Clonal Origin, Virulence Factors, and Virulence [PDF]

open access: yesInfection 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

The pathogenicity and virulence of Leishmania - interplay of virulence factors with host defenses

open access: yesVirulence, 2022
Leishmaniasis is a group of disease caused by the intracellular protozoan parasite of the genus Leishmania. Infection by different species of Leishmania results in various host immune responses, which usually lead to parasite clearance and may also ...
