Deletion of the Zinc Transporter Lipoprotein AdcAII Causes Hyperencapsulation of Streptococcus pneumoniae Associated with Distinct Alleles of the Type I Restriction-Modification System. [PDF]
, 2020 The capsule is the dominant Streptococcus pneumoniae virulence factor, yet how variation in capsule thickness is regulated is poorly understood. Here, we describe an unexpected relationship between mutation of adcAII, which encodes a zinc uptake ...

Differential Virulence by Strains of Cucumber mosaic virus is Mediated by the 2b Gene
Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions, 2002 The approximately 12-kDa 2b protein, encoded by all cucumoviruses, had been shown to play an important role in viral long-distance movement, hypervirulence, and suppression of post-transcriptional gene silencing.

A Potential High-Risk Clone of Pseudomonas aeruginosa ST463
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021 Pseudomonas aeruginosa is one of the most common opportunistic pathogens, which causes severe nosocomial infections because of its well-known multidrug-resistance and hypervirulence. It is critical to curate routinely the epidemic P.

Tracking key virulence loci encoding aerobactin and salmochelin siderophore synthesis in Klebsiella pneumoniae. [PDF]
, 2018 BACKGROUND: Klebsiella pneumoniae is a recognised agent of multidrug-resistant (MDR) healthcare-associated infections; however, individual strains vary in their virulence potential due to the presence of mobile accessory genes.

Occurrence of colistin-resistant hypervirulent Klebsiella variicola [PDF]
Journal of Antimicrobial Chemotherapy, 2018 A colistin-resistant mucoid Klebsiella strain was recovered from the blood of a patient in China. Hypervirulence has been reported in Klebsiella pneumoniae, but not in other Klebsiella spp. The strain was suspected to be hypervirulent and was therefore characterized.The strain was subjected to genome sequencing using both the short-read Illumina HiSeq ...

Microevolutionary traits and comparative population genomics of the emerging pathogenic fungus Cryptococcus gattii [PDF]
, 2016 Emerging fungal pathogens cause an expanding burden of disease across the animal kingdom, including a rise in morbidity and mortality in humans. Yet, we currently have only a limited repertoire of available therapeutic interventions.
