pathogenicity

• Our results indicate that the NS1 protein is critical for the pathogenicity of H5N1 influenza viruses in mammalian hosts and that the amino acid S42 of NS1 plays a key role in undermining the antiviral immune response of the host cell. —  CiteULike: Everyone's library
• The distinct chromosomal regions within Staph aureus that carry many of its toxins, the pathogenicity islands, are actually related to phages, allowing them to be easily activated and packaged into phage particles, says Dr. Novick. —  innovations-report
• He and Dr. Chen found that the rules of the attachment process in both Staph aureus and L. monocytogenes have been relaxed to allow attachment at more DNA sites, thus removing a major barrier for integrating new genetic elements like the pathogenicity islands. —  innovations-report
• A computational approach for identifying pathogenicity islands in prokaryotic genomes. —  CiteULike: Everyone's library
• The risk of sequence mutations which cause an increase in pathogenicity, meaning an escalation in the health threat of the virus, demands fast and reliable methods for in-depth full-length sequence analysis to prevent spread of the disease. —  GEN News Highlights
