1
The outer membrane is a key virulence determinant of gram-negative bacteria.
2
The mechanisms and key virulence factors by which SDSE causes invasive diseases are poorly understood.
3
Our discovery provides new insight into the design and development of novel anti-virulence therapies targeting key virulence factors of bacterial pathogens.
4
Pigeon guano supported the growth of both species, and a brown pigment related to melanin, a key virulence factor, was produced.
5
In some clinically relevant bacteria, such as Pseudomonas spp., several key virulence determinants can readily be identified among the Tat substrates.
6
Our phylogenetic analyses suggest multiple acquisitions of the SCCmec element and key virulence factors throughout the evolution of the ST45 lineage.
7
Production of a polysaccharide capsule is a key virulence property for the fungus and capsule synthesis is regulated by iron levels.
8
The coordination of these key virulence factors could provide new insights on how S. mutans may have become a major cariogenic pathogen.
9
When grown in human saliva, a nutrient-limited environment, CcpA influenced production of several key virulence factors not influenced during growth in nutrient-rich medium.
10
Overall, these data suggest that the virulence differences between these species are not solely due to the functionality of these key virulence factors.
11
Amino acid structure of the mutant H5N1's modified protein; the positions of four key virulence-increasing mutations are noted.
12
We found that DTPA not only reduces drug resistance but also modulates morphogenesis, a key virulence trait that is normally regulated by environmental cues.
