Microbe


Definition:

  • (n.) Alt. of Microbion

Example Sentences:

  • (1) This baseline data will be used to monitor antibody activity to these common microbes along with several other parameters in a group of ill surgical patients.
  • (2) The results are consistent with the hypothesis that mice are more responsive immunologically to antigens of nonindigenous bacteria than they are to antigens of certain microbes indigenous to their gastrointestinal tracts.
  • (3) The concept of a mechanism-based etiology, rather than of a microbe-based one, deserves consideration for this complex, host-parasite interaction.
  • (4) Its mean indices (mean g) varied within the limits of 500 to 2000 microbe cells per 1 individual, maximum index rarely exceeded 30 000 microbe cells.
  • (5) Coagulase-negative staphylococci, dominated by Staphylococcus epidermidis, were the commonest microbe group found (83% of persons sampled).

  • (8) The immediate secretion of iPH in response to feeding and its relationship to DFT stimulation may represent a systemic physiological process by which resistance of teeth to decay is enhanced at a time when the acidogenic potential of the oral microbes is maximum.
  • (9) This is due to competition for binding between progesterone and naphthaquinone, which have a structural similarity; and the latter is an essential nutrient for the microbe.
  • (10) The outcome of pregnancy was related to age, number of aspirations and to the presence or not of microbes.
  • (11) That raises the possibility of manipulating the mix of gut microbes early in development to reduce the risk.
  • (12) The MHC class II antigen variation in the fallopian tube epithelium seen in this study may indicate a hormonal regulation that could reflect variable need for local immunocompetence during the menstrual cycle: a preovulatory need for immunoreactivity against invading microbes and postovulatory an optimal survival of the foreign preimplantation embryo.
  • (13) The processes of digestion (the physical disintegration and chemical breakdown by gut microbes and secreted enzymes) may affect the radionuclide uptake by an animal.
  • (14) The RNA-polymerases were used to screen for enzyme inhibitors produced by microbes.
