and peptides, such as monoclonal antibodies, aptamers, recombinant proteins and peptides to ocular tissues poses significant challenges owing to their large size, poor permeation and susceptibility to degradation.
Strategies to solve their poor stability and susceptibility to proteolytic digestion, such as amino acid substitution, structural fusion of functional peptides, and conjugation with chemotherapeutic drugs, must be evaluated.
