nitrates and Infections

nitrates has been researched along with Infections in 12 studies

Nitrates: Inorganic or organic salts and esters of nitric acid. These compounds contain the NO3- radical.

Infections: Invasion of the host organism by microorganisms or their toxins or by parasites that can cause pathological conditions or diseases.
