Role of <i>msbB</i> Gene in Physiology and Pathogenicity of <i>Vibrio parahaemolyticus</i> by Jinyuan Che, Binghong Liu, Qitong Fang, Shaojie Hu, Lei Wang, Baolong Bao

“…Moreover, the expression levels of immune-related genes in the shrimp hepatopancreas were significantly lower in the Δ<i>msbB</i> group, indicating a significant reduction in infection capability and pathogenicity. These findings indicate that the <i>msbB</i> gene is critical for the virulence of <i>V. parahaemolyticus</i> and suggest that <i>msbB</i> is a potential target for therapeutic interventions and vaccine development against <i>V. parahaemolyticus</i> infections.…”

Course and medium-term outcomes of implant-associated infection caused by leading gram-negative pathogens by Olga S. Tufanova, Svetlana A. Bozhkova, Ekaterina M. Gordina, Vasily A. Artyukh

“…During the comparative study, a statistically significant effect on the development of a poor outcome was shown by the postoperative level of serum albumin (p = 0.002), the sensitivity of the isolated isolate to the tested antibacterial drugs (p = 0.011), the isolation of the pathogen from patients’ biomaterial in the postoperative period (p = 0.001), a more frequent need for intravenous administration of albumin and iron (p = 0.003 and p = 0.056, respectively) and the need for repeated surgical intervention in the early postoperative period (p = 0.001). …”

The role of virulence genes in Campylobacter pathogenicity: a perspective from the Gulf Cooperation Council countries by Mohamed-Yousif Ibrahim Mohamed, Mohamed-Yousif Ibrahim Mohamed, Hazim O. Khalifa, Ihab Habib, Ihab Habib

“…Studies also reveal distinct genotypes of C. jejuni and C. coli, each with varying pathogenicity. These findings underscore the need for further research on the role of virulence genes in shaping the pathogenicity of Campylobacter, which is essential for developing effective intervention and control strategies in the GCC region.…”
