Antiseptic Agents for Chronic Wounds: A Systematic Review
Antibiotics, 2022 In many parts of the world, antiseptic agents remain non-indicated in chronic wound care. In the current context of bacterial resistance to antibiotics and the development of new-generation antiseptic agents, wound antisepsis represents an asset for the ...

Evolution, 1994 Why do parasites harm their hosts? Intuition suggests that parasites should evolve to be benign whenever the host is needed for transmission. Yet a growing theoretical literature offers several models to explain why natural selection may favor virulent parasites over avirulent ones.

Bacterial Interactions in the Context of Chronic Wound Biofilm: A Review
Microorganisms, 2022 Chronic wounds, defined by their resistance to care after four weeks, are a major concern, affecting millions of patients every year. They can be divided into three types of lesions: diabetic foot ulcers (DFU), pressure ulcers (PU), and venous/arterial ...

Comparative genomics and transcriptomics of Escherichia coli isolates carrying virulence factors of both enteropathogenic and enterotoxigenic E. coli [PDF]
, 2017 Escherichia coli that are capable of causing human disease are often classified into pathogenic variants (pathovars) based on their virulence gene content. However, disease-associated hybrid E.

Virulence Attributes of Low‐Virulence Organisms [PDF]
Infectious Diseases in Obstetrics and Gynecology, 1994 The vast majority of infections involving female pelvic structures arise from organisms that are members of the normal flora. In addition, exogenous organisms that invade through the lower genital tract must interact with organisms that are part of the host′s flora.

Effect of efflux pump inhibition on Pseudomonas aeruginosa transcriptome and virulence [PDF]
, 2017 Efflux pumps of the resistance-nodulation-cell-division (RND) family increase antibiotic resistance in many bacterial pathogens, representing candidate targets for the development of antibiotic adjuvants.

Virulence and Metabolism [PDF]
Microbiology Spectrum, 2019 ABSTRACT Staphylococcus aureus is clearly the most pathogenic member of the Staphylococcaceae . This is in large part due to the acquisition of an impressive arsenal of virulence factors that are coordinately regulated by a series of dedicated transcription factors.

Biofilms in Diabetic Foot Ulcers: Significance and Clinical Relevance
Microorganisms, 2020 Foot infections are the main disabling complication in patients with diabetes mellitus. These infections can lead to lower-limb amputation, increasing mortality and decreasing the quality of life. Biofilm formation is an important pathophysiology step in

Passaging of a Newcastle disease virus pigeon variant in chickens results in selection of viruses with mutations in the polymerase complex enhancing virus replication and virulence [PDF]
, 2010 Some Newcastle disease virus (NDV) variants isolated from pigeons (pigeon paramyxovirus type 1; PPMV-1) do not show their full virulence potential for domestic chickens but may become virulent upon spread in these animals.
