Why are diseases caused by opportunists becoming virulent more frequently?

SouravSeptember 4, 2024

Answer

Opportunistic pathogens are becoming more virulent due to factors such as increased antibiotic resistance, weakened host immune systems (e.g., due to HIV or immunosuppressive therapies), and changes in host behavior or environment that facilitate the spread and establishment of these pathogens.
