pathogenicity [‚path·ə·jə′nis·əd·ē]
(medicine) The ability of an organism to enter a host and cause disease. Pathogenicity the ability of a microorganism to cause infectious disease. Pathogenicity varies with the virulence of the infectious agent and with the susceptibility of the infected organisms. Thus for every microbe, it is a relative characteristic that depends on the species, age, sex, and physiological condition of the infected organism. Pathogenicity develops as a result of a microbial species’ long evolutionary adaptation to the presence of a particular host species. Individual strains from a single microbial species differ in pathogenicity. Want to thank TFD for its existence?

No references found | The work, reported in the July 23 Nature, could help researchers understand the pathogenicity and species-to-species transmission of immunodeficiency viruses that, up until now, have appeared to pose serious health hazards primarily to humans. We have suggested previously that the pathogenicity of RCS methylglyoxal (MGO) may be due to modification of critical arginine residues in matrix proteins and interference with renal cell-matrix interactions. Among the topics are in silico tools to study phytofungi, molecular markers for characterizing Fusarioum oxysporum formae speciales, exploring Ascochyta rabeie on chickpea as a model to study pathogenicity factors of Aschochyta blight of cool season grain legumes, and the molecular identification and characterization of indoor wood decay fungi and different human pathogenic Candida species. |
