An oxygen-sensitive toxin–antitoxin system
Nature Communications, 2016 Classical toxin–antitoxin systems in bacteria are based on silencing of a toxin by an antitoxin that, when inactivated, releases the toxin, resulting in a change in metabolism. Here, the authors characterize an oxygen-sensitive toxin–antitoxin system and

Postbooster Antibodies from Humans as Source of Diphtheria Antitoxin
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2016 Diphtheria antitoxin for therapeutic use is in limited supply. A potential source might be affinity-purified antibodies originally derived from plasma of adults who received a booster dose of a vaccine containing diphtheria toxoid. These antibodies might
