IL-1β secretion induced by Aggregatibacter (Actinobacillus) actinomycetemcomitans is mainly caused by the leukotoxin

open access: yesInternational Journal of Medical Microbiology, 2008
Aggregatibacter (Actinobacillus) actinomycetemcomitans forms a leukotoxin that selectively lyses primate neutrophils, monocytes and triggers apoptosis in promyeloic cells and degranulation of human neutrophils.

Fusobacterium equinum possesses a leukotoxin gene and exhibits leukotoxin activity

Veterinary Microbiology, 2008
Fusobacterium equinum, a gram negative, rod-shaped and an obligate anaerobic bacterium is a newly described species. The organism is associated with necrotic infections of the respiratory tract in horses that include necrotizing pneumonia, pleuritis and paraoral infections. The species is closely related to F. necrophorum that causes liver abscesses in

Leukotoxin-Diol

American Journal of Respiratory Cell and Molecular Biology, 2001
Abstract Leukotoxin is clinically associated with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Recently, we found that leukotoxin-diol, the hydrated product of leukotoxin, is more toxic than the parent leukotoxin in vitro (Moghaddam and colleagues, Nature Med. 1997;3:562–566).

Pasteurella haemolytica leukotoxin: Physicochemical characteristics and susceptibility of leukotoxin to enzymatic treatment

American Journal of Veterinary Research, 1986
SUMMARY Sterile, concentrated culture supernatant from Pasteurella haemolytica (biotype A, serotype 1) strain 630 was subjected to physical, chemical, and immunologic treatments to determine their influence on leukotoxin (cytotoxin) activity contained in the supernatant.

Leukotoxins of gram-negative bacteria

Veterinary Microbiology, 2002
Leukotoxins are a group of exotoxins that produce their primary toxic effects against leukocytes, especially polymorphonuclear cells (PMNs). Leukotoxins include a variety of chemicals ranging from 9,10-epoxy 12-octadecenoate, a fatty acid derivative secreted by leukocytes themselves, to proteins such as RTX (repeats in toxin).

Leukotoxin operon and differential expressions of the leukotoxin gene in bovine Fusobacterium necrophorum subspecies

Anaerobe, 2008
Liver abscesses in cattle are associated primarily with Fusobacterium necrophorum, a gram negative, pleomorphic, and obligate anaerobe. In cattle, the organism is a normal inhabitant of the rumen and an opportunistic pathogen. There are two subspecies: subsp. necrophorum and subsp. funduliforme. Subspecies necrophorum is more frequently isolated, often

Isolation of Pasteurella haemolytica leukotoxin mutants

Infection and Immunity, 1995
Two mutants of Pasteurella haemolytica A1 that do not produce leukotoxin were isolated. Following mutagenesis, colonies were screened with antiserum by a filter assay for absence of the secreted leukotoxin. The two mutants both appeared to produce normal amounts of other antigens, as judged by reactivity with polyclonal serum from an animal with ...

Hemolytic activity of the Pasteurella haemolytica leukotoxin

Infection and Immunity, 1995
A Pasteurella haemolytica mutant incapable of producing leukotoxin was created by allelic replacement. Concentrated culture supernatants from wild-type P. haemolytica, but not from the mutant, contained the 102-kDa leukotoxin protein and lysed bovine lymphoma cells and sheep erythrocytes. Wild-type P. haemolytica demonstrated the typical beta-hemolytic
