Diarrheagenic Pathogens in Polymicrobial Infections
During systematic active surveillance of the causes of diarrhea in patients admitted to the Infectious Diseases and Beliaghata General Hospital in Kolkata, India, we looked for 26 known gastrointestinal pathogens in fecal samples from 2,748 patients. Samples from about one-third (29%) of the patients contained multiple pathogens. Polymicrobial infections frequently contained Vibrio cholerae O1 ...
متن کاملCommentary Inhibitory receptors abound ?
Receptor biologists have traditionally focused on receptors that are physiologically coupled to inductive responses such as gene expression, cytokinesis, secretion, or entry into the cell cycle. It has generally been assumed that such inductive responses were terminated by ligand decay or receptor desensitization, which lead to cessation of signaling. While such mechanisms are clearly operative...
متن کاملCystic Fibrosis Lung Infections: Polymicrobial, Complex, and Hard to Treat
Historically, H. influenzae and S. aureus were considered to be the primary organisms infecting the airways of infants and children with CF, followed by P. aeruginosa or Burkholderia cepacia complex during adulthood. These bacteria continue to play important roles in CF respiratory infections and clinical outcome; however, with the advent of improved culture methods and culture-independent appr...
متن کاملLearning When Negative Examples Abound
Existing concept learning systems can fail when the negative examples heavily outnumber the positive examples. The paper discusses one essential trouble brought about by imbalanced training sets and presents a learning algorithm addressing this issue. The experiments (with synthetic and real-world data) focus on 2-class problems with examples described with binary and continuous attributes.
متن کاملHost-to-host variation of ecological interactions in polymicrobial infections.
Host-to-host variability with respect to interactions between microorganisms and multicellular hosts are commonly observed in infection and in homeostasis. However, the majority of mechanistic models used to analyze host-microorganism relationships, as well as most of the ecological theories proposed to explain coevolution of hosts and microbes, are based on averages across a host population. B...
