Challenges of Diphtheria Toxin Detection
Diphtheria toxin (DT) is the main virulence factor of Corynebacterium diphtheriae, C. ulcerans and C. pseudotuberculosis. Moreover, new Corynebacterium species with the potential to produce diphtheria toxin have also been described. Therefore, the detection of the toxin is the most important test in the microbiological diagnosis of diphtheria and other

Clinical progress note: Pertussis
Abstract Pertussis, commonly known as whooping cough, is a vaccine‐preventable respiratory disease with rising incidence due to declining vaccination rates and waning immunity. The most severe disease course is seen in unvaccinated or incompletely vaccinated infants less than 2 months of age, accounting for the largest burden of hospitalization and ...

The study explored the clinical characteristics and risk factors of HBoV‐positive severe pneumonia in children. These findings indicate that HBoV can be identified in respiratory samples from children with severe pneumonia, denoting its role as a viral pathogen in hospitalized children with this condition.

Proteome Analysis of Corynebacterium diphtheriae–Macrophage Interaction
ABSTRACT Contact of Corynebacterium diphtheriae with macrophages induces adaptations on both bacterial and cellular sides. The study presented here was aiming to shed light on the simultaneous intracellular adaptation of the bacteria and changes in the proteome of the phagocytes in response to the internalization of C. diphtheriae.

On the Toxin Production of the Diphtheria Bacillus [PDF]
Everyone who has been occupied with the weekly production of diphtheria toxin in quantity has been struck with the great variations which may and usually do occur in the strength of the toxin from week to week. It is indeed extraordinary as Madsen remarks (1908, p.

Data were included from adolescents with moderate‐to‐severe AD treated with the JAK1 inhibitor abrocitinib (200 mg/100 mg) across JADE clinical trials. Improvements in skin clearance (per EASI‐75) and itch (per PP‐NRS4) were maintained for up to 112 weeks with both abrocitinib doses.

Diphtheria toxin: nucleotide binding and toxin heterogeneity. [PDF]
We have used flow dialysis to demonstrate binding of ATP and related compounds to diphtheria toxin. The results define a new site on the toxin molecule (the P site), which has distinctly different properties from the NAD+-binding site of the fragment A moiety.

Vaccination plays a crucial role in mediating protection against infectious diseases, but immune responses to vaccination are highly variable and frequently sub‐optimal in vulnerable populations. Here, we review the latest preclinical and clinical evidence demonstrating that the gut microbiota plays a significant role in regulating immune responses to ...

Derivatives of MOPS: promising scaffolds for SARS coronaviruses Macro domain‐targeted inhibition
The SARS‐CoV/CoV‐2 genome encodes non‐structural protein 3, which contains a ‘Macro domain’. This protein domain exhibits antagonistic activity against interferon signaling, which disrupts the host innate immune response and can thus mediate viral escape, highlighting its therapeutic potential.
