Predicting the virulence of MRSA from its genome sequence [PDF]
This work is supported by the EC-FP7 program no. 245500 and the BBSRCMicrobial virulence is a complex and often multifactorial phenotype, intricately linked to a pathogen's evolutionary trajectory.

Toward Mycobacterium tuberculosis Virulence Inhibition: Beyond Cell Wall
Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) is one of the most successful bacterial pathogens in human history. Even in the antibiotic era, Mtb is widespread and causes millions of new cases of tuberculosis each year.

The Viral Replication Complex Is Associated with the Virulence of Newcastle Disease Virus [PDF]
Virulent strains of Newcastle disease virus ([NDV] also known as avian paramyxovirus type 1) can be discriminated from low-virulence strains by the presence of multiple basic amino acid residues at the proteolytic cleavage site of the fusion (F) protein.

Molecular Targets in Streptococcus pyogenes for the Development of Anti-Virulence Agents. [PDF]
Streptococcus pyogenes, commonly known as Group A Streptococcus (GAS), is a significant human pathogen responsible for a wide range of diseases, from mild pharyngitis to severe conditions such as necrotizing fasciitis and toxic shock syndrome. The increasing antibiotic resistance, especially against macrolide antibiotics, poses a challenge to the ...

Selection of virulence-associated determinants of Streptococcus suis serotype 2 by in vivo complementation [PDF]
Within Streptococcus suis serotype 2, pathogenic, weakly pathogenic, and nonpathogenic strains can be found. We introduced a genomic library of a pathogenic strain into a weakly pathogenic strain.

A Genome-Wide Association Study Identifies Genomic Regions for Virulence in the Non-Model Organism Heterobasidion annosum ss [PDF]
The dense single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) panels needed for genome wide association (GWA) studies have hitherto been expensive to establish and use on non-model organisms.
