Destroy the pathogens

The Act on Transport of Dangerous Goods (SFS 1982 821) regulates i.a. transhipment through Swedish territory and domestic transfers of certain human pathogens, animal zoonotic pathogens, plant pathogens, dual use equipment.

It could be anti bacterial.

But it's not bacterial pneumonia.

This is the bacterial Esperanto.

We share in common the same pathogens.

When humans began to move out of Africa, they carried some of their pathogens to new areas, where they switched over to native hosts while native pathogens took up residence in the newly arrived humans. Agriculture and urbanization subsequently exposed us to yet more pathogens.

This is now supposed to be my bacterial cell.

Also, there is evidence that combating deforestation stems the spread of harmful pathogens.

So, 10 times more bacterial cells than human cells on a human being.

United Nations inspectors found no evidence that Iraq produced dry bacterial warfare agents.

We dispose of our waste properly, we follow safety procedures, we don't work with pathogens.

And along comes pneumococcus or another bacteria, streptococcus and boom, they get a bacterial pneumonia.

So our team developed new techniques for actually growing, cloning entire bacterial chromosomes in yeast.

More than 50 of the species on this planet are parasites of some form, including pathogens affecting humans, livestock, crops, and wildlife. But, relative to our overall knowledge of biodiversity, we have documented less than 10 of the world s pathogens.

The panel recommended that if there is an intention to include other biological agents capable of being developed as economic weapons, then certain animal pathogens should be included, as well as plant pathogens and some pests of high socio economic importance.

From the dust, we pulled out bacterial cells, broke them open, and compared their gene sequences.

So, we pushed the piles down through the dune, and we create an initial bacterial surface.

They either pop the bacterial membrane, they make the bacterium so it can't replicate its DNA.

Carole Lartigue led the effort to actually transplant a bacterial chromosome from one bacteria to another.

Nathan Wolfe This species, yeah. And there's many many more pathogens that are present in these animals.

It's called BLIS, and it's been shown to both ward off pathogens and give you good breath.

Remember you have these 10 times or more bacterial cells in you or on you, keeping you healthy.

I mean, if this would require thousands of years, then it's worthless in terms of controlling of these pathogens.

And so far in the H5N1 cases in people, similarly bacterial infection has not been an issue at all.

Decades later, it turned out that the source of their blindness was most likely some sort of bacterial infection.

But now moving from bacterial engineering to tissue engineering, let me show you what's happened in that period of time.

An example of an organism or two that happens to be quite immortal would be plant seeds or bacterial spores.

What you're looking at is a signature of bacterial communities in the outdoor air, and how they vary over time.

I know you think of yourself as human beings, but I think of you as 90 or 99 percent bacterial.

It's an amazing step forward, but we had a problem because now we had the bacterial chromosomes growing in yeast.

As was subsequently explained by Iraq, it produced liquid bacterial biological warfare agents accepting a moderate risk of airborne contamination.

And they just wiped out these pathogens just wiped out the native people, who had no immunity to them at all.

We're here today to announce the first synthetic cell, a cell made by starting with the digital code in the computer, building the chromosome from four bottles of chemicals, assembling that chromosome in yeast, transplanting it into a recipient bacterial cell and transforming that cell into a new bacterial species.

So, what we're doing is just printing DNA on glass little flat things and these are going to be markers for pathogens.

We face a potential crisis, therefore, that stems from our fundamental ignorance about the biosphere, for it is impossible to be proactive about species of pathogens whose existence has not been documented. This makes many pathogens evolutionary land mines awaiting us as we relocate to novel habitats, move species around, and alter existing ecosystems.

The entries in these lists encompass many micro organisms with low human pathogenicity, most animal and plant pathogens and a variety of simulants.

Our researchers are interacting with this data by injecting bacterial code, which are computer programs, that allow these creatures to grow over time.

Well it turns out you have 100 times more bacterial genes playing a role in you or on you all of your life.

And when they're transmitted through the water, unlike the first two modes of transmission, these pathogens don't rely on a healthy host for transmission.

The only pathogens that get transmitted are the ones that are infecting people that feel healthy enough to walk outside and get mosquito bites.

These have disappeared from every inhabited reef in the world, and they filter the water they keep the water clean from microbes and pathogens.

Bacterial cellulose is actually already being used for wound healing, and possibly in the future for biocompatible blood vessels, possibly even replacement bone tissue.

This worked well for most pathogens, somewhat well for crafty bugs like flu, but not at all for HIV, for which humans have no natural immunity.

You don't have to heat them up as hot as you would something you do pressure canning because bacterial spores can't grow in the acid.
