Feasibility of blood self-sampling with HemaSpot HF for Anti-Clostridium tetani Toxin IgG detection [PDF]
Sci RepHealth research in humans often requires biosamples, e.g. blood. However, collecting venous blood samples poses multiple logistic challenges and needs to be carried by practitioners at study centres.

Identification of a non-coding RNA and its putative involvement in the regulation of tetanus toxin synthesis in Clostridium tetani [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2021 Clostridium tetani produces the tetanus toxin (TeNT), one of the most powerful bacterial toxins known to humankind and responsible for tetanus. The regulation of toxin expression is complex and involves the alternative sigma factor TetR as well as other ...

Comparative pathogenomic analysis reveals a highly tetanus toxin-producing clade of Clostridium tetani isolates in Japan [PDF]
mSphere, 2023 Clostridium tetani is the etiological agent of the disease tetanus, resulting in various symptoms, including neck tension, tongue-twisting, a decline in walking ability, and death in severe cases. To date, publicly available genome sequences of C. tetani

Tetanus Toxin Synthesis is Under the Control of A Complex Network of Regulatory Genes in Clostridium tetani [PDF]
Toxins, 2020 Clostridium tetani produces a potent neurotoxin, the tetanus toxin (TeNT), which is responsible for an often-fatal neurological disease (tetanus) characterized by spastic paralysis.

Clostridium tetani bacteraemia in the plague area in France: Two cases [PDF]
Current Research in Microbial SciencesClostridium tetani (C. tetani) bacteraemia is a rare situation, with only four case reports in the literature. Fourteen teeth from the 1590 plague site in Fédons, France, were surface decontaminated before the pulp was cultured under strict anaerobiosis ...

HLA-DR3 restricted environmental epitopes from the bacterium Clostridium tetani have T cell cross-reactivity to the SLE-related autoantigen SmD [PDF]
Front Immunol, 2022 HLA-DR3 (DR3) is one of the dominant HLA-DR alleles associated with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) susceptibility. Our previous studies showed multiple intramolecular DR3 restricted T cell epitopes in the Smith D (SmD) protein, from which we ...
