Molecular Characterisation of Fungi Populations in the Chronic Wounds of Filarial Lymphedema Patients in Southern Ghana: A Cross‐Sectional Study

open access: yesHealth Science Reports, Volume 8, Issue 11, November 2025.
ABSTRACT Background and Aims Lymphatic filariasis (LF) and associated chronic wounds are of public health concern worldwide. Despite the significant burden of lymphatic filariasis (LF) and its associated chronic wounds, the fungal component of the wound microbiome remains poorly understood. Previous research has primarily focused on bacterial pathogens,

Methionine sulfoxide reductase B from Corynebacterium diphtheriae catalyzes sulfoxide reduction via an intramolecular disulfide cascade

open access: yesJournal of Biological Chemistry, 2020
Corynebacterium diphtheriae is a human pathogen that causes diphtheria. In response to immune system-induced oxidative stress, C. diphtheriae expresses antioxidant enzymes, among which are methionine sulfoxide reductase (Msr) enzymes, which are critical ...

Severe Pneumonia Caused by Toxigenic Corynebacterium ulcerans Infection, Japan

open access: yesEmerging Infectious Diseases, 2018
Corynebacterium ulcerans infection was recently recognized as a zoonosis. We present 2 cases of severe pneumonia complicated by diffuse pseudomembrane formation on the bronchus caused by C. ulcerans–producing diphtheria toxin.

Impact of NLRP1 Met1154Val and IL1B variants on gestational malaria: an unexplored role of NLRP1 in inflammasome activation by Plasmodium spp.

open access: yesThe Journal of Pathology, Volume 267, Issue 3, Page 304-314, November 2025.
Abstract We hypothesized that variants in inflammasome‐related genes could influence susceptibility to gestational malaria (GM). To test this, we conducted an association study in a cohort of pregnant women from a malaria‐endemic region in northern Brazil, assessing whether specific functional single nucleotide variants (SNVs) in inflammasome genes ...

Direct PCR: Alternative Diagnostic Method for Diagnosis of Diphtheria Rapidly, Easily and Cost Effective [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Some diseases require immediate and appropriate treatment to decrease the fatality risk patients incident, for example diphtheria. Time to help patients is very crucial since delay of therapy may increase the mortality cases up to 20 times.

Diphtheria: A case series from West Maharashtra, India

open access: yesJournal of Medical Sciences and Health, 2022
Diphtheria is an acute infectious toxin mediated disease caused by Corynebacterium diphtheriae. Effective vaccination has decreased the incidence of disease globally. However, despite of a full-fledged Universal Immunization Programme, the cases

Polyanhydride‐Based Microparticles for Programmable Pulsatile Release of Diphtheria Toxoid (DT) for Single‐Injection Self‐Boosting Vaccines

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, Volume 37, Issue 32, August 14, 2025.
This study presents a polyanhydride‐based delivery platform for single‐injection, self‐boosting vaccines. The system enables programmable, pulsatile release of diphtheria toxoid with high antigen recovery and is guided by machine learning for tunability. In vivo results show immune responses comparable to multi‐dose regimens, highlighting its potential
