Ribonucleases and bacterial virulence
Bacterial stress responses provide them the opportunity to survive hostile environments, proliferate and potentially cause diseases in humans and animals. The way in which pathogenic bacteria interact with host immune cells triggers a complicated series of events that include rapid genetic re-programming in response to the various host conditions encountered. Viewed in this light, the bacterial...
متن کاملIron and bacterial virulence.
An invading pathogen must have the ability to multiply successfully within the hostile environment of the mammalian host to establish an infection. Bacterial and other pathogens produce a range of virulence determinants required for pathogenicity, many of which are regulated by environmental factors; level of iron is one of the important factors intimately connected to the synthesis of some of ...
متن کاملBacterial moonlighting proteins and bacterial virulence.
Implicit in the central dogma is the hypothesis that each protein gene product has but one function. However, over the past decade, it has become clear that many proteins have one or more unique functions, over-and-above the principal biological action of the specific protein. This phenomenon is now known as protein moonlighting and many well-known proteins such as metabolic enzymes and molecul...
متن کاملBacterial determinants of importance in the virulence of Gallibacterium anatis in poultry
Gallibacterium anatis, a member of the Pasteurellaceae family, constitute a part of the normal micro-flora of the upper respiratory tract and the lower genital tract in chickens. However, increasing evidence indicate that G. anatis is also associated with a wide range of pathological changes, particularly in the reproductive organs, which leads to decreased egg production, lowered animal welfar...
متن کاملGenome and virulence determinants of high virulence community-acquired MRSA.
BACKGROUND A new type of meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), designated community-acquired MRSA, is becoming increasingly noticeable in the community, some strains of which cause fatal infections in otherwise healthy individuals. By contrast with hospital-acquired MRSA, community-acquired MRSA is more susceptible to non b-lactam antibiotics. We investigated the high virulence pot...
