Streptococcus pneumoniae: virulence factors, pathogenesis, and vaccines.
Although pneumococcal conjugate vaccines are close to being licensed, a more profound knowledge of the virulence factors responsible for the morbidity and mortality caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae is necessary. This review deals with the major structures of pneumococci involved in the pathogenesis of pneumococcal disease and their interference with the defense mechanisms of the host. It is w...
متن کاملIn vivo and in vitro Pathogenesis and Virulence Factors of Candida albicans Strains Isolated from Cutaneous Candidiasis
Background: The Candida albicans is one of the most important global opportunistic pathogens, and the incidence of candidiasis has increased over the past few decades. Despite the established role of skin in defense against fungal invasion, little has been documented about the pathogenesis of Candida species when changing from normal flora to pathogens of vaginal and gastrointestinal epithelia....
متن کاملAlternaria Toxins: Potential Virulence Factors and Genes Related to Pathogenesis
Alternaria is an important fungus to study due to their different life style from saprophytes to endophytes and a very successful fungal pathogen that causes diseases to a number of economically important crops. Alternaria species have been well-characterized for the production of different host-specific toxins (HSTs) and non-host specific toxins (nHSTs) which depend upon their physiological an...
متن کاملPathogenesis, Virulence, and Infective Dose
S ome pathogens can begin an infection with only a small number of cells in the initial inoculum. For example, enterohemorrhagic strains of Escherichia coli require an infective dose of only about ten cells. By contrast, other pathogens, such as Vibrio cholerae, require a large number of cells (10 to 10 cells) in the inoculum to successfully infect a host (Figure 1). We propose a new hypothesis...
متن کاملRhodococcus equi: Pathogenesis and Virulence
Inhalation of the facultative intracellular bacterium, Rhodococcus equi, can result in a severe pyogranulomatous pneumonia in young horses and immunocompromised people. This organism is able to resist innate immune defenses and establish residence within the intracellular environment of the alveolar macrophage. Virulence determinants of R. equi have yet to be fully elucidated, but all equine is...
