| The presence of a commensal parasite that can display mutualism within a clade of known pathogens suggests dynamic evolutionary interactions. |
|
| Based on this finding it was suggested that this bacterial strain has at least a commensal relationship with the host. |
|
| The conjugal relation portrayed between husband and wife differs in both its commensal and sexual aspects from a quotidian union. |
|
| At least one report suggests that the number of bacterial strains that are symbiotic or commensal is limited. |
|
| Mycoplasma hominis and Ureaplasma urealiticium belong to the commensal flora of the genital tract but can cause endometritis and salpingitis. |
|
| This moth, therefore, is a commensal in some populations and a mutualist in others, depending on the local assemblage of pollinator species. |
|
| If antibiotics are administered, the body's commensal organisms can be killed, and other, less-innocuous organisms may take their place. |
|
| In commensal interactions, one species benefits and the other is unaffected. |
|
| His research interests focus on epithelial cell signal transduction responses to pathogenic, commensal, and probiotic bacteria. |
|
| Where does it thrive: very commonly found in water, soil and as a commensal bacterium on the cutis and in the intestines. |
|
| Many representatives of the superfamily Galeommatoidea are commensal, a few are parasitic, and both have thus become miniaturized. |
|
| Those agents that do not cause disease are termed nonpathogenic, or commensal. |
|
| To achieve acceptable results, all aspects of the biology and behaviour of commensal rodents should be understood and taken into account. |
|
| Other less virulent enteric commensal bacteria of animals, including various Enterococcus species, also reach people through the food chain. |
|
| Clostridium difficile is a commensal bacterium which may be found in the human intestine. |
|
| Selective media may be needed to detect a pathogen mixed with environmental or commensal bacteria. |
|
| On the other hand, some cirriped species may dissociate from dead sea turtles as occurs with other commensal taxa, which are rarely found on dead stranded sea turtles. |
|
| The majority of reports came from Europe but resistance in commensal rodents was also documented in the United States, Canada, Japan, and Australia. |
|
| Aids, for example, infects some primates without causing illness or death, and has probably lived in them in a commensal relationship for generations. |
|
| Various aspects of the behaviour and biology of commensal rodents, such as enormous reproductive potential, trap avoidance and feeding behaviour, contribute to the failure of many rodent control programmes. |
|
|
|
| Yeasts of the genus Malassezia serve as both commensal microorganisms and pathogens on the skin of humans and domestic animals. |
|
| Generally, commensal microorganisms are considered to be nonpathogenic in their normal habitat, but may, in certain circumstances, become opportunistic pathogens. |
|
| Bacterial pathogens and commensal strains were isolated, identified and antibiotyped. |
|
| Several groups of commensal balanomorphs have formed symbiotic associations with a variety of hosts, but only a few are known to have become fully parasitic. |
|
| Surfaces of shells should be free from mud and soft commensal organisms. |
|
| Before conditioning or storage bivalve molluscs should be washed to remove mud and soft commensal organisms and dead or damaged bivalve molluscs should be removed when practicable. |
|
| Early research on microbiota focused largely on the commensal bacteria that reside in the human gut. |
|
| Many of the procedures used for managing commensal rodents like the house mouse will work for deer mice. |
|
| In most cases, microorganisms live in harmony with their hosts via mutual or commensal interactions. |
|
| Blind snakes were taken into the nest as prey items but some survived in nests to live in a novel commensal association with the owls. |
|
| These interactions can be mutualistic or antagonistic in nature, or in the case of commensal fungi are of no apparent benefit or detriment to the host. |
|
| Over the past decade, researchers have learned that some commensal skin bacteria secrete compounds that inhibit excess inflammation during injury. |
|
| Humans did not intend to domesticate animals from, or at least they did not envision a domesticated animal resulting from, either the commensal or prey pathways. |
|
| The pseudostalked barnacle Xenobalanus globicipitis is a cosmopolitan species and an obligate phoretic commensal that attaches itself to cetacean hosts. |
|
| The biodiversity hypothesis says that the less contact people have with a microbially diverse natural environment, the less diverse their own commensal microbiota. |
