Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans : virulence of its leukotoxin and association with aggressive periodontitis [PDF]

, 2015
Periodontitis is an infection-induced inflammatory disease that causes loss of the tooth supporting tissues. Much focus has been put on comparison of the microbial biofilm in the healthy periodontium with the diseased one.

Extensive genomic diversity and selective conservation of virulence determinants in enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli strains of O157 and non O157 serotypes [PDF]

, 2007
Background: Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) O157 causes severe food-borne illness in humans. The chromosome of O157 consists of 4.1 Mb backbone sequences shared by benign E.

Role of RelA and SpoT in Burkholderia pseudomallei Virulence and Immunity [PDF]

, 2012
Burkholderia pseudomallei is a Gram-negative soil bacterium and the causative agent of melioidosis, a disease of humans and animals. It is also listed as a category B bioterrorism threat agent by the U.S.

Heterogeneity in ess transcriptional organization and variable contribution of the Ess/Type VII protein secretion system to virulence across closely related Staphylocccus aureus strains [PDF]

, 2014
The Type VII protein secretion system, found in Gram-positive bacteria, secretes small proteins, containing a conserved W-x-G amino acid sequence motif, to the growth medium.

CTX-M-15/27-positive Escherichia coli and VIM-2-producing Pseudomonas putida in free-living pigeons (Columba livia) in Tunisia

Journal of Global Antimicrobial Resistance
Objectives: Wild birds are vectors of antimicrobial resistance. Birds living in close contact with humans or other animals, like feral pigeons (Columba livia), might be especially prone to acquire resistance genes such as those encoding extended-spectrum

Parasite genetic diversity does not influence TNF-mediated effects on the virulence of primary rodent malaria infections [PDF]

, 2006
The pro-inflammatory cytokine tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) is associated with malaria virulence (disease severity) in both rodents and humans.

Successful implementation of infection control measure in a neonatal intensive care unit to combat the spread of pathogenic multidrug resistant Staphylococcus capitis

Antimicrobial Resistance and Infection Control, 2019
Background Once present in a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), multidrug resistant Staphylococcus capitis NRCS-A is able to settle and diffuse. Objective The objective of this study was to evaluate the impact of infection control (IC) interventions to
