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

, 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.

Application of loop-mediated isothermal amplification combined with colorimetric and lateral flow dipstick visualization as the potential point-of-care testing for Corynebacterium diphtheriae

BMC Infectious Diseases, 2020
Background Diphtheria outbreaks occurred in endemic areas and imported and indigenous cases are reported in UE/EEA. Because of the high infectiveness and severity of the disease, early and accurate diagnosis of each suspected case is essential for the ...

A diphtheria outbreak in Johor Bahru, Malaysia: Public health investigation and response

Journal of Infection in Developing Countries, 2022
Introduction: Diphtheria is an acute infectious disease caused by Corynebacterium diphtheriae. Although the incidence of diphtheria worldwide has rapidly declined following the largely successful diphtheria toxoid-based vaccines, concerns persist for ...

The glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase GapDH of Corynebacterium diphtheriae is redox-controlled by protein S-mycothiolation under oxidative stress [PDF]

, 2017
Mycothiol (MSH) is the major low molecular weight (LMW) thiol in Actinomycetes and functions in post-translational thiol-modification by protein S-mycothiolation as emerging thiol-protection and redox-regulatory mechanism.

Late-onset prosthetic valve endocarditis caused by nontoxigenic Corynebacterium diphtheriae

Journal of Infection in Developing Countries, 2015
In developed countries, Corynebacterium diphtheriae infection is rare due to efficient immunization programs. However, cases of nontoxigenic strains of C. diphtheriae infections, including endocarditis, have been reported recently. Although the incidence

Phage‐mediated horizontal transfer of Salmonella enterica virulence genes with regulatory feedback from the host

iMeta, EarlyView.
In this study, we found evidence of phage‐mediated horizontal transfer of virulence genes in Salmonella enterica in global habitats from a molecular evolutionary perspective. Notably, csrA, a global regulator in Salmonella enterica, curbed horizontal gene transfer by inhibiting the cyclization and release of prophage.
