What does not contribute to the virulence of a pathogen?
There are infinitely many things that do not contribute to the virulence of a pathogen. Elvis does not contribute to the virulence of a pathogen.
What is meant by the term attenuated pathogen?
An attenuated pathogen is a type of pathogen which has been weakened so that it is no longer capable of causing the disease
Do microorganisms with smaller infectious dose have greater or lesser virulence?
small infectious dose leads to greater virulence
What makes coagulase important for a pathogen?
There is some controversy about whether coagulase is a virulence factor, but one way coagulase contributes to pathogenicity is that it binds prothrombin to form staphylothrombin, which then cleaves fibrinogen to form fibrin clots in which the bacteria can live and avoid phagocytosis by neutrophils.
Microbial virulence factors?
The virulence factor list include capsules, fimbriae, outer membrane proteins, techoic acids, protein A, and m protein. Virulence factors are factors that allow pathogens to avoid host defense mechanisms and adversely affect the host.
What does not contribute to the virulence of a pathogen?
There are infinitely many things that do not contribute to the virulence of a pathogen. Elvis does not contribute to the virulence of a pathogen.
A microorganism's disease-producing power is called?
virulence
What are disease-producing microorganisms called?
They are usually just called organisms or bacteria, virus, pathogen, or parasites.
What is meant by the term attenuated pathogen?
An attenuated pathogen is a type of pathogen which has been weakened so that it is no longer capable of causing the disease
What are virulence factors?
Virulence is the degree of pathogenicity within a types of parasites. The factors of virulence are the colonization of a niche in the host, immunoevasion, immunosuppression, entry and exit of cells and obtaining nutrition from the host.
What has the author Riikka Heikinheimo written?
Riikka Heikinheimo has written: 'Regulation and characterization of the virulence determinants of the plant pathogen Erwinia carotovora subsp. carotovora' -- subject(s): Erwinia carotovora, Genetics, Molecular aspects, Molecular aspects of Phytopathogenic bacteria, Phytopathogenic bacteria, Virulence (Microbiology)
When was Virulence - album - created?
Virulence - album - was created on 2007-01-23.
What is mucoid capsule?
Mucoid capsules prevent desiccation in some organisms which increase virulence. Capsules are slippery and can evade a human's immune system.
What is a virulence factor for diphtheria?
The virulence factor for diphtheria is an exotoxin named diphtheria exotoxin.
Do microorganisms with smaller infectious dose have greater or lesser virulence?
small infectious dose leads to greater virulence

Why virulence lost on sub-culturing?
Because in culture outside of the host organism microbe or virus are not subject to immune response pressure, so their own genes that are responsible for virulence become not necessary and can be lost due to lack of selective pressure. Also, composition of the culture media can be such, that some important genes that are needed to pathogen's survival in its normal host stop being necessary. The whole thing is a lot like an atrophy of muscles when they are not used.
