The virulence factors of are tightly controlled by two-component systems (TCSs) and small RNA (sRNA). TCSs have been well studied over the past several decades, but our understanding of sRNA functions lags far behind that of TCS functions. Here, we studied the biological role of sRNA from 506 RNA-seq datasets using independent component analysis (ICA).

Enterohaemolysin (Ehx) and alpha-haemolysin are virulence-associated factors (VAFs) causing the haemolytic phenotype in . It has been shown that chromosomally and plasmid-encoded alpha-haemolysin are characteristic of specific pathotypes, virulence-associated factors and hosts. However, the prevalence of alpha- and enterohaemolysin does not overlap in the majority of pathotypes.

Aims: is a major cause of septic arthritis, and in vitro studies suggest α haemolysin (Hla) is responsible for chondrocyte death. We used an in vivo murine joint model to compare inoculation with wild type 8325-4 with a Hla-deficient strain DU1090 on chondrocyte viability, tissue histology, and joint biomechanics. The aim was to compare the actions of Hla alone with those of the animal's immune response to infection.

In dairy cows, () is among the most prevalent microorganisms worldwide, causing mastitis, an inflammation of the mammary gland. Production of extracellular vesicles (EVs) is a common feature of strains, which contributes to its pathogenesis by delivering bacterial effector molecules to host cells. In the current study, we evaluated the differences between five mastitis isolates regarding their EV production.

Prior studies showed that anti-glucosaminidase (Gmd) antibodies are protective in animals, and 93.3 % of patients with culture-confirmed S.
