Synergistic Effect of Propolis and Antibiotics on Uropathogenic Escherichia coli
Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are the most common bacterial infections around the world. Uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) is among the main pathogens isolated in UTIs.

Virulence behavior of uropathogenic Escherichia coli strains in the host model Caenorhabditis elegans [PDF]
Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are among the most common bacterial infections in humans. Although a number of bacteria can cause UTIs, most cases are due to infection by uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC).

From screen to target: insights and approaches for the development of anti-virulence compounds [PDF]
A detailed understanding of host-pathogen interactions provides exciting opportunities to interfere with the infection process. Anti-virulence compounds aim to modulate or pacify pathogenesis by reducing expression of critical virulence determinants.

Adaptation of Staphylococcus aureus in a Medium Mimicking a Diabetic Foot Environment
Staphylococcus aureus is the most prevalent pathogen isolated from diabetic foot infections (DFIs). The purpose of this study was to evaluate its behavior in an in vitro model mimicking the conditions encountered in DFI. Four clinical S.

Fungal morphogenesis and virulence [PDF]
Phenotypic variability in pathogenic fungi has long been correlated with virulence, but specific genetic and molecular mechanisms are only recently being unraveled. Fungal morphogenesis, reflecting the expression of several regulated genes, and the capacity of the rising forms or phases to cause disease has been focused on at the XIVth Congress of the ...

Food availability and competition do not modulate the costs of Plasmodium infection in dominant male canaries [PDF]
Understanding the different factors that may influence parasite virulence is of fundamental interest to ecologists and evolutionary biologists. It has recently been demonstrated that parasite virulence may occur partly through manipulation of host ...

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.
