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.

The genome of a pathogenic rhodococcus : cooptive virulence underpinned by key gene acquisitions [PDF]
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 KdpD/KdpE two-component system : integrating K+ homeostasis and virulence [PDF]
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 ...

Parasite variation and the evolution of virulence in a Daphnia-microparasite system
Understanding genetic relationships amongst the life-history traits of parasites is crucial for testing hypotheses on the evolution of virulence. This study therefore examined variation between parasite isolates (the bacterium Pasteuria ramosa) from the ...

No evidence of Borrelia mayonii in an endemic area for Lyme borreliosis in France
Background Borrelia mayonii is currently the latest species belonging to the Borrelia burgdorferi (sensu lato) complex to be discovered. Interestingly it is involved in human pathology causing a high fever.

Role of glucose and CcpA in capsule expression and virulence of Streptococcus suis
Streptococcus suis is one of the most important pathogens in pigs and is also an emerging zoonotic agent. After crossing the epithelial barrier, S. suis causes bacteraemia, resulting in meningitis, endocarditis and bronchopneumonia.
