Today, MRSA is one of the most widespread nosocomial pathogens [ 1].
The epidemiology of ESBL-producing pathogens can be very complex [ 19], and ESBL-positive Enterobacteriaceae are increasing in prevalence so rapidly that they may soon become the most widespread MDR pathogens in French hospitals [ 20].
A large number of the world's most widespread and problematic pathogens evade host immune responses by inducing strain-specific immunity to immunodominant epitopes with high mutation rates capable of altering antigenic profiles.
Oomycetes are among the most widespread and destructive plant pathogens.
In spite of its highly immunogenic properties, Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) establishes persistent infection in otherwise healthy individuals, making it one of the most widespread and deadly human pathogens.
Insect vector-borne pathogens cause some of the most widespread infectious diseases worldwide, including dengue fever, yellow fever, malaria, encephalitis, filariasis, leishmaniasis and trypanosomiasis [ 1, 2].
are the most widespread marine parasites affecting domestic and wild fish, and have now emerged as important pathogens in many coastal marine areas [8] [10].
Many of the deadliest pathogens, such as E. coli and listeria, are comparatively rare; many of the most widespread, such as norovirus, are mercifully mild.
Human papillomavirus (HPV) types that infect mucosal epithelia are highly infectious pathogens causing a variety of lesions that go from innocuous to malignant, where the most widespread is cervical cancer (26).
