It is possible that in many cases potentially pathogenic bacteria were merely colonizers, particularly when multiple potential pathogens were found in the same patient.
This mutant was chosen because it appears to affect a pathway required for immunity to bacterial pathogens in general but not for survival in the absence of potentially pathogenic bacteria.
This study showed that diets can influence the shedding of potentially pathogenic bacteria in dairy cow excreta.
Making matters worse, moderate drinkers also had an overabundance of potentially pathogenic bacteria (including Actinomyces and Neisseria), linked, for example, to endocarditis (inflammation of the heart's inner lining).
We sought to determine whether a tube feeding formula acidified using potassium sorbate could reduce gastric burden of potentially pathogenic bacteria.
The cultivable microbiota of skin and cloaca of captive Lithobates catesbeianus includes microorganisms generally accepted as beneficial and potentially pathogenic bacteria.
A few months later, another team using a remote-controlled helicopter to collect blow samples reported finding potentially pathogenic bacteria in the breath of five whale species.
With an acidity at least ten times that of a human's, a vulture's gut destroys a large amount of any potentially pathogenic bacteria that is ingested.
In fact, we have been remarkably healthy for more than three decades, despite what the manufacturers tell us: that everything from our hands to our counters to our supposedly clean laundry is crawling with potentially pathogenic bacteria that their products can wipe out.
To examine associated findings and clinical outcome in young children with prolonged cough, wheeze, and/or noisy breathing in whom high colony counts of potentially pathogenic bacteria were cultured from bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) during diagnostic flexible fiberoptic bronchoscopy.
The study by the Swiss Federal Institute of Aquatic Science and Technology, ETH Zurich and the University of Illinois, counted microbes swimming inside the yellow toys and found the murky liquid released when ducks were squeezed contained "potentially pathogenic bacteria" in four out of the five toys studied.
