Virulence Factors in Anaerobes
Clinical Infectious Diseases, 1994Among the broad spectrum of species of anaerobic bacteria in the normal flora of humans, a few exhibit marked pathogenic potential and are responsible for the majority of infections. The factors that determine the virulence of particular species are varied and probably interrelated.

Virulence factors of urinary pathogens
Clinical Science, 1986Despite the widespread use of antibiotics urinary tract infections (UTI) remain among the most common bacterial infections in the human population. About 5% of adult females are likely to have a UTI at any moment in time, while more than 50% of all women will experience a UTI at some stage in their lives [l].

Virulence Factors in Candida species
Current Protein & Peptide Science, 2020:Fungal diseases are severe and have very high morbidity as well as up to 60% mortality for patients diagnosed with invasive fungal infection. In this review, in vitro and in vivo studies provided us with the insight into the role of Candida virulence factors that mediate their success as pathogens, such as: membrane and cell wall (CW) barriers ...

Pathogens, such as bacteria, viruses, protozoa and fungi, generate molecules that provide them with a selective advantage, often at the expense of the host. These molecules, or virulence factors, enable pathogens to colonize the host through several mechanisms.

Virulence Factors of Clostridium difficile
Clinical Infectious Diseases, 1990In addition to the two major toxins of Clostridium difficile--toxins A and B, which represent the major virulence factors--a number of other putative virulence factors have been described. These factors include fimbriae and the ability to associate with gut cells/mucus, the production of a capsule, the secretion of a range of hydrolytic enzymes, the ...

Virulence Factors of Clostridium perfringens
Clinical Infectious Diseases, 1979Clostridium perfringens produces a variety of virulence factors. The mechanism of action of these factors usually falls into one of three groups. Some of these virulence factors, such as the alpha toxin, which is phospholipase C, and the kappa toxin, which is a collagenase, are enzymes that hydrolyze substances essential to the integrity of membranes ...

Immunoevasive Aspergillus Virulence Factors
Mycopathologia, 2014Individuals with structural lung disease or defective immunity are predisposed to Aspergillus-associated disease. Manifestations range from allergic to cavitary or angio-invasive syndromes. Despite daily spore inhalation, immunocompetence facilitates clearance through initiation of innate and adaptive host responses.

Virulence factors of Mycobacterium bovis
Tuberculosis, 2001Virulence factors of Mycobacterium bovis are the special properties that enable it to infect, survive, multiply and cause disease in an animal host. An understanding of these factors will lead to new strategies including an effective vaccine to control bovine tuberculosis.

Virulence factors in anaerobic bacteri
European Journal of Clinical Microbiology & Infectious Diseases, 1992Various surface structures can be expressed in Bacteroides fragilis, but little is known about capsular structures in other non-spore-forming anaerobes. Fimbriae have been isolated from Bacteroides fragilis and Porphyromonas gingivalis. The importance of iron-repressible outer membrane proteins as virulence factors in Bacteroides fragilis is under ...

Virulence factors of Candida albicans
Trends in Microbiology, 2001Candidiasis is a common infection of the skin, oral cavity and esophagus, gastrointestinal tract, vagina and vascular system of humans. Although most infections occur in patients who are immunocompromised or debilitated in some other way, the organism most often responsible for disease, Candida albicans, expresses several virulence factors that ...
