Non-attenuated?

I think it's a wild-type end-mutant strain?
So I suppose it is a mutant.
Correct me if I'm wrong :)

No, I don't do biology :)

Physics
Chemistry
I.P.T.

But I'm interested in the medical/health aspects :)

Edit
(Wild-type)
naturally occurring organism;
the form of an organism, strain, or gene that results from natural breeding, as opposed to mutant forms or those resulting from selective breeding

It seems as though I was wrong.
It is not a mutant at all, quite the opposite :)

So it is a typical form of an organism/strain/gene, or a characteristic that occurs in nature.
(Is the bread helga's? Naturally!)

Think of mutants that form from selective breeding, and reverse it! :)
