Expression, Purification, and Functional Analysis of Novel RelE Operon from X. nematophila

open access: yesThe 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.

The Arms Race Between Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae and Its Genetic Environment: A Comprehensive Analysis of Its Defensome and Mobile Genetic Elements

open access: yesMolecular Microbiology, Volume 124, Issue 1, Page 40-53, July 2025.
Using bioinformatic tools, we identified a diverse defensome in Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae, featuring various defense mechanisms. Genomes show co‐occurring systems like CRISPR, Abi, and restriction‐modification (RM) systems, underscoring the complexity and dynamic nature of their defensome cargo.

Wound botulism caused by Clostridium subterminale after a heroin injection

open access: yesInfectious 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 ...

Molecular processes underlying synergistic linuron mineralization in a triple-species bacterial consortium biofilm revealed by differential transcriptomics [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
The proteobacteria Variovorax sp. WDL1, Comamonas testosteroni WDL7, and Hyphomicrobium sulfonivorans WDL6 compose a triple-species consortium that synergistically degrades and grows on the phenylurea herbicide linuron.

Development and evaluation of candidate subunit vaccine and novel antitoxin against botulinum neurotoxin serotype E

open access: yesHuman 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 ...

Safety and Pharmacokinetics of a Four Monoclonal Antibody Combination Against Botulinum C and D Neurotoxins. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Botulism is caused by botulinum neurotoxin (BoNT), the most poisonous substance known. BoNTs are also classified as Tier 1 biothreat agents due to their high potency and lethality.
