Reservoir of Bacterial Exotoxin Genes in the Environment

International Journal of Microbiology, 2010
Many bacteria produce secreted virulence factors called exotoxins. Exotoxins are often encoded by mobile genetic elements, including bacteriophage (phage). Phage can transfer genetic information to the bacteria they infect.

Identification of a Chitin-Binding Protein Secreted by Pseudomonas aeruginosa [PDF]

, 1999
One of the major proteins secreted by Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a 43-kDa protein, which is cleaved by elastase into smaller fragments, including a 30-kDa and a 23-kDa fragment. The N-terminal 23-kDa fragment was previously suggested as corresponding to

Advances in Atopic Dermatitis Treatment: From Pathogenesis to Natural Product‐Based Therapies

Phytotherapy Research, Volume 39, Issue 10, Page 4444-4473, October 2025.
NPs improve atopic dermatitis mainly include flavonoids, phenols, glycosides, alkaloids, and others. ABSTRACT Atopic dermatitis (AD), a widespread and chronic inflammatory skin disorder, profoundly affects patients' quality of life, imposes significant psychological strain, and adds to the public health burden.

Type IV Pili Can Mediate Bacterial Motility within Epithelial Cells. [PDF]

, 2019
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is among bacterial pathogens capable of twitching motility, a form of surface-associated movement dependent on type IV pili (T4P). Previously, we showed that T4P and twitching were required for P.

The Immunomodulatory Effect of Recombinant Exotoxin A of Pseudomonas Aeruginosa on Dendritic Cells Extracted from Mice Spleen

Journal of Fasa University of Medical Sciences, 2015
Background & Objective: Dendritic cell (DC) is as a key cell in activation of immune response against microbes and disease. Therefore, the effect of recombinant exotoxin A of Pseudomonas aeruginosa on the maturity and the activation of DCs was evaluated ...

Genomic Analysis and Virulence Features of Vibrio cholerae Non‐O1/Non‐O139 Harbouring CARB‐Type β‐Lactamases From Freshwater Bodies, Argentina

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 17, Issue 5, October 2025.
Genomic analysis of ampicillin‐resistant Vibrio cholerae non‐O1/non‐O139 from central Argentina's freshwater bodies identified four novel CARB‐β‐lactamase variants linked to the V. cholerae superintegron. An unusual VPI‐1 arrangement encoding the TCP pilus and a type VI secretion system subclass i5 was also found, associated with increased ...

Therapeutic efficacy of Cintredekin Besudotox (IL13-PE38QQR) in murine lung fibrosis is unaffected by immunity to Pseudomonas aeruginosa exotoxin A.

PLoS ONE, 2010
BackgroundWe have previously explored a therapeutic strategy for specifically targeting the profibrotic activity of IL-13 during experimental pulmonary fibrosis using a fusion protein comprised of human IL-13 and a mutated form of Pseudomonas aeruginosa ...

Ecthyma gangrenosum caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa in a patient with astrocytoma treated with chemotherapy [PDF]

, 2010
Ecthyma gangrenosum, presenting as embolic lesions caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection, has distinct pathognomonic features and a high mortality rate in patients with bacteremia, but when recognized early is easily treated.

Cloning and expression of the immunogenic moiety of Pseudomonas aeruginosa exotoxin A

Biological Journal of Microorganism, 2013
Introduction: Pseudomonas aeruginosa, as an opportunistic microorganism, is a major cause of nosocomial infections worldwide. Exotoxin A (ETA) is an extracellular enzyme that is produced by most clinical strains of P. aeruginosa.
