The most successful demonstrations of the capabilities of pathogen genomics were the deciphering of the origins of the Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus and the management of the Europe-wide 2011 STEC outbreak.
Multidrug resistance (MDR) refers to the capability of bacterial pathogens to withstand lethal doses of structurally diverse drugs which are capable of eradicating non-resistant strains.
Eryrthritol metabolism by Brucella has been identified as a trait associated with the capability of the pathogen to cause abortions in livestock.
Of particular interest is the capability of the pathogen to interact with the human immune system.
This indicates that the difference observed in the susceptibility of max2 lines to different pathogens results from the enhanced capability of the bacterial pathogens to take advantage of the impaired stomatal function of max2 lines when entering the plant apoplast.
To increase our understanding of the pathogenesis of this bacterium, several studies have attempted to explore the adhesive and invasive capabilities of the pathogen in different human-derived cell lines in vitro.
These units showed extraordinary capability of spreading among commensals, pathogens and even environmental bacteria in water and soil36.
It is a fact that during the early days we did not have, as neither did almost any other country in the world, the capability of identifying this new pathogen because the essential "primer" to make the diagnosis was not available in the market.
Because Bartonella spp. are emerging human pathogens and Ixodes spp. can transmit a large spectrum of pathogens to humans, the capability of Ixodes spp. in transmitting human pathogenic Bartonella spp. should be determined.
Given the strong patterns in size and shape of pathogens, development of capabilities to recognize pathogens based on physical features, in addition to surface biomolecules, perhaps represents an evolutionary step that the macrophages utilize in fighting bacterial infections.
Pediococcus pentosaceus SB83 showed the ability to reduce the pH of SVF, which is relevant because in addition to inhibiting those pathogens previously mentioned, this LAB has the capability of preventing colonization by other vaginal pathogens by reduction of vaginal pH acid; one study reported the inhibition of group B Streptococcus in SVF at pH 4.2 [ 35].
