Breaking the bad: Bacillus blocks fungal virulence factors
Microbial Cell, 2017 Fungal pathogens rely on the production of specific virulence factors during infection. Inhibiting such factors generally results in reduced fungal pathogenicity.

Granzyme B Attenuates Bacterial Virulence by Targeting Secreted Factors
iScience, 2020 Summary: Pathogenic bacteria secrete virulence factors that interact with the human host to establish infections. The human immune system evolved multiple mechanisms to fight bacterial invaders, including immune proteases that were demonstrated to ...

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2022 The uptake of cholesterol from the host is closely linked to the proliferation of pathogenic fungi and protozoa during infection. For some pathogenic fungi, cholesterol uptake is an important strategy for decreasing susceptibility to antifungals that ...

Escherichia coli virulence factors [PDF]
Veterinary Immunology and Immunopathology, 2011 Escherichia coli was described in 1885 by a German pediatrician, Theodor Escherich, in the faeces of a child suffering diarrhoea. In 1893, a Danish veterinarian postulated that the E. coli species comprises different strains, some being pathogens, others not. Today the E.

H. pylori virulence factors [PDF]
British Medical Bulletin, 1998 Among people infected with Helicobacter pylori, the virulence of the infecting strain is a major determinant of who develops disease. Strains producing vacuolating cytotoxin activity are more commonly isolated from people with peptic ulcers than without.

Aspergillus fumigatus Fumagillin Contributes to Host Cell Damage
Journal of Fungi, 2021 The activity of fumagillin, a mycotoxin produced by Aspergillus fumigatus, has not been studied in depth. In this study, we used a commercial fumagillin on cultures of two cell types (A549 pneumocytes and RAW 264.7 macrophages).
