What is Virulence Factors and Their Associated Genes in Microbes about?

Microbial pathogenesis is the ability of microbes, or their components, to cause infection in a host after developing a complex mode of interactions from both hosts and pathogens. During the long course of evolution, disease-causing pathogenic microbes have developed a variety of virulence mechanisms and virulence encoding factors or genes having inducible or constitutive expression patterns that produce proteins or other biomolecules, like polysaccharides or lipid mediators produced through a complex biosynthetic route. The degree of pathogenesis caused by the microbial system is determined by the virulence factors involved and other intrinsic mechanisms, such as the number of microbial entities that are administered in the host system, the route of administration, and a host specific defense mechanisms (Khan et al., 2010). Besides causing diseases in the susceptible host, these virulence factors play a crucial role in microbial growth at elevated temperatures, promote the adherence, penetration, and dissemination required for successful entry and establishment of the pathogen into their host. Moreover, these virulence factors also assist in the development of pathogenic resistanc
