Long-chain fatty acids alter transcription of Helicobacter pylori virulence and regulatory genes [PDF]
PeerJ, 2021 Infection with Helicobacter pylori is one of the most important risk factors for developing gastric cancer (GC). The type IV secretion system (T4SS) encoded in the cag pathogenicity island is the main virulence factor of H.

Regulation of virulence genes in Listeria
International Journal of Medical Microbiology, 2001 As in all pathogenic bacteria, virulence of the facultative intracellular Listeria species is a multifactorial trait. The expression of the bacterial genes involved in the different steps of the infectious process--invasion, intracellular multiplication and spreading--is temporally and spatially controlled, thus ensuring the presence of the respective ...

Epigenetic memory at malaria virulence genes [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2007 During its red blood cell stage, the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum can switch its variant surface proteins ( P. falciparum erythrocyte membrane protein 1) to evade the host immune response. The var gene family encodes P.

Detection of virulence-associated genes in Brucella melitensis biovar 3, the prevalent field strain in different animal species in Egypt [PDF]
Open Veterinary Journal, 2018 The current study involved detection of three virulence genes (bvfA, virB, ure) by PCR in 52 isolates of Brucella melitensis biovar 3, recovered from different animal species (28 sheep, 10 goats, 9 cattle and 5 buffaloes). Of the 52 B. melitensis strains;
