The antonyms of virulent: gentle; kind; nice; harmless; healthy; nonpoisonous
A virus that kills its host is said to be virulent. Virulent viruses can cause serious illness or death in their host organisms.
The molecule that caused transformation in Griffith's pneumonia experiment was DNA. Specifically, it was the transfer of DNA from heat-killed virulent bacteria to live non-virulent bacteria that resulted in the transformation of the non-virulent bacteria into a virulent form.
The live R bacteria acquired a capsule and became live, virulent S bacteria.
Griffith's experiments involved injecting mice with different strains of Streptococcus pneumoniae. He observed that mice injected with the heat-killed virulent strain survived, while those injected with live non-virulent strains did not. Remarkably, when he mixed heat-killed virulent bacteria with live non-virulent bacteria, the mice developed pneumonia and died. This indicated that some "transforming principle" from the dead virulent bacteria was taken up by the live non-virulent bacteria, suggesting that DNA was responsible for the trait of virulence.
Capsulated bacteria are usually more virulent compared to non-capsulated bacteria. The presence of a capsule helps the bacteria evade the host's immune system and promotes its ability to cause disease. Capsules can provide protection against phagocytosis, making the bacteria more likely to establish an infection.

A virus that kills its host is said to be virulent. Virulent viruses can cause serious illness or death in their host organisms.
Virulent means actively poisonous. You could use it in a sentence as, "the man had a virulent snake bite."
The virulent strain of the virus spread rapidly through the community, causing severe illness and a high mortality rate.
