These findings indicate that internalized TIVAR + bacteria are refractory to killing by PMB relative to bacteria that do not exhibit the TIVAR phenotype.
Of these bacteria, most appear refractory to culture [Table 3].
Although two methods were used to isolate plasmids, some bacteria may have been refractory to these procedures or a large or low copy number plasmids were not observed.
In AnSBR-C, the bacteria had to use the refractory organics, and therefore less COD was left in AnSBR-C compared to AnSBR-Fe.
In addition, the ability of S. epidermidis and S. aureus to form biofilms on natural and abiotic surfaces, such as medical implants, has made these pathogens a major cause of refractory biofilm-associated infections because the biofilm bacteria show phenotypic resistance to antibiotics.
The biological oxidation by tamed Thiobacillus ferrooxidans bacteria with a mixed low-grade refractory gold ore was investigated.
BG and MG can safely treat fish for extended periods against bacteria, fungus, and parasites that are refractory to other forms of drug therapy and most recently, Brilliant Blue variants have been investigated for the treatment of plaque forming diseases of the central nervous system.
Although temporary systemic immunization has occurred after colonization by these bacteria (19 ), the exact duration of this refractory phase is not clear.
The reason could be that the bacteria preferred to use iron instead of the refractory organics in the wastewater.
The case presented highlights the possibility of recurrent meningitis due to intestinal bacteria in HTLV-1-infected patients with strongyloidiasis refractory to treatment.
