Biomarkers: a biomarker, or biological marker, generally refers to a measurable indicator of some biological state or condition. The term is also occasionally used to refer to a substance, the presence of which indicates the existence of a living organism. Further, life forms are known to shed unique chemicals, including DNA, into the environment as evidence of their presence in a particular location.

In this talk, Sonia Shah interweaves history and original reportage to explore the origins of epidemics, drawing parallels between the story of cholera-one of history's most disruptive and de...
Over the past twenty years there has been an accelerated attack on the use of preservatives in cosmetics. This increased scrutiny of preservatives has forced cosmetic companies to change thei...
Control of infection from methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) has been a healthcare focus for more than 50 years. One of the reasons that active surveillance testing (AST) for...
Preservatives have been under attacks by NGO's and their willing accomplishes-the media and the marketers of cosmetics. But with all their science fiction and negative statements, what are t...
Healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) continue to be a considerable problem for hospitals and healthcare institutions that can adversely affect patient outcomes and impact the financial bot...
Biofilm is an ancient and preferred mode of growth for microbes with 99% of all microbes residing in a biofilm. Biofilm is characterized by a community of microbes (usually polymicrobial ofte...
Respiratory viral infections remain a leading cause of medical visits and can contribute significantly to morbidity and mortality. Influenza, together with pneumonia, is the leading infectio...
The world–as microbes perceive it–is composed of physical and chemical stimuli. These stimuli create conditions that result in life or death for microbes, affecting their survival...
