Access to diphtheria antitoxin for therapy and diagnostics.
Euro surveillance : bulletin Europeen sur les maladies transmissibles = European communicable disease bulletin, 2014 The most effective treatment for diphtheria is swift administration of diphtheria antitoxin (DAT) with conjunct antibiotic therapy. DAT is an equine immunoglobulin preparation and listed among the World Health Organization Essential Medicines.

Эпидемиология и вакцинопрофилактика, 2018 The diphtheria carriage is a asympthomatic colonization of oro- and nasopharynx by toxigenic and nontoxigenic Corynebacterium diphtheriae. The carriage of toxigenic strains prevents a complete eradication of diphtheria infection in spite of mass toxoid ...

A Perturbative Approach to the Analysis of Many-Compartment Models Characterized by the Presence of Waning Immunity [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 The waning of immunity after recovery or vaccination is a major factor accounting for the severity and prolonged duration of an array of epidemics, ranging from COVID-19 to diphtheria and pertussis. To study the effectiveness of different immunity level-based vaccination schemes in mitigating the impact of waning immunity, we construct epidemiological ...

Diphtheria Antitoxin Levels in the Netherlands: a Population-Based Study
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 1999 In a population-based study in the Netherlands, diphtheria antitoxin antibodies were measured with a toxin-binding inhibition assay in 9,134 sera from the general population and religious communities refusing vaccination.

Diverse ATPase proteins in mobilomes constitute a large potential sink for prokaryotic host ATP [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 Prokaryote mobilome genomes rely on host machineries for survival and replication. Given that mobile genetic elements (MGEs) derive their energy from host cells, we investigated the diversity of ATP-utilizing proteins in MGE genomes to determine whether they might be associated with proteins that could suppress related host proteins that consume host ...

Modeling sRNA-regulated Plasmid Maintenance [PDF]
, 2016 We study a theoretical model for the toxin-antitoxin (hok/sok) mechanism for plasmid maintenance in bacteria. Toxin-antitoxin systems enforce the maintenance of a plasmid through post-segregational killing of cells that have lost the plasmid. Key to their function is the tight regulation of expression of a protein toxin by an sRNA antitoxin.

European Journal of Theoretical and Applied SciencesDiphtheria, a bacterial infection caused by Corynebacterium diphtheriae, remains a significant public health concern worldwide. In this study, we employ mathematical modeling to analyze the spread and control of diphtheria, focusing on the efficacy of ...
