Deep Tracking Neck Abscesses, Mediastinitis, and Deep Vein Thrombosis Caused by Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans

open access: yesClinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT This case report describes a novel presentation of Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans causing deep neck abscess, mediastinitis, and deep vein thrombosis. Clinicians should be aware that this organism can cause invasive extra‐oral infection.

Editorial Comments to the Special Issue: “Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans—Gram-Negative Bacterial Pathogen”

open access: yesPathogens, 2020
Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans is a periodontal pathogen colonizing the oral cavity in many individuals of the human population. It is equipped with several potent virulence factors that can cause cell death and induce or evade the host ...

Mucosa-Environment Interactions in the Pathogenesis of Rheumatoid Arthritis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Mucosal surfaces play a central role in the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Several risk factors, such as cigarette smoking, environmental pollution, and periodontitis interact with the host at the mucosal level, triggering immune system ...

Immunology of the Outer Membrane Proteins of Pasteurella Haemolytica A2, A7 and A9 in Sheep [PDF]

open access: yes, 1999
Pneumonic pasteurellosis is a common respiratory disease of goats and sheep throughout the world, including Malaysia. In Malaysia, Pasteurella haemolytica A2 is most commonly isolated from cases of pneumonic pasteurellosis in sheep and goats followed by ...

Effects of Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans leukotoxin on endothelial cells

open access: yesMicrobial Pathogenesis, 2013
Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans is a human pathogen that produces leukotoxin (LtxA) as a major virulence factor. In this study the effect of LtxA on microvascular endothelial cell viability and phenotype was studied. High doses of single LtxA treatment (500 ng/ml to 5 μg/ml) significantly and irreversibly decreased cell proliferation and induced ...

Genome Analysis of Staphylococcus aureus Isolated From the Feces of Diarrheal Patients in the Region of East China, 2019–2024

open access: yesInternational Journal of Food Science, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Staphylococcus aureus is a leading cause of foodborne diarrhea, primarily due to staphylococcal enterotoxins (SEs). This study employed whole‐genome sequencing to characterize 106 S. aureus isolates from diarrheal patients in East China (2019–2024). We identified 23 sequence types, with ST398 (22.6%) and ST5 (7.5%) among the most prevalent.

The Extracellular Domain of the β2 Integrin β Subunit (CD18) Is Sufficient for Escherichia coli Hemolysin and Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans Leukotoxin Cytotoxic Activity

open access: yesmBio, 2019
The Escherichia coli hemolysin (HlyA) is a pore-forming exotoxin associated with severe complications of human urinary tract infections. HlyA is the prototype of the repeats-in-toxin (RTX) family, which includes LtxA from Aggregatibacter ...

Lipopolysaccharides mediate leukotoxin secretion in Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans [PDF]

open access: yesMolecular Oral Microbiology, 2011
SummaryWe previously reported that lipopolysaccharide (LPS) ‐related sugars are associated with the glycosylation of the collagen adhesin EmaA, a virulence determinant of Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans. In this study, the role of LPS in the secretion of other virulence factors was investigated.

Periodontitis Salivary Microbiota Exacerbates Murine Rheumatoid Arthritis via Gut Dysbiosis and Immune Dysregulation

open access: yesThe FASEB Journal, Volume 39, Issue 23, 15 December 2025.
Salivary multiomics from healthy, PD, RA, and PD‐RA cohorts identified PD−/RA‐linked microbial and metabolic signatures. We then transplanted salivary microbiota from a PD donor or a healthy donor into collagen‐induced arthritis mice. PD microbiota colonized the gut, reshaped communities, weakened epithelial tight junctions, and provoked systemic ...

Microbial Community Composition Impacts Pathogen Iron Availability during Polymicrobial Infection [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Iron is an essential nutrient for bacterial pathogenesis, but in the host, iron is tightly sequestered, limiting its availability for bacterial growth. Although this is an important arm of host immunity, most studies examine how bacteria respond to iron ...
