1 lip 2009 · Laboratory-acquired infection represents an occupational hazard unique to laboratory workers, especially those in the microbiology laboratory. Exposures may occur inadvertently, may not even be recalled, or may result from lapses in technique leading to accidental inoculation.
EMBL will employ its unique capacities in imaging and structural biology to view intracellular pathogens at different stages of infection and to characterise their interactions with the host at an atomic, molecular, and tissue level.
Microbial and host cellular biology and interactions dictate the breadth of clinical infection practice, from colonisation to invasion to infection. Understanding the classifications used for bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites aids clinical and laboratory diagnosis and ultimately patient management.
21 wrz 2021 · Knowledge of pathogen biology would help develop novel prophylactic and therapeutic measures for tackling infectious diseases. This special issue brings together a set of review articles focusing on the biology of some of the important viral, bacterial, and fungal pathogens.
16 kwi 2020 · In this Perspective, I provide a definition of, a conceptual framework for, and proposed mechanisms of physiological health to complement our understanding of disease and its treatment.
The first step in infection is for the pathogen to colonize the host. Most parts of the human body are well-protected from the environment by a thick and fairly tough covering of skin. The protective boundaries in some other human tissues (eyes, nasal passages and respiratory tract, mouth and digestive tract, urinary tract, and female genital ...
25 paź 2016 · Summary. Publications on laboratory-associated infections (LAIs) provide critical information for prevention strategies. The review of actual case studies illustrates the importance of adhering to biosafety protocols and may trigger changes in laboratory procedures.
