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 ...

In a recent Nature Reviews Microbiology study, researchers review how the wound microbiota interferes with skin repair processes and facilitates infection onset by modulating host immune responses.

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 ...
