Several early models describing host–pathogen interaction have assumed that each
individual host has approximately the same likelihood of becoming infected or of infecting …

This article describes methods of treatment for avian zoonoses, modern antibiotic therapy
and drug resistance of selected pathogens, which pose a threat to the population's health. A …

The ability of Escherichia coli O157: H7 to induce cellular damage leading to disease in
humans is related to numerous virulence factors, most notably the stx gene, encoding Shiga …

Escherichia coli O157: H7 is the primary serotype of enterohaemorrhagic E. coli (EHEC),
which can cause diarrhea, hemorrhagic colitis, and hemolytic uremic syndrome. It is …

Comparative genomics of bacterial pathogens has been useful for revealing potential
virulence factors. Escherichia coli is a significant cause of human morbidity and mortality …

Super-shed (SS) Escherichia coli O157 (E. coli O157) demonstrate a strong, aggregative,
