A tetraspecific VHH-based neutralizing antibody modifies disease outcome in three animal models of Clostridium difficile infection [PDF]
, 2016 Clostridium difficile infection (CDI), a leading cause of nosocomial infection, is a serious disease in North America, Europe, and Asia. CDI varies greatly from asymptomatic carriage to life-threatening diarrhea, toxic megacolon, and toxemia.

Anthrax Toxins—Roadblocks for Exocytic Trafficking [PDF]
Developmental Cell, 2010 Anthrax toxins cause vascular dysfunction, in part by perturbing the endothelial cell barrier. Reporting in Nature, Guichard et al. shed new light on the mechanism by which this occurs and show that anthrax toxins interfere with exocytic delivery of cadherins to endothelial cell junctions by antagonizing the exocyst complex.

Cytoskeleton as an Emerging Target of Anthrax Toxins
Toxins, 2012 Bacillus anthracis, the agent of anthrax, has gained virulence through its exotoxins produced by vegetative bacilli and is composed of three components forming lethal toxin (LT) and edema toxin (ET).

Hyaline fibromatosis syndrome inducing mutations in the ectodomain of anthrax toxin receptor 2 can be rescued by proteasome inhibitors. [PDF]
, 2011 Hyaline Fibromatosis Syndrome (HFS) is a human genetic disease caused by mutations in the anthrax toxin receptor 2 (or cmg2) gene, which encodes a membrane protein thought to be involved in the homeostasis of the extracellular matrix.

The Journal of Cell Biology, 2003 Bacterial toxin proteins are generally thought to enter eukaryotic cells by passive hitchhiking, binding to a convenient receptor that is constitutively internalized by endocytosis to ensure their delivery to the cytoplasm. But on page 321, Abrami et al.
