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 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 ...

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.
