Expression of pertussis toxin in Bordetella bronchiseptica and Bordetella parapertussis carrying recombinant plasmids [PDF]

open access: yesInfection and Immunity, 1989
Pertussis toxin is produced only by strains of Bordetella pertussis. Cloned genes encoding pertussis toxin from B. pertussis were transferred into Bordetella bronchiseptica and Bordetella parapertussis by conjugation. These transconjugants expressed pertussis toxin at levels comparable to those expressed by B. pertussis. The toxin made by these strains

A multidomain hydrolase from the thermophile Thermanaeromonas toyohensis degrades high molecular mass forms of polyhydroxybutyrate

open access: yesProtein Science, Volume 34, Issue 8, August 2025.
Abstract The use of polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) bioplastics has the potential to create a circular and sustainable recycling plastic system. Here, we focus on PHB degradation and characterize the multidomain PHB hydrolyzing enzyme from the extremophile Thermanaeromonas tohohensis.

Case Report: Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation to Treat Severe Acquired Aplastic Anemia in a Pediatric Kidney Transplant Recipient

open access: yesPediatric Transplantation, Volume 29, Issue 5, August 2025.
ABSTRACT Background Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) in solid organ transplant recipients has been reported in adults. However, data on children are scarce. We report a case of an allogeneic HSCT in a 14‐year‐old girl to treat idiopathic very severe aplastic anemia (SAA). Case Presentation The girl developed end‐stage renal disease at the

Long Term Sequelae of Mild RSV Infections in Healthy Children Aged 0–3 Years in the Primary Care Setting—A Prospective Two Year Follow Up Observational Study

open access: yesJournal of Medical Virology, Volume 97, Issue 6, June 2025.
ABSTRACT Children with an early severe respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection have an increased risk of wheezing later in life. This longitudinal study aimed to investigate whether children with a mild RSV infection taken care of in a primary health care setting had an increased incidence of wheezing in the 2 years following infection compared to ...
