Prophylactic and therapeutic protection of human IgG purified from sera containing anti-exotoxin A titers against pneumonia caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa

open access: yesHuman Vaccines & Immunotherapeutics, 2019
Antibodies are effective alternative tools to combat infections caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PA), especially multi-drug-resistant PA. Thus, to solve the urgent need for an anti-PA antibody drug, we hypothesized that anti-PA intravenous ...

Pseudomonas Exotoxin-Based Immunotoxins: Over Three Decades of Efforts on Targeting Cancer Cells With the Toxin

open access: yesFrontiers in Oncology, 2021
Cancer is one of the prominent causes of death worldwide. Despite the existence of various modalities for cancer treatment, many types of cancer remain uncured or develop resistance to therapeutic strategies.

Exotoxins ofStaphylococcus aureus [PDF]

open access: yesClinical Microbiology Reviews, 2000
SUMMARYThis article reviews the literature regarding the structure and function of two types of exotoxins expressed by Staphylococcus aureus, pyrogenic toxin superantigens (PTSAgs) and hemolysins. The molecular basis of PTSAg toxicity is presented in the context of two diseases known to be caused by these exotoxins: toxic shock syndrome and ...

Development and validation of an ELISA to detect antibodies to Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis in ovine sera [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Several enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs) have been developed for the detection of antibodies to Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis, the causative agent of caseous lymphadenitis (CLA). However, none are commercially available in the UK.

The exotoxins ofCorynebacterium ulcerans [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Hygiene, 1982
SummaryThe exotoxins produced by ten strains ofC. ulcerans(two human, six bovine and two equine) have been studied. On the criteria of toxin–antitoxin neutralisation and immunoprecipitation tests using highly specific diphtheria andC. ovisantitoxins with crude toxic filtrates, (NH4)2SO4concentrates, and partially purified chromatographic preparations ...

Living Microbial Drugs

open access: yesChemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
The introduction outlines the review scope. Microbial cell factories as living drugs cover host–gut microbiota, bacteria, yeast, and other microbial systems, with comparative host advantages. Engineering strategies include synthetic circuits, quorum sensing, and memory.

Screening for staphylococcal superantigen genes shows no correlation with the presence or the severity of chronic rhinosinusitis and nasal polyposis. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2010
BACKGROUND: Staphylococcus aureus secretes numerous exotoxins which may exhibit superantigenic properties. Whereas the virulence of several of them is well documented, their exact biological effects are not fully understood.

Antibiotic Remodeling of the Gut Microbiota Impairs Host Resistance to Secondary Infection

open access: yesiMetaMed, EarlyView.
Gut microbial dynamics induced by four antibiotics, revealed distinct taxonomic and functional shifts. Vancomycin‐perturbed bacteriomes were proven to promote pathogen resistance to antibiotic treatment. Metronidazole‐treated mice showed pronounced Salmonella translocation to hepatic tissue, and altered Enterococcus avium populations modulated host ...

Characterization and expression analysis of Staphylococcus aureus pathogenicity island 3 - Implications for the evolution of staphylococcal pathogenicity islands [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
We describe the complete sequence of the 15.9-kb staphylococcal pathogenicity island 3 encoding staphylococcal enterotoxin serotypes B, K, and Q. The island, which meets the generally accepted definition of pathogenicity islands, contains 24 open reading
