Virulence behavior of uropathogenic Escherichia coli strains in the host model Caenorhabditis elegans [PDF]
, 2018 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).

Staphylococcus aureus temperate bacteriophage: carriage and horizontal gene transfer is lineage associated. [PDF]
, 2012 Staphylococcus aureus is a major cause of human and animal infections. Bacteriophage are a class of mobile genetic element (MGE) that carry virulence genes and disseminate them horizontally, including Panton-Valentine leukocidin (PVL), the immune evasion

Synergistic Effect of Propolis and Antibiotics on Uropathogenic Escherichia coli
Antibiotics, 2020 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.

Food availability and competition do not modulate the costs of Plasmodium infection in dominant male canaries [PDF]
, 2013 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 ...

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.

The context-specificity of virulence evolution revealed through evolutionary invasion analysis [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Models are often employed to integrate knowledge about epidemics across scales and simulate disease dynamics. While these approaches have played a central role in studying the mechanics underlying epidemics, we lack ways to reliably predict how the relationship between virulence (the harm to hosts caused by an infection) and transmission will evolve in

Adaptation of Staphylococcus aureus in a Medium Mimicking a Diabetic Foot Environment
Toxins, 2021 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.
