Medical Microbiology: the large subset of microbiology that is applied to medicine, is a branch of medical science concerned with the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of infectious diseases. This field of science also studies various clinical applications of microbes for the improvement of health.
Reproducibility refers to the ability of an experiment or study to be replicated, either by the same person or group or by others working independently. With regard to scientific public...
The HIV and AIDS pandemic ranks among the most devastating in recorded history. Substantial research efforts over the past 30 years have led to novel discoveries with respect to the vir...
While genomics has been used as a tool for research for many years, globally there is increasing momentum to deploy microbial genomics for routine public health microbiology. This technology...
Diagnostic error impacts millions of US adults and children every year1,2. Failure to order an appropriate diagnostic test and incorrect interpretation of diagnostic test results are co...
This is an exciting time for melanoma treatment, with a half-dozen new drugs approved in just over four years. This influx has brought a new complexity to the field, however, including questi...
A major goal of molecular diagnostics is to find a sensitive and specific means for detecting and quantifying DNA fragments from rare cancer cells (by virtue of an identifying somatic mutatio...
Micro RNAs (miRNAs) are small, naturally-occurring non-coding ribonucleic acids with sizes between 18 and 40 nucleotides (nts) that have been demonstrated to play a significant role in the re...

Consumer, Household, and Industrial (CH&I) formulations have increasingly driven towards more environmentally acceptable ingredients within water-based formulations, microbial control str...
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 Pharmaceutical Industry has a diverse set of products all with varying level of microbial risk to patients. On the low risk extreme there are topical pharmaceuticals on the other extreme...
Polyamines are small, mostly linear organic molecules found in almost all living cells, and are positively charged at physiological pH. As a consequence of their positive charge, polyamines b...
