Pathogenicity is the potential capacity of certain species of microbes to cause an infectious process. It is characterised by ...

The enzyme Sortase A plays a critical role in the virulence of Gram-positive bacteria by covalently anchoring surface proteins to the peptidoglycan cell wall. These surface proteins, which include ...

SMBE Journals (Molecular Biology and Evolution and Genome Biology and Evolution)Aug 22 2024 Surprisingly, a large number of mutations occurred at the same site or in the same gene across multiple ...

New research suggests that reducing virulence in drug resistant infections rather than trying to kill bacteria outright may offer an alternative approach to treatment. The study revealed how two ...

A research team at Leibniz-HKI has described a new enzyme that renders the highly toxic molecule malleicyprol harmless. Malleicyprol is considered an important virulence factor of Burkholderia ...
