Virulence factors of Haemophilus ducreyi [PDF]
Infection and Immunity, 1984 We investigated the susceptibility of virulent and avirulent strains of Haemophilus ducreyi to the bactericidal activity of normal human serum and to phagocytosis and killing by human polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNL). Strains were defined as virulent if intradermal inoculation into a rabbit produced a typical necrotic lesion.

Multiplex-PCR-Based Screening and Computational Modeling of Virulence Factors and T-Cell Mediated Immunity in Helicobacter pylori Infections for Accurate Clinical Diagnosis. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 The outcome of H. pylori infection is closely related with bacteria's virulence factors and host immune response. The association between T cells and H. pylori infection has been identified, but the effects of the nine major H.

Virulence Factors of Sporothrix schenckii
Journal of Fungi, 2022 Sporothrix schenckii is one of the etiological agents of sporotrichosis. In this review, we discuss the virulence factors that have been proven to participate in the S. schenckii-host interaction.

Phenotypic Detection of Virulence Factors of Uropathogenic Enterobacteriaceae
Journal of Pure and Applied Microbiology, 2023 Members of the family Enterobacteriaceae are the major cause of nosocomial infections, including approximately 70% of gastrointestinal infections, 60% to 70% of urinary tract infections (UTIs), and septicemias.

Evolution of Helicobacter spp: variability of virulence factors and their relationship to pathogenicity [PDF]
PeerJ, 2022 Background Virulence factors (VF) are bacteria-associated molecules that assist to colonize the host at the cellular level. Bacterial virulence is highly dynamic and specific pathogens have a broad array of VFs.
