The results of our study emphasize the importance of considering virulence on an isolate-specific basis when creating epidemiological models and predicting disease outcomes for this ecologically important pathogen.
Finally, we emphasize the value of profiling multiple virulence related gene families in parallel, a unique advantage of microarray-based detection systems.
Recently, a new theory was proposed, which emphasizes on the virulence of microbial pathogens and host-pathogen interactions during severe sepsis [ 2, 3].
Our study emphasizes that the virulence of pathogens can be increased, by acquiring new genes and/or improving the function of essential virulence proteins, resulting in permanently hyper-virulent strains.
The association of GIs with virulence factors [ 36] emphasize the significant role of acquired gene clusters in the evolution of numerous pathogens.
These data emphasize the importance of Stp1 and Stk1 for S. aureus virulence and abscess formation.
These findings contribute to the complexity of ESX-1-dependent secretion, and emphasize the important role of ESX-1 in granuloma formation and virulence.
This review can also be used to emphasize the danger of ignoring evolution when deploying live-attenuated vaccine viruses, since without due safeguards, evolution may reshape the virulence or transmissibility of these agents.
The only difference is that one emphasizes the change of virulence optima during the invasion, the other addresses the range of virulence values that can invade and the nonequilibrium states that may persist after invasion.
Emphasize the value of sleep.
