Basis of Virulence in Enterotoxin-Mediated Staphylococcal Food Poisoning

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2018
The Staphylococcus aureus enterotoxins are a superfamily of secreted virulence factors that share structural and functional similarities and possess potent superantigenic activity causing disruptions in adaptive immunity.

Characterization of the Toxigenic Potential of Bacillus cereus sensu lato Isolated from Raw Berries and Their Products

open access: yesFoods, 2023
Bacillus cereus is estimated to be responsible for 1.4–12% of all food poisoning outbreaks worldwide. The objective of this study was to investigate the toxigenic potential of 181 isolates of B. cereus previously recovered from different types of berries

The first documented case of enterocolitis in Yugoslavia caused by enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli 0517 [PDF]

open access: yesVojnosanitetski Pregled, 2003
A ‘new’ group of pathogenic agents, enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) (particularly the strains of O157 serogroup), emerged in the last 20 years causing an increased number of sporadic and epidemic diarrhoeal diseases with hemorrhagic ...

Further Insights into the Toxicity of Bacillus cytotoxicus Based on Toxin Gene Profiling and Vero Cell Cytotoxicity Assays

open access: yesToxins, 2021
Bacillus cytotoxicus belongs to the Bacillus cereus group that also comprises the foodborne pathogen Bacillus cereus sensu stricto, Bacillus anthracis causing anthrax, as well as the biopesticide Bacillus thuringiensis. The first B.

The Removal of Endo- and Enterotoxins From Bacteriophage Preparations

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2019
The production of phages for therapeutic purposes demands fast, efficient and scalable purification procedures. Phage lysates have a wide range of impurities, of which endotoxins of gram-negative bacteria and protein toxins produced by many pathogenic ...

Staphylococcus aureus enterotoxins modulate IL-22-secreting cells in adults with atopic dermatitis

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2018
Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic inflammatory immune-mediated skin disease characterized by skin colonization by Staphylococcus aureus. Interleukin (IL)-22, in cooperation with IL-17, triggers antimicrobial peptide elaboration and enhances certain ...

Staphylococcus aureus growth and enterotoxin production in different types of milk

open access: yesActa Universitatis Agriculturae et Silviculturae Mendelianae Brunensis, 2012
The aim of our study was to assess Staphylococcus aureus growth and the time of first detection of staphylococcal enterotoxins type A, B and C (SEA, SEB, SEC) in different type of milk, depending on the strain and storage conditions.

Heat-Labile Enterotoxin Decreases Macrophage Phagocytosis of Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli

open access: yesMicroorganisms, 2023
Enterotoxigenic E. coli (ETEC) are endemic in low-resource settings and cause robust secretory diarrheal disease in children less than five years of age. ETEC cause secretory diarrhea by producing the heat-stable (ST) and/or heat-labile (LT) enterotoxins.

Staphylococcal Enterotoxins Dose-Dependently Modulate the Generation of Myeloid-Derived Suppressor Cells

open access: yesFrontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2018
Staphylococcus aureus is one of the major human bacterial pathogens causing a broad spectrum of serious infections. Myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSC) represent an innate immune cell subset capable of regulating host-pathogen interactions, yet their
