Characterization of Rabbit Polyclonal Sera against Recombinant Shiga Toxin and its Subunits for Detection of Stx-Producing E. coli

Iranian Journal of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology, 2011
Shiga toxin (Stx) is the principal virulence factor of Shigatoxigenic Escherichia coli (STEC), a food-born pathogen associated disease with uncomplicated diarrhea or the hemolytic-uremic syndrome.

Characterisation of VapBC Toxin-Antitoxins from Mycobacterium tuberculosis [PDF]

, 2013
Toxin-antitoxin (TA) systems were identified more than 20 years ago on the mini F plasmid of Escherichia coli as plasmid stability elements; components responsible for purging bacterial cells that lack the plasmid from the population.

Identification and characterization of novel inhibitors of bacterial AB-type toxins

AB-type toxins are extremely potent bacterial virulence factors and in many cases, the causative agents of severe disease. Their detrimental effects on the host and importance during the infection process make bacterial AB-type toxins a promising therapeutic target.

Identification and characterization of human endogenous proteins and peptides as novel inhibitors for the Bordetella pertussis toxin and related AB-type protein toxins

Pertussis also called whooping cough is a highly infectious respiratory disease caused by an infection with Bordetella (B.) pertussis. The secreted virulence factor pertussis toxin (PT) is an AB-type protein toxin and associated with the symptoms and the life-threatening complications of severe pertussis, especially in human infants.

A double-edged sword: AB toxins as attack (cholera toxin) and defense (CCTX2) mechanisms

AB toxins are proteins often used by pathogens as an attack molecule. However, some organisms use them as a defense molecule, when threatened by a predator. This PhD thesis provides insights on the understanding of the molecular mechanism of two AB toxins, representing the two distinct roles of attack and defense.
