The ability of a bacterium to cause disease is known as its virulence. Factors involved in determining virulence potential are discussed here. In terms of the medical aspects of bacterial structure, we are most interested in those features that interact with the host.

The researchers have described in new, precise detail the unique cell extension that forms on one end of the bacterium Mycoplasma pneumoniae. This structure, called a "terminal organelle," performs several tasks for this pervasive bacterium and even acts as a "molecular inch-worm," helping the ... General news...
