Secreted Nonstructural Protein 3 is a Pathogenic Determinant of Orbivirus
Advanced Science, EarlyView.This study uncovers a conserved PIP2‐dependent secretory pathway of orbivirus NS3 that induces vascular leakage. Pharmacological disruption of PIP2‐NS3 interaction significantly reduces viral pathogenicity and provides protective efficacy in murine models, establishing PIP2‐mediated NS3 secretion as both a key virulence determinant and a promising ...

Determination of virulence factors and biofilm formation among isolates of vulvovaginal candidiasis
Journal of Medical Sciences, 2016 Context: Under morphogenesis-inducing conditions, Candida spp. begins to undergo yeast-to-hypha switch. This shift from commensal to pathogenic state is dependent on several virulence factors. Aim: To find out whether the isolated Candida spp.

When is a bacterial “virulence factor” really virulent? [PDF]
, 2016 ABSTRACT Bacterial traits that contribute to disease are termed ‘virulence factors’ and there is much interest in therapeutic approaches that disrupt such traits. However, ecological theory predicts disease severity to be multifactorial and context dependent, which might complicate our efforts to identify the most ...

Advanced Science, EarlyView.A biohybrid nanorobot integrating lytic bacteriophage N4 with Pd nanozymes is developed for targeted eradication of multidrug‐resistant E. coli biofilms. Synergistic bacterial lysis and ROS‐mediated oxidation enable simultaneous biofilm removal and antibiotic resistance genes degradation, maintaining high efficacy in complex wastewater environments ...

H. pylori virulence factors [PDF]
British Medical Bulletin, 1998 Among people infected with Helicobacter pylori, the virulence of the infecting strain is a major determinant of who develops disease. Strains producing vacuolating cytotoxin activity are more commonly isolated from people with peptic ulcers than without.

Advanced Science, EarlyView.By leveraging this homodimerization mechanism, molecular glues were rationally designed to induce dysfunctional 3A dimerization, thereby restoring antiviral RNAi. The optimal molecular glue, VTP‐32, demonstrated potent and pan‐enterovirus (groups A, B, D) antiviral effects.

Inhibition of bacterial virulence factors as a method of treating bacterial pneumonia
Zdorovʹe Rebenka, 2018 Incremental increase in the number of antibiotic-resistant bacterial strains in the etiologic structure of pneumonia and reduced potential of antibiotic therapy increase the importance of drugs in the treatment of pneumonia, which are aimed at ...

Advanced Science, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Viruses often hijack host developmental programs to promote infection, but the mechanistic links between reproductive regulation and antiviral immunity remain incompletely understood. Here, we identify a virus‐triggered hierarchical degradation cascade that links antiviral immunity and fertility regulation in rice. We show that the rice grassy

Advanced Science, EarlyView.Dominant antimicrobial resistance reservoirs in Klebsiella pneumoniae vary across eco‐geographic settings rather than following a universal pattern. Integrated One Health and global genomic analyses show that lineage structure, integron load, and cross‐niche connectivity shape whether AMR burden accumulates primarily in human or nonhuman compartments ...
