Some of those bacteria go on to form the stable populations called commensals that include S. aureus and other benign varieties of staph, and that most of the time coexist in harmony with their human hosts in a state called colonization. ❋ MARYN MCKENNA (2010)
Our bodies naturally have bacteria called commensals all over them. ❋ Unknown (2010)
A person normally has 300 to 500 species of beneficial bacteria, known as commensals, in their intestines. ❋ Unknown (2008)
Probably long ago, as some forms of urts became commensals with human beings, so, too, some humans may have become commensals, traveling companions, sharers at the same table, so to speak, with the migratory urt packs. ❋ Unknown (2010)
Ai visits Orgoreyn, hoping to have more luck with its “commensals”. ❋ Unknown (2009)
AbstractMadeira is a small volcanic island in the Atlantic Ocean with steep mountains separating narrow valleys that are the only areas habitable by humans and their commensals. ❋ Unknown (2009)
Since the commensals had claimed Ai had died of a virulent fever, his miraculous return should be enough to provoke the king of Karhide into inviting the Ekumen ambassadors to Gethen. ❋ Unknown (2009)
Some commensals of humans, such as vultures, were still present into the mid-1960s but have since vanished. ❋ Unknown (2008)
In view of these problems and others, those workers supporting the wolf hypothesis have argued that wolves domesticated themselves: by scavenging around camps and villages they became human commensals and eventually evolved into pariah dogs. ❋ Darren Naish (2006)
Notably, those carnivoran species that have become human commensals are all generalized omnivores smaller than most wolves: raccoons Procyon lotor, Red foxes Vulpes vulpes, Golden jackals Canis aureus and coyotes C. latrans. ❋ Darren Naish (2006)
I was told that the bacteria were either contaminants or harmless commensals. ❋ Unknown (2006)
Around this tragic central figure are grouped the commensals of the ❋ Unknown (2003)
Eugregarines are frequently encountered as commensals in the digestive tract of insects. ❋ Unknown (1994)
More detailed analysis of the plant-community reveals very considerable distinctions among commensals. ❋ Robert Ezra Park (1926)
_ -- When a plant-community consists solely of individuals belonging to one species -- for example, solely of beech, ling, or Aira flexuosa -- then we have the purest example of like commensals. ❋ Robert Ezra Park (1926)
