The term virulence is generally defined as the relative ability of an organism to cause disease or to interfere with a metabolic or physiological function of its host. The word derives from the Latin, virulentus, or full of poison. Thus, virulence refers to the ability of a microbe to express pathogenicity (e.g. virulent), which is contrasted with non pathogenic or avirulent organisms.
