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.
Lysogenic bacteriophages can carry virulence factors in their genomes, such as toxins or adhesins, which are expressed when the phage integrates into the bacterial chromosome. This integration allows the bacteria to acquire new traits that enhance their ability to cause disease, resulting in increased virulence.
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.
abbreviation for Neutral Buffered Formalin
To dilute formalin, you can mix it with water in the desired ratio. For example, to create a 10% formalin solution, mix 1 part formalin with 9 parts water. Always handle formalin carefully as it is a hazardous chemical and follow proper safety protocols.
Catalase is not typically considered a virulence factor of bacteria. It is an enzyme that helps in the breakdown of hydrogen peroxide, a harmful byproduct of metabolism. While it can contribute to bacterial survival by detoxifying reactive oxygen species, it is not a direct virulence factor involved in causing disease.

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.

Yes, bacterial cells do have vesicles. These vesicles can contain various cargo such as proteins, nucleic acids, and lipids. They play roles in processes like communication, nutrient acquisition, and virulence.

Yes, formalin kills fish.

Virulence factors
Virulence - album - was created on 2007-01-23.
Formalin is typically colorless to light yellow in appearance.
Catalase is not typically considered a virulence factor of bacteria. It is an enzyme that helps in the breakdown of hydrogen peroxide, a harmful byproduct of metabolism. While it can contribute to bacterial survival by detoxifying reactive oxygen species, it is not a direct virulence factor involved in causing disease.
