PURIFICATION OF A PROTEIN TOXIN FROM CORYNEBACTERIUM ULCERANS [PDF]

Journal of Medical Microbiology, 1980
Toxin from Corynebacterium ulcerans strain 378 was purified 66-fold by ammonium sulphate fractionation, dialysis, gel filtration on Ultrogel AcA22, ion-exchange chromatography on DEAE-cellulose and gel filtration on AcA54. On polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis the purified material was homogeneous, staining for protein but not carbohydrate or lipid ...

Ion torrent-based transcriptional assessment of a Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis equi strain reveals denaturing high-performance liquid chromatography a promising rRNA depletion method [PDF]

, 2013
Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis equi is a Gram-positive pathogenic bacterium which affects a variety of hosts. Besides the great economic losses it causes to horse-breeders, this organism is also known to be an important infectious agent to cattle and

First detection of Corynebacterium ulcerans producing a diphtheria-like toxin in a case of human with pulmonary infection in the Rio de Janeiro metropolitan area, Brazil

Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2008
The frequency and severity of human infections associated with Corynebacterium ulcerans appear to be increasing in different countries. Here, we describe the first C. ulcerans strain producing a diphtheria-like toxin isolated from an elderly woman with a

Detection of Mycolactone A/B in Mycobacterium ulcerans-Infected Human Tissue. [PDF]

, 2010
BACKGROUND: Mycobacterium ulcerans disease (Buruli ulcer) is a neglected tropical disease common amongst children in rural West Africa. Animal experiments have shown that tissue destruction is caused by a toxin called mycolactone.

Weekly releases (1997–2007), 2002
A 59 year old woman was admitted to hospital with a three day history of a sore throat and increasing dysphagia. During treatment with oral penicillin for one day, pain and dysphagia progressed and the patient was admitted. On examination, she was afebrile, her soft palate and uvula were swollen, and a membraneous exudate was seen on the soft palate ...

Corynebacterium ulcerans 0102 carries the gene encoding diphtheria toxin on a prophage different from the C. diphtheriae NCTC 13129 prophage

BMC Microbiology, 2012
Background Corynebacterium ulcerans can cause a diphtheria-like illness, especially when the bacterium is lysogenized with a tox gene-carrying bacteriophage that produces diphtheria toxin. Acquisition of toxigenicity upon phage lysogenization is a common

First Detection of Mycobacterium ulcerans DNA in Environmental Samples from South America [PDF]

, 2014
The occurrences of many environmentally-persistent and zoonotic infections are driven by ecosystem changes, which in turn are underpinned by land-use modifications that alter the governance of pathogen, biodiversity and human interactions.

Prevalence of Corynebacterium ulcerans in dogs in Osaka, Japan [PDF]

Journal of Medical Microbiology, 2012
Diphtheria-like human illness caused by Corynebacterium ulcerans is an emerging threat in developed countries, with incidence sometimes higher than that of diphtheria caused by Corynebacterium diphtheriae. Companion animals are considered a potential source of human infections. In order to determine the prevalence of C.

A Case of Corynebacterium diphtheriae Native Mitral and Tricuspid Valve Infective Endocarditis Complicated by Shower Emboli

Case Reports in Cardiology, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Infective endocarditis is a rare phenomenon that may have devastating consequences. While uncommon, the spectrum of causative organisms can include Corynebacterium species. Corynebacterium diphtheriae endocarditis bears a high potential for systemic complications and overall mortality. We present a case of mitral and tricuspid native valve endocarditis
