Sentence examples for virulent compared with from inspiring English sources

The isolate with a longer passage history (JEL427-P39) was less virulent compared with the ancestral isolate that was cryo-archived immediately on isolation JEL427-P99; Langhammet et al. 2013).

Comparing the HIF-1α transcriptional programmes of virulent compared with attenuated T. annulata-infected macrophages should allow the identification of the subset of HIF-1α-target genes regulating hyper invasiveness of Theileria-transformed macrophages.

The genes induced by ETECs with F4 versus F18 fimbriae suggest why ETEC with F4 may be more virulent compared to F18 which seems to elicit milder effects.

These recombinant viruses are cytotoxic but less virulent when compared with wild-type HSV-1 virions.

In the present study, we confirmed our previous finding that ΔsecA2 conferred enhanced protection against virulent challenge when compared with BCG, and demonstrated that vaccination with the ΔsecA2ΔlysA double mutant strain also gave protection that was significantly better than that achieved with BCG.
