Genetic determinants of hypervirulence with attenuated pathogenicity in a blaNDM-1-encoding Klebsiella pneumoniae causing neonatal sepsis

Virulence
K39 Klebsiella pneumoniae, a previously unrecognized hypervirulent serotype, was isolated from a septicemic neonate. It was assessed for the acquisition of hypervirulence determinants and virulence potential.

Ecological dynamics and complex interactions of Agrobacterium megaplasmids

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2014
As with many pathogenic bacteria, agrobacterial plant pathogens carry most of their virulence functions on a horizontally transmissible genetic element. The tumor-inducing (Ti) plasmid encodes the majority of virulence functions for the crown gall agent ...

Radiation Resistance of Virulence Plasmid-Containing and Plasmid-Less Yersinia enterocolitica

Journal of Food Protection, 2002
Yersinia enterocolitica, a foodborne pathogen, can be eliminated from meat by ionizing radiation. Y. enterocolitica sometimes contains a 70-kb virulence plasmid that encodes genes for a type III secretion channel and host immune suppression factors. The radiation resistance of virulence plasmid-containing and plasmid-less Y.

Genomic and functional characterization of a blaNDM-1 and tmexCD2-toprJ2 co-producing Klebsiella quasipneumoniae (KL159/ST1929) reveals plasmid-mediated suppression of virulence

Microbiology Spectrum
Klebsiella quasipneumoniae has emerged as a multidrug-resistant (MDR) pathogen of growing clinical concern, driven by its capacity to acquire mobile genetic elements encoding carbapenemases and novel resistance determinants.

pFiD188, the Linear Virulence Plasmid of Rhodococcus fascians D188

Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions, 2012
Rhodococcus fascians is currently the only phytopathogen of which the virulence genes occur on a linear plasmid. To get insight into the origin of this replicon and into the virulence strategy of this broad-spectrum phytopathogen, the sequence of the ...

Putative determinants of virulence in Melissococcus plutonius, the bacterial agent causing European foulbrood in honeybees [Elektronisk resurs]

, 2020
Melissococcus plutonius is a bacterial pathogen that causes epidemic outbreaks of European foulbrood (EFB) in honey bee populations. The pathogenicity of a bacterium depends on its virulence, and understanding the mechanisms influencing virulence may ...

The poly (A) polymerase pcnB modulates virulence and resistance in Klebsiella pneumoniae by differentially regulating chromosomal mRNA stability and plasmid copy number

Frontiers in Microbiology
Klebsiella pneumoniae is a leading cause of healthcare-associated infections, with emerging strains exhibiting both multidrug resistance and hypervirulence, largely mediated by plasmid-encoded genes.
