Understanding the diversity and evolution of bacterial pathogens and their virulence factors is critical in combating infectious diseases. Recent developments in genomics and molecular biology have ...

In bacteria, these groups are called pathogenicity ... Having considered some of the virulence factors encoded by E. coli, take another look at Figure 1. The second-largest circle illustrates ...

Both virulence factors and antibiotic resistance determinants are commonly encoded in mobilizable genetic elements, which has favored their dissemination and the emergence of highly virulent and ...

Experimentally verified virulence factor genes from the Virulence Factor Database (VFDB ... Genes were selected for which at least five different bacterial species were available. Multiple sequence ...

The complement system and neutrophils constitute the two main pillars of the host innate immune defense against infection by bacterial pathogens. Here, we identify T-Mac, a novel virulence factor of ...

Historically developed ecological factors play an essential role ... for a minimal correction in evaluating the virulence in ...

Water testing for Campylobacter jejuni, linked to Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS) cases in Pune, found no bacteria in the water ...

Finally, an approach combining the detection of pathogens, their mechanisms of antibiotic resistance, their virulence factors and bacterial load in clinical samples could lead to profound changes ...

Elimination of this gene did not reduce the bacteria's virulence, however. This time, the whole genome sequencing revealed that P. rustigianii also possesses a virulence factor called the type III ...
