Imaging over time demonstrated waves of bacterial growth and clearance, where bacterial signals diminished and then reappeared at novel locations.
Injection of bacteria in blood demonstrated waves of bacterial clearance and growth, which selected for Opa-expressing bacteria, indicating the importance of this bacterial protein.
Our integrated data analysis strategy permits prompt and accurate mapping of the dissemination of bacterial organisms in an epidemic wave, permitting rapid generation of hypotheses that inform public health and virulence studies.
The first wave of DNA microarray experiments of relevance to bacterial pathogenesis focused on analyzing bacterial gene expression during growth in vitro under conditions chosen to mimic some aspect of infection.
In the first wave of pediatric H1N1pdm admissions in Birmingham, UK, only low rates of bacterial infection were found (10 out of 63 children, 15.8%) [4].
Like NKT cells, MZ B cells have been implicated in early immune responses, as they are responsible for the first wave of antibody secretion in response to bacterial antigen (Martin et al, 2001) and mediate more rapid responses against blood-borne viral particles compared with follicular B cells (Gatto et al, 2004).
B7 A CAUTION -- Infectious-disease experts are concerned that the overuse of Cipro may cause a second wave of health problems, including a rise in bacterial resistance, undermining the antibiotic's usefulness.
At the time the recommendations were written, the best science indicated that blood was a sign of bacterial infection, and bacterial diarrhea is usually the most dangerous.
Researchers at the N.I.H. are pursing several lines of inquiry, including the possibility of bacterial persistence.
SHT withdrawal allowed resumption of bacterial growth.
