Pathogen is any disease-producing agent, especially a virus, bacterium, or other microorganism. It is an organism causing disease to its host, with the severity of the disease symptoms referred to as virulence. They include viruses, bacteria, fungi, and parasites that invade the body and can cause health issues.
The emergence and spread of antimicrobial-resistant (AMR) bacteria and resistance mechanisms pose a serious challenge to laboratories in both hospital clinical microbiology and public health...
Plants recruit soil microbes that provide nutrients, promote growth and protect against pathogens. However, the full potential of microbial communities for supporting plant health and agricul...
Background: The vast majority of all genes are contained within the genomes of the prokaryotes, including the eubacteria and the archaea. These largely single-cellular domains of life thus...
immunocompromised populations where the virus can cause systemic and even fatal infections. Indeed, we have shown that astrovirus infections are more prevalent than norovirus in our pediatric...
In contrast to other countries in Latin America, Peru had been notoriously spared by the global dissemination of carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CR-Kp) until recently. Isolated ca...

The Ebola virus disease outbreak in West Africa in 2014-2016 was the largest of its kind in history. This was the first outbreak that involved a randomized clinical trial for therapeutics, a...
To reduce the global burden diseases causes by infectious disease, including parasites and bacteria, scientists need better information about mechanisms of virulence, immune evasion, and drug...
