Manipulating virulence factor availability can have complex consequences for infections
Given the rise of bacterial resistance against antibiotics, we urgently need alternative strategies to fight infections. Some propose we should disarm rather than kill bacteria, through targeted disruption of their virulence factors. It is assumed that this approach (i) induces weak selection for resistance because it should only minimally impact bacterial fitness, and (ii) is specific, only in...
متن کاملYes, Cavalier Attitudes Can Have Pernicious Consequences
In their thoughtful commentary on our article (Swann, Chang-Schneider, & McClarty, February–March 2007), Krueger, Vohs, and Baumeister (2008, this issue) brought up many points with which we agree. Nevertheless, as they noted these points of agreement, we focus instead on several points of continued disagreement. In addition, we comment on a few new twists that they have added to their argument...
متن کاملFalse beliefs about fattening foods can have healthy consequences.

In Experiment 1, a minority of subjects came to believe that they had felt ill after eating strawberry ice cream as children, and these subjects were more likely to indicate not wanting to eat s...
متن کاملExotic Companion Mammal Zoonoses: Small Animals Can Have Big Consequences
Nearly two thirds of human diseases can be transmitted to animals. As veterinarians, however, we tend to use the term zoonosis when infections are transmitted from animals to humans. An estimated 75% of emerging infectious diseases are zoonotic, mainly of viral origin, and likely to be vector-borne. Among the major causes of these emerging diseases are alterations in human behavior and modifica...
متن کاملAdvanced query language for manipulating complex entities
Complex entities are one of the most popular ways to model relationships among data. Especially complex entities, known as physical assemblies, are popular in several applications. Typically, complex entities consist of several parts organized at many nested levels. Contemporary query languages intended for manipulating complex entities support only extensional queries. Likewise, the user has t...
