Adherence to and invasion of mammalian cell lines by Pasteurella multocida B:2
Haemorrhagic septicemia (HS), caused by the Gram-negative bacterium Pasteurella multocida serotype B:2, is an economically important disease responsible for morbidity and mortality of bovines, especially buffaloes, in countries of South or Southeast Asia and Africa. A feature of this disease is the …

Reducing Mortality from Severe Sepsis and Septic Shock: A Macro System Approach
… Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality ranks septicemia as the number one most expensive condition treated in U.S. hospitals, resulting in aggregate costs of $20.3 billion or 5.2% of the total aggregate cost for all hospitalizations. Starting October 2015, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid …

Variation in sepsis symptoms of hospital patients admitted from different points of origin
… the 11th leading cause of death in the U.S. was septicemia. Sepsis is a disease pathway that leads to death by infection of the blood and is a process that is highly time dependent. The purpose of this study is to determine if there is a relationship between patients that come from different …

An Infection Model for Examining the Effects of Gender and Diabetic State on Proinflammatory Cytokine Secretion by Phagocytic Cells in Response to Infection with Burkholderia pseudomallei
… Persons with severe melioidosis usually die of septicemia. Relatively little is known regarding the virulence mechanisms of B. pseudomallei; however, several putative virulence determinants have been identified. The organism is able to invade and replicate within phagocytic cells and is …

Comparative Whole-genome and Phenotype Analyses of Virulence Factors and Lethality in Nematode Challenge Assay among Aeromonas isolates
… in humans and motile <em>Aeromonas</em> septicemia in fish. Although many virulence factors have been described, determining which factors are most important in pathogenesis is ongoing. To examine this further, the genomes of five <em>Aeromonas</em> strains isolated from various animals …

The Relationship Between Biofilm Production and Human Respiratory Cell Attachment and Invasion by Acinetobacter Baumannii
… and bloodstream infections that often lead to septicemia. Increasing multidrug resistance (MDR) in <em>A. baumannii</em> warrants new approaches to understanding its virulence mechanisms and pathogenicity. As a first step in infection, <em>A. baumannii</em> can attach to host cells, providing a …

Characterization of the Staphylococcus aureus Immunodominant Surface Antigen B, IsaB
… it was 1 of 4 unique proteins immunogenic during septicemia and not colonization, suggesting that IsaB may be a virulence factor and a possible novel therapeutic target. Interestingly, IsaB has no homology to proteins of known function and appears to be found only in Staphylococci. We sought to …

Important role of the type VI secretion system in the virulence of an emergent human pathogen Aeromonas hydrophila: Delineating the mechanism of action of its effectors
… including gastroenteritis, wound infections and septicemia. In this study, we characterized the new type 6 secretion system (T6SS) from isolate SSU of A. hydrophila and demonstrated its role in bacterial virulence. We have provided evidence that the T6SS is independent of other secretion systems …
