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

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.

Characterization of Pilin A and Thioredoxin A Mutant Strains of Acinetobacter baumannii, From a Transposon Insertion Library, for Pili Production and Virulence‐Associated Properties

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 14, Issue 6, December 2025.
Acinetobacter baumannii transposon insertion mutant strains ΔpilA and ΔtrxA display marked reductions of surface pili. The PilA (a major pilin protein) and TrxA (thioredoxin A) deficient bacteria also show attenuation in pathogenesis including the reduction of intestinal bacterial attachment, increased phagocytic uptake and decreased mortality from ...
