Biological agents bacteria

Biological Agents BACTERIA (Anthrax, Brucellosis, Cholera, Plague, Tularemia). VIRUSES (Crimean-Congo Hemorrhagic Fever, Rift Valley Fever, Smallpox, Venezuelan Equine Encephalitis (VEE), Viral Hemorrhagic Fever (Ebola)). TOXINS (Botulinum, Ricin, Staphylococcal Enterotoxin B (SEB), Trichothecene Mycotoxins/T-2). 

Biological agent Bacteria, vims, or toxin designed for use as a weapon. 

While the monitoring of infectious biological agents (bacteria and viruses) using DNA probe array technology is well known, many of the applications involve identification of allele-specific targets. Conversely, examining... 

Bioterrorism is terrorism by intentional (occasionally accidental) release of biological agents (bacteria, viruses, or toxins these may be in a naturally occurring status or undergone specific manipulations. 

Irritating substances — Skin conditions such as dermatitis can be caused by contact with chemicals and biological agents (bacteria, fungi, and viruses). Chemicals and toxic substances can also enter the blood stream through abrasions or cuts. 

It should be noted that a toxic substance or harmful physical agent may include any chemical substance, biological agent (bacteria, virus, fungus, etc.), or physical stress (noise, heat, cold, vibration, repetitive motion, ionizing and non-ionizing radiation, hypo- or h5q)erbaric pressure, etc.), as defined in the standard. 

Biological agents. Bacteria may survive in or out of the body depending on whether they can form spores (e.g. anthrax). Vimses are dependent on invading the cell and using the intracellular apparatus for their survival. Both bacteria and vimses are very susceptible to physical factors when outside the body host (e.g. heat and light)... 

Biologic agents Viruses, bacteria, fungi, higher forms of parasites. 

Pathogen Biological agents that are disease-producing microorganisms, such as bacteria, mycoplasma, rickettsia, fungi, or viruses. 

The term biocolloids or biosolids is frequently applied to microbes in solution. Bacteria, algae, protozoans, and many other biological agents present in the aqueous phase can be considered to exhibit colloidal behavior [114-124]. Insofar as these species are able to sorb pollutants like other colloids, the distinction between living and nonliving colloids is relatively unimportant. It is also known that biological exudates or subcellular fragments may exist in colloidal solution [124]. 

Introduce biological agents to the spill to hasten biodegradation. Most of the components of oil washed up along a shoreline can be broken down by bacteria and other microorganisms into harmless substances such as fatty acids and carbon dioxide. This action is called biodegradation. Oil... 

Biological Agents Microorganisms (e.g., bacteria or certain nutrients) added to the water column or soil to increase the rate of biodegradation of contaminants.
