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 do the 'H' and 'N' stand for in influenza viruses?
hemaglutinin and neuraminidase, two surface glycoproteins of influenza that contribute the the virulence of the disease...
What is the importance of phase variation in bacteria?
Causes antigenic diversity in pathogens that contribute to more virulence- adaptive system must account for new targets.
How does formalin attenuate bacterial virulence?
Formalin is a solution of formaldehyde, which is highly toxic. A third of an ounce of formaldehyde can kill an adult human. Formalin kills the bacteria, but leaves it intact enough to be used for vaccines.
Do microorganisms with smaller infectious dose have greater or lesser virulence?
small infectious dose leads to greater virulence

What is ketodeoxyoctonate?
A component of (many?) Gram negative bacterial lipooligosaccharides (LOS). It may act as a linker between bacterial lipid and polysaccharide. LOS is a virulence factor and forms part of manybacterial outer membranes.

When was Virulence - album - created?
Virulence - album - was created on 2007-01-23.
What is a virulence factor for diphtheria?
The virulence factor for diphtheria is an exotoxin named diphtheria exotoxin.
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 are the virulence factors of Rocky Mountain spotted fever?
How does the rocky mountain spotted fever organism result in disease & what are the virulence factors?
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.
