Global analysis of gene expression reveals mRNA superinduction is required for the inducible immune response to a bacterial pathogen. [PDF]
The inducible innate immune response to infection requires a concerted process of gene expression that is regulated at multiple levels. Most global analyses of the innate immune response have focused on transcription induced by defined immunostimulatory ...

[Pseudomonas aeruginosa exotoxin].
Different P. aeruginosa strains have been found to differ in exotoxin synthesis. The strain isolated at the Mechnikov Research Institute for Vaccines and Sera (Moscow) and newly isolated cultures obtained from patients with the severe course of the infectious process have been found to possess the highest toxigenic activity and to synthesize exotoxins ...

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 ...

Novel approaches to the treatment of Pseudomonas aeruginosa infections in cystic fibrosis [PDF]
Pseudomonas aeruginosa chronically infects patients with cystic fibrosis and is associated with greater morbidity. There has been limited progress on the clinical development of new antibiotics with novel modes of action.

LRP1B functions as a receptor for Pseudomonas exotoxin
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic pathogen that produces several virulence factors, among them Pseudomonas Exotoxin A (PE). Previously, low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 1 (LRP 1) was shown to be the primary receptor for PE. In this report, we show that a close family member, LRP 1B, can also function as a receptor.

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

Background and Objectives: Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a ubiquitous opportunistic pathogen. The presence of several virulence factors such as exotoxin and exoenzyme genes and biofilm may contribute to its pathogenicity.

Exploring the genetics of irritable bowel syndrome: A GWA study in the general population and replication in multinational case-control cohorts [PDF]
OBJECTIVE: IBS shows genetic predisposition, but adequately powered gene-hunting efforts have been scarce so far. We sought to identify true IBS genetic risk factors by means of genome-wide association (GWA) and independent replication studies.

A bacterial exotoxin-triggered plant immune response restricts pathogen growth
Summary: For optimal growth and development, hosts must promote healthy symbiotic interactions while restricting pathogens. To ask whether hosts can distinguish phylogenetically similar pathogens and beneficial bacteria, we used two closely related plant
