Candida albicans—The Virulence Factors and Clinical Manifestations of Infection
Journal of Fungi, 2021 Candida albicans is a common commensal fungus that colonizes the oropharyngeal cavity, gastrointestinal and vaginal tract, and healthy individuals’ skin. In 50% of the population, C. albicans is part of the normal flora of the microbiota.

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.

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

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

Infection strategies of mycoplasmas: Unraveling the panoply of virulence factors
Virulence, 2021 Mycoplasmas, the smallest bacteria lacking a cell wall, can cause various diseases in both humans and animals. Mycoplasmas harbor a variety of virulence factors that enable them to overcome numerous barriers of entry into the host; using accessory ...

Role of glucose and CcpA in capsule expression and virulence of Streptococcus suis [PDF]
, 2011 Streptococcus suis is one of the most important pathogens in pigs and is also an emerging zoonotic agent. After crossing the epithelial barrier, S. suis causes bacteraemia, resulting in meningitis, endocarditis and bronchopneumonia.
