In situ Immune Signatures and Microbial Load at the Nasopharyngeal Interface in Children With Acute Respiratory Infection.

abstract：:Xylenes are considered one of the most common hazardous sources of environmental contamination. The biodegradation of these compounds has been often reported, rarer the ability to oxidize the ortho-isomer. Among few o-xylene-degrading bacteria, Rhodococcus opacus R7 is well known for its capability to degrade diverse ...
