  • Dr. Denning] Antibacterial resistance is caused by many different things, but one of them, for example, is using antibacterials in food for animals to improve the growth of animals, which is clearly unhelpful if they're antimicrobials that lead to resistance of human pathogens. (cdc.gov)
  • There are 18 H types and 11 NA types, giving 198 possible combinations, but only a few are human pathogens. (msdmanuals.com)

  • In chronically hypoxic rats, however, the airway smooth muscle appears to be more sensitive to nitric oxide than control rats, which may explain why contractile responses are significantly smaller in the chronically hypoxic rats. (gla.ac.uk)
