Corynebacterium diphtheriae: Diphtheria Toxin, the tox Operon, and Its Regulation by Fe2+ Activation of apo-DtxR

Microbiology spectrum, 2019
Diphtheria is one of the most well studied of all the bacterial infectious diseases. These milestone studies of toxigenic Corynebacterium diphtheriae along with its primary virulence determinant, diphtheria toxin, have established the paradigm for the ...

The multiple roles of the NlpC_P60 peptidase family in mycobacteria – an underexplored target for antimicrobial drug discovery

FEBS Letters, Volume 599, Issue 9, Page 1203-1221, May 2025.
The NlpC_P60 superfamily of peptidases is recognised by its key role in bacterial cell wall homeostasis. Recently, studies have also described the involvement of NlpC_P60‐like enzymes in bacterial competitive mechanisms and pathogenesis across several lineages.

Humoral Immunity to Measles, Mumps, Rubella, Diphtheria, Tetanus and Pertussis After Cancer Treatment in Children

Cancer Reports, Volume 8, Issue 5, May 2025.
ABSTRACT Background Treatment for pediatric malignancies has distinct effects on the immune system. Aims Our aim was to measure humoral immunity to measles, mumps and rubella (MMR), and diphtheria, tetanus and acellular pertussis (DTaP) vaccines after pediatric cancer treatment.

Association Between Thyroid Hormone Levels and Disease Prognosis in Guillain–Barré Syndrome: A Retrospective Study

Health Science Reports, Volume 8, Issue 5, May 2025.
ABSTRACT Introduction/Aims Guillain–Barré syndrome (GBS) is an immune‐mediated neuropathy characterized by progressive sensory and motor dysfunction, often accompanied by abnormal inflammatory markers and thyroid hormone levels. However, the underlying mechanisms and their impact on prognosis remain incompletely understood.
