Analysing the genomes of non-pathogenic microorganisms ... This underlines the growing understanding that many so-called 'virulence genes' are probably involved in more general interactions ...

This technique takes advantage of the fact that some virulence genes are only expressed during ... come into contact with this flesh-eating pathogen. Day, W. A., et al. Microarray analysis of ...

How do bacteria—harmless ones living in our bodies, or those that cause disease—organize their activities? A new study, ...

How do bacteria - harmless ones living in our bodies, or those that cause disease - organize their activities? A new study, combining powerful genomic-scale microscopy with a technical innovation, ...

rustigianii carries a cytolethal distending toxin virulence gene on its plasmid. Elimination of this gene did not reduce the bacteria's virulence, however. This time, the whole genome sequencing ...

The transcription factor regulatory network in Pseudomonas aeruginosa is complex and involves multiple regulators that respond to various environmental signals and physiological cues by regulating ...

Human fungal pathogens exemplify a severe threat to health due to their complex infection strategies and the host's immune system's failure to eradicate ...

Researchers have identified many species of bacteria that interrelate gene regulation with their neighbors to control a variety of processes, including symbiosis, virulence, antibiotic resistance, and ...

A critical gene in pathogenic fungi could be the key to significantly improved wheat disease control measures.

Many of the same microorganisms are notorious for their tenacity, pathogenicity, virulence, proclivity for resistance and ultimately, the severity of their infections. The ESKAPE pathogens will be ...
