The Caenorhabditis elegans assay: a tool to evaluate the pathogenic potential of bacterial biocontrol agents
2009-11-01
Abstract excerpt
Bacterial biocontrol agents (BCAs) open up the possibility of controlling plant pathogens in an environmentally friendly way. Although they are naturally occurring microbes, some of them can cause diseases in humans. For successful registration it is necessary to test potentially adverse effects on the human health of at-risk candidates. Existing pathogenicity assays are cost-intensive, time-consuming and furtherm...
