Corynebacterium ulcerans 0102 carries the gene encoding diphtheria toxin on a prophage different from the C. diphtheriae NCTC 13129 prophage

BMC Microbiology, 2012
Background Corynebacterium ulcerans can cause a diphtheria-like illness, especially when the bacterium is lysogenized with a tox gene-carrying bacteriophage that produces diphtheria toxin. Acquisition of toxigenicity upon phage lysogenization is a common

Toxin gene truncation via IS1132 in non-toxigenic toxin gene-bearing (NTTB) Corynebacterium diphtheriae

International Journal of Medical Microbiology
Background: Recently a Corynebacterium diphtheriae (C. diphtheriae) outbreak was reported in Europe described as the largest upsurge of cases in the last 70 years. Clinically relevant infections and transmission events are not necessarily associated only

Potential Antitonsillitis Metabolites From Endophytic Bacteria Associated With Aporosa octandra var. malesiana: A Metabolomic and Molecular Docking Study

International Journal of Microbiology, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Aporosa octandra var. malesiana is a native Sumatran plant traditionally used in treating throat‐related conditions, indicating a rich reservoir of bioactive constituents. Endophytic microorganisms are known to produce metabolites similar to those found in medicinal plants.

Silica Nanoparticles as Multifunctional Platforms for Vaccine Delivery and Immune Modulation in Infectious Diseases

Advanced NanoBiomed Research, Volume 5, Issue 12, December 2025.
Overview of the use of silica nanoparticles in vaccines against pathogens. Different kinds of vaccines against infectious diseases are currently using solid or mesoporous silica nanoparticles in their formulation. Silica microparticles and nanoparticles (SiNPs) have been studied as vehicles for vaccines.
