| Abstract |
Pathogenic microorganisms, particularly pathogenic bacteria that cause debilitating diseases, are considered a threat for human health and well-being. Infectious diseases are rampant, particularly in developing countries. However, there are many other deadly diseases, such as cancer, diabetes, cardiac malfunction, etc., that account for significant loss of life and trauma in our society. In this article, I try to describe the role certain bacterial pathogens with long term residence in the human body can play in providing us with our next generation anticancer and other drugs, demonstrating that a certain amount of good can come out of such bacterial pathogens as well. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 05 August 2014.
All research outputs
#20,233,547
of 22,759,618 outputs
Outputs from Advances in experimental medicine and biology
#3,953
of 4,926 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#189,593
of 220,974 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Advances in experimental medicine and biology
#21
of 30 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,759,618 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 4,926 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 6.0. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 220,974 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 30 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
