Population genomics and antimicrobial resistance in Corynebacterium diphtheriae

Genome Medicine, 2020
Background Corynebacterium diphtheriae, the agent of diphtheria, is a genetically diverse bacterial species. Although antimicrobial resistance has emerged against several drugs including first-line penicillin, the genomic determinants and population ...

Transmission of toxigenic Corynebacterium ulcerans infection with airway obstruction from cats to a human

Acute Medicine & Surgery, 2021
Background Infections caused by Corynebacterium ulcerans, a zoonotic pathogen, have been reported worldwide. This microorganism is known to produce the diphtheria toxin and cause diphtheria‐like illness.

Loss of murine Paneth cell function alters the immature intestinal microbiome and mimics changes seen in neonatal necrotizing enterocolitis [PDF]

, 2018
Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) remains the leading cause of gastrointestinal morbidity and mortality in premature infants. Human and animal studies suggest a role for Paneth cells in NEC pathogenesis.

Does counseling increase sustained benefit of HAART among prison inmates after release to the community? [PDF]

, 2005
The lack of sustained effectiveness of HAART after release to the community of HIV-infected inmates treated in prison was well demonstrated by Springer et al. in a recent article.

Targeting EZH2 Reprograms Intratumoral Regulatory T Cells to Enhance Cancer Immunity. [PDF]

, 2018
Regulatory T cells (Tregs) are critical for maintaining immune homeostasis, but their presence in tumor tissues impairs anti-tumor immunity and portends poor prognoses in cancer patients.

Targeting the PDK1/c‐Myc/SOX10 Signaling in Oligodendrocytes Alleviates Neuropathic Pain

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This work reveals that oligodendrocyte homeostasis, mediated by PDK1, is a critical determinant of neuropathic pain (NPP) pathogenesis. Disruption of PDK1 in oligodendrocytes impairs SOX10‐dependent myelination programs through c‐Myc accumulation, leading to disrupted myelination and the pathophysiology of NPP.

Rare human skin infection with Corynebacterium ulcerans: transmission by a domestic cat [PDF]

, 2018
Corynebacterium ulcerans is mainly known for its ability to cause animal infections. Some strains of C. ulcerans produce diphtheria toxin, which can cause life-threatening cardiopathies and neuropathies in humans. Human cutaneous C. ulcerans infection is

Severe pertussis infection in infants less than 6 months of age: clinical manifestations and molecular characterization [PDF]

, 2017
We conducted a study to determine the main traits of pertussis among unimmunized infants less than 6 months of age. From August 2012 to March 2015, 141 nasopharyngeal aspirates (NPAs) were collected from infants with respiratory symptoms attending 2

Kinetics of Diphtheria Toxin Formation [PDF]

Journal of General Microbiology, 1962
SUMMARY: Studies on the kinetics of diphtheria toxin formation in iron-free culture media by variants of the PW no. 8 strain of Corynebacterium diphtheriae labelled with 14C-phenylalanine or 35S-methionine, showed that the toxin protein was synthesized de novo from amino acids by growing organisms.

Distinct Immunomodulatory Strategies Guide Mesenchymal Stromal/Stem Cell‐Mediated Bone Regeneration

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Bone regeneration by mesenchymal stem cells is strongly influenced by immune signals. This study shows that priming stem cells with regulatory immune cells or an inflammation‐resolving lipid molecule enhances bone formation through distinct immune pathways.
