Predicting the virulence of MRSA from its genome sequence [PDF]
, 2014 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.

Structural characterisation of the virulence-associated protein VapG from the horse pathogen Rhodococcus equi [PDF]
, 2015 Virulence and host range in Rhodococcus equi depends on the variable pathogenicity island of their virulence plasmids. Notable gene products are a family of small secreted virulence-associated proteins (Vaps) that are critical to intramacrophagic ...

The genome of a pathogenic rhodococcus : cooptive virulence underpinned by key gene acquisitions [PDF]
, 2010 We report the genome of the facultative intracellular parasite Rhodococcus equi, the only animal pathogen within the biotechnologically important actinobacterial genus Rhodococcus. The 5.0-Mb R.

The Viral Replication Complex Is Associated with the Virulence of Newcastle Disease Virus [PDF]
, 2010 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.

The KdpD/KdpE two-component system : integrating K+ homeostasis and virulence [PDF]
, 2013 The two-component system (TCS) KdpD/KdpE, extensively studied for its regulatory role in potassium (K+) transport, has more recently been identified as an adaptive regulator involved in the virulence and intracellular survival of pathogenic bacteria ...

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.

Développement de résistances chez les animaux alors que l’antibiotique ne leur a pas été administré
Comptes Rendus Biologies, 2023 The fight against antibiotic resistance in the animal sector over the last ten years in France (Ecoantibio plans) has largely focused on reducing the veterinary use of antibiotics.

Selection of virulence-associated determinants of Streptococcus suis serotype 2 by in vivo complementation [PDF]
, 2001 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.
