Bacterial pyrogenic exotoxins as superantigens [PDF]
Clinical Microbiology Reviews, 1995 The recent discovery of the mode of interaction between a group of microbial proteins known as superantigens and the immune system has opened a wide area of investigation into the possible role of these molecules in human diseases. Superantigens produced by certain viruses and bacteria, including Mycoplasma species, are either secreted or membrane ...

DBETH: A Database of Bacterial Exotoxins for Human [PDF]
Nucleic Acids Research, 2011 Pathogenic bacteria produce protein toxins to survive in the hostile environments defined by the host's defense systems and immune response. Recent progresses in high-throughput genome sequencing and structure determination techniques have contributed to a better understanding of mechanisms of action of the bacterial toxins at the cellular and ...

Proteome Analysis of Corynebacterium diphtheriae–Macrophage Interaction
PROTEOMICS, EarlyView.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.

Cell membrane‐coated nanoparticles for dermatological diseases
VIEW, EarlyView.Skin disorders are challenging to treat due to complex barrier functions and limited conventional therapies. Biomimetic cell membrane‐coated nanoparticles (CM‐NPs) offer a superior nanomedicine approach by evading immune detection and enabling precise targeting.

Toxin-neutralizing antibodies protect against Clostridium perfringens-induced necrosis in an intestinal loop model for bovine necrohemorrhagic enteritis [PDF]
, 2016 Background: Bovine necrohemorrhagic enteritis is caused by Clostridium perfringens type A. Due to the rapid progress and fatal outcome of the disease, vaccination would be of high value. In this study, C.

Journal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.This review describes the features of grade C molar‐incisor pattern periodontitis and discusses the role of A. actinomycetemcomitans in its pathogenesis and why molars and incisors are preferably affected. Possible future studies on this aggressive disease in primary and permanent dentition and emerging omics techniques for diagnosis and management are
