Virulence is a multifactorial property of pathogens that involves their ability to infect mucosal surfaces, enter host cells, multiply in vivo, interfere with or avoid host defenses, and/or damage host cells. In our experience the concepts of virulence and its determinants have not been well ...
Influenza Virus Virulence and Its Molecular Determinants This chapter discusses what is currently known about how individual influenza A virus-encoded proteins and their interactions with host factors contribute to human virulence. It also discusses several functional interactions between infl... DL Noah,...
Several Campylobacter jejunjvirulence determinants have been identified. Flagel la-mediated motility, bacterial adherence to intestinal mucosa, invasive capability and the ability to produce toxins have been proposed as virulence determinants. To obtain more information concerning the contribution of the ...
Previously, we reported that an H5N1 virus bearing the Venus reporter gene became more pathogenic to mice and that its reporter gene was more highly expressed and more stably maintained after mouse adaptation. Here, we investigated the molecular determinants behind this enhanced virulence and reporter...
However, these factors merely may be genetically linked to true virulence determinants and irrelevant to UTI. One of the best-accepted methods to distinguish between these alternatives is to create a strain that has a specific mutation in a gene encoding a putative virulence factor and test this ...
Virulence determinants are crucial to the risk assessment of pathogens in an environment. This study investigated the presence of eleven key virulence-associated genes in Vibrio cholerae (n = 111) and Vibrio mimicus (n = 22) and eight virulen
[58]. Therefore,H. pylorimay simultaneously enhance its virulence through exposure to clarithromycin [59]. To combat the emergence and spread of both virulence and resistance in bacteria, it is critical to promote responsible antibiotic use, implement infection prevention measures, monitor resistance ...
Virulence determinants Several putative virulence factors have been identified in EAEC (Table 8.1), including enterotoxins and cytotoxins, secreted proteins and many more. The virulence factors so far described are encoded either on the large virulence plasmid of EAEC called pAA, or on the chromosome...
Pink snow mold, caused by a phytopathogenic and psychrotolerant fungus, Microdochium nivale, is a severe disease of winter cereals and grasses that predominantly occurs under snow cover or shortly after its melt. Snow mold has significantly progressed du
