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 ...

Zoonotic diseases, also known as zoonoses, bridge the gap between animal and human health, marking a prominent area of concern for global public health.

The growing antimicrobial crisis threatens modern medicine, as the world grapples with rising antibiotic resistance and a ...

V. Brown and colleagues established that virulent bacteria produce a special substance in the host body which stimulates their growth and destroys the non-virulent types of these bacteria.

A new multi-institutional study led by King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) and the Saudi Ministry of ...

Various bacterial virulence factors are associated with the development of such gastric diseases, and the characterization of these markers could aid medical prognosis, which could be extremely ...

aureus resistant to antibiotics (e.g. MRSA) has become a significant public health problem. Genes encoding virulence factors in these bacteria are frequently carried on mobile genetic elements, such ...

Genetic sequencing showed that all Klebsiella bacteria with total resistance examined by the researchers carried the genes that make them more virulent. “In many cases, bacteria lose their ...

Classical evolutionary theory states that virulence evolves to maximize a pathogen's basic reproduction ratio, i.e., the average number of secondary infections caused by one infected host.

The lysogenic cycle, or non-virulent infection, involves the virus assimilating its genome with the host cell’s genome to achieve replication without killing the host. Bacteriophage (phage) are ...

The laboratory of Kirsten Nielsen in the Center for One Health Research has taken a step toward improved treatment of Cryptococcus, completing a six-year study to examine the virulence of 38 ...
