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.

Clonal Origin, Virulence Factors, and Virulence [PDF]
Infection and Immunity, 2000 The recent report from Picard et al. regarding extraintestinal Escherichia coli infections provides new insights into the relationships between clonal origin, virulence factor repertoire, and virulence (1). That clonal origin was only secondarily associated with virulence in this study was suggested by the finding that although mouse lethality was more
