Virulence Plasmids of Nonsporulating Gram-Positive Pathogens [PDF]
Microbiology Spectrum, 2014 ABSTRACTGram-positive bacteria are leading causes of many types of human infection, including pneumonia, skin and nasopharyngeal infections, as well as urinary tract and surgical wound infections among hospitalized patients. These infections have become particularly problematic because many of the species causing them have become highly resistant to ...

Investigating the DNA-Binding Site for VirB, a Key Transcriptional Regulator of Shigella Virulence Genes, Using an In Vivo Binding Tool [PDF]
, 2019 The transcriptional anti-silencing and DNA-binding protein, VirB, is essential for the virulence of Shigella species and, yet, sequences required for VirB-DNA binding are poorly understood.

Plasmid required for virulence of Agrobacterium tumefaciens [PDF]
Journal of Bacteriology, 1975 The irreversible loss of crown gall-inducing ability of Agrobacterium tumefaciens strain C-58 during growth at 37 C is shown to be due to loss of a large plasmid (1.2 X 10-8 daltons). The gene responsible for this high rate of plasmid loss at elevated temperatures seems to be located on the plasmid. In addition, another spontaneous avirulent variant, A.

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.

New virulence-associated plasmid in Yersinia enterocolitica [PDF]
Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 1982 In a study of 103 strains of Yersinia enterocolitica, 10 strains were found to be lethal for mice and to possess 42- and 82-megadalton plasmids. This association was statistically significant (P much less than 0.001). Serotypes of Y. enterocolitica previously considered avirulent were found to possess these plasmids and to be lethal for mice.
