or genes that promote the pathogen's survival once it gains entry. Having considered some of the virulence factors encoded by E. coli, take another look at Figure 1. The second-largest circle ...

Virulence in pathogenic microbes changes under the influence of natural conditions. It can be increased by a sequence of ...

近日，刊登在国际著名杂志PLoS Pathogens上的一篇研究报告“Genome-Wide Identification of Pseudomonas aeruginosa Virulence-Related Genes Using a Caenorhabditis elegans Infection Model”揭示了美国哈佛医学院研究者的最新研究结果，在报告中，研究者用秀丽线虫感染模型 ...

The fungus that causes coffee wilt disease repeatedly took up segments of DNA from a related fungal pathogen, which ...

Thanks to technological advancements in nucleic acid sequencing and the shift toward molecular research and personalized ...

With a large arsenal of virulence factors, known as secretion systems, the pathogen specifically attacks and invades the goblet cells, replicates inside the cells and ultimately kills them. The burst ...

A new study finds that two subtypes of pathogenic Escherichia coli (E. coli) produce five to 16 times more protective capsular “slime” when Enterococcus faecalis (EF) is present. The finding could ...
