Leptospirosis is a globally important, neglected zoonotic infection caused by spirochetes of the genus Leptospira. Since genetic transformation remains technically limited for pathogenic Leptospira, a systems biology ...

The present study evaluated the presence of 10 genes encoding various virulence factors of biological importance in 100 Salmonella Typhimurium isolates, where 90 isolates came from sick guinea pigs and 10 from apparently ...

Pathogenic bacteria possess genes responsible for virulence, that when expressed, determine not only bacterial invasion and persistence and destruction of host cells but also survival capacity under inappropriate culture ...

Escherichia albertii are emerging enteropathogens, whose identification is difficult, as they share biochemical characteristics and some virulence-related genes with diarrheagenic Escherichia coli (DEC). Studies on phylogeny, ...

The objective of this study was to characterize the clonal profile, virulence factors and antimicrobial resistance, particularly oxacillin resistance, of Staphylococcus aureus isolated from sheep milk. Milk samples were ...
