Wound botulism caused by Clostridium subterminale after a heroin injection
Infectious Disease Reports, 2018 Botulism is caused by toxin production from many species of Clostridium, most commonly Clostridium botulinum as well as C. baratii and C. butyricum. Development of wound botulism is associated with injection drug users but has also been described in ...

Mono- and multidomain defense toxins of the RelE/ParE superfamily
mBioToxin–antitoxin (TA) modules are widely distributed across prokaryotes, often existing in large numbers despite their associated fitness costs. Most type II TA modules are bicistronic operons encoding a monodomain toxin and its cognate protein antitoxin.

Human Vaccines & Immunotherapeutics, 2020 Botulinum neurotoxins (BoNTs) are among the most toxic proteins. Vaccination is an effective strategy to prevent botulism. To generate a vaccine suitable for human use, a recombinant non-His-tagged isoform of the Hc domain of botulinum neurotoxin ...

Phages carry orphan antitoxin-like enzymes to neutralize the DarTG1 toxin-antitoxin defense system [PDF]
The astounding number of anti-phage defenses encoded by bacteria is countered by an elaborate set of phage counter-defenses, though their evolutionary origins are often unknown. Here, we report the discovery of an orphan antitoxin counter-defense element

Clinical Recovery and Circulating Botulinum Toxin Type F in Adult Patient
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2009 A 56-year-old woman in Helena, Montana, USA, who showed clinical signs of paralysis, received antitoxins to botulinum toxins A, B, and E within 24 hours; nevertheless, symptoms progressed to complete quadriplegia. On day 8, she began moving spontaneously,

Expression, Purification, and Functional Analysis of Novel RelE Operon from X. nematophila
The Scientific World Journal, 2014 Bacterial toxin-antitoxin (TA) complexes induce programmed cell death and also function to relieve cell from stress by various response mechanisms. Escherichia coli RelB-RelE TA complex consists of a RelE toxin functionally counteracted by RelB antitoxin.
