Virulence factors of Burkholderia cepacia.
Originally named following its identification as a cause of soft rot in onions, Burkholderia cepacia has also been known as Pseudomonas multivorans and Pseudomonas kingae [1,2], and until most recently, as Pseudomonas cepacia [3]. A proposal for the transfer of 7 species of the genus Pseudomonas RNA Homology group II to a new genus Burkholderia with the type-species Burkholderia cepacia has bee...
متن کاملBurkholderia cepacia Complex: Emerging Multihost Pathogens Equipped with a Wide Range of Virulence Factors and Determinants
The Burkholderia cepacia complex (Bcc) comprises at least 17 closely-related species of the beta-proteobacteria subdivision, widely distributed in natural and man-made inhabitats. Bcc bacteria are endowed with an extraordinary metabolic diversity and emerged in the 1980s as life-threatening and difficult-to-treat pathogens among patients suffering from cystic fibrosis. More recently, these bact...
متن کاملBurkholderia cepacia Complex Regulation of Virulence Gene Expression: A Review
Burkholderia cepacia complex (Bcc) bacteria emerged as opportunistic pathogens in cystic fibrosis and immunocompromised patients. Their eradication is very difficult due to the high level of intrinsic resistance to clinically relevant antibiotics. Bcc bacteria have large and complex genomes, composed of two to four replicons, with variable numbers of insertion sequences. The complexity of Bcc g...
متن کاملVirulence Factors in Enterococci
Enterococcus species were considered as non-pathogenic bacteria until recognized as an important cause of bacterial endocarditis in 1899. During the past decade, there has been a worldwide increase in occurrence of enterococcal infections. Though more than 28 enteroccocal species described, Enterococcus faecalis and Enterococcus faecium are isolated most frequently. This might be explained by t...
متن کاملVirulence factors of Candida species.
Candida albicans is an opportunistic human pathogen, which colonizes at several anatomically distinct sites including skin, oral, gastrointestinal tract, and vagina. How harmless commensal C. albicans become a human pathogen when opportunity comes is not clear. This review will focus on the molecular dissection of virulence factors of C. albicans, including adhesion, proteinases secretion, hyph...
