WHAT ARE ANTITOXINS? [PDF]

open access: yesJAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1899
In a lecture delivered by Dr. T. Clifford Allbutt, regius professor of physics in Cambridge University, England, before the Johns Hopkins University in October, 1898, occur these words 1 : "The study of origins, then, is not only the new method of modern criticism, of modern history, of modern anthropology, of our reading of the evolution of the ...

Diverse genetic contexts of HicA toxin domains propose a role in anti-phage defense

open access: yesmBio
Toxin–antitoxin (TA) modules are prevalent in prokaryotic genomes, often in substantial numbers. For instance, the Mycobacterium tuberculosis genome alone harbors close to 100 TA modules, half of which belong to a singular type.

Structural Basis of Shiga Toxin Neutralization by Human Antibodies Targeting Canonical Receptor‐Binding and Non‐Canonical Assembly Sites

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Cryo‐electron microscopy structures reveal two distinct neutralization mechanisms of fully human monoclonal antibodies targeting the Shiga toxin 1a B subunit. RDS059 occludes the Gb3 receptor‐binding site, whereas RDS045 engages a lateral quaternary epitope to disrupt holotoxin assembly.

Foodborne botulism from consumption of homemade spoiled eggs: a case series and literature review

open access: yesFrontiers in Medicine
Botulism is a rare but life-threatening condition that primarily results from ingestion of food contaminated with the exotoxins produced by Clostridium botulinum.

MenT nucleotidyltransferase toxins extend tRNA acceptor stems and can be inhibited by asymmetrical antitoxin binding

open access: yesNature Communications, 2023
Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the bacterium responsible for human tuberculosis, has a genome encoding a remarkably high number of toxin-antitoxin systems of largely unknown function. We have recently shown that the M.

Phase I Evaluation of Siltartoxatug, a First‐in‐Class Anti‐Tetanus Monoclonal Antibody: Safety, Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics in Healthy Australian and Chinese Populations

open access: yesClinical Pharmacology &Therapeutics, EarlyView.
Siltartoxatug, a first‐in‐class monoclonal antibody targeting tetanus toxin for post‐exposure prophylaxis, was evaluated in two phase I trials in Australian and Chinese healthy adults. In these randomized, double‐blind, placebo‐controlled, dose‐escalation studies, participants received a single intramuscular injection of siltartoxatug (10–250 μg/kg) or

Molecular Characterization of SehB, a Type II Antitoxin of Salmonella enterica Serotype Typhimurium: Amino Acid Residues Involved in DNA-Binding, Homodimerization, Toxin Interaction, and Virulence

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2020
Salmonella enterica serotype Typhimurium is a bacterium that causes gastroenteritis and diarrhea in humans. The genome of S. Typhimurium codes for diverse virulence factors, among which are the toxin-antitoxin (TA) systems.

Vaginal host–microbe signatures linked to placental outcomes in mares

open access: yesEquine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Ascending placentitis is a leading cause of late‐term pregnancy loss in mares. Although pathogens are presumed to ascend from the caudal reproductive tract, the association between the vaginal microbiome and placentitis has not been systematically examined.
