Chimeric carrier proteins for targeted delivery of tumor antigens to professional antigen presenting cells [PDF]
Tumor-specific T lymphocytes can be regarded as a highly effective mechanism for tumor rejection. A substantial number of T-cell defined tumor antigens including mutated oncoproteins and differentiation antigens have been identified.

Essential oils (EOs), derived from medicinal and aromatic plants, are natural mixtures of volatile, oily compounds with varying compositions and antibacterial mechanisms. Understanding the mechanisms of EOs and their components (EOCs) is essential for predicting their impacts on various microbes and their interactions with antibiotics.

DETECTION OF ExoT GENE IN LOCAL ISOLATES OF PSEUDOMONAS AUROGINOSA IN A SAMPLE OF BURN INFECTION
Background: Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa) is an opportunistic microorganism that requires damaged mucus membranes and epithelial tissues to cause acute infections. It had been stated that P.

Bacillus anthracis edema factor substrate specificity: evidence for new modes of action [PDF]
Since the isolation of Bacillus anthracis exotoxins in the 1960s, the detrimental activity of edema factor (EF) was considered as adenylyl cyclase activity only.

Mechanism of GSDMD in the Pathogenesis of Pasteurella multocida PmCQ2
Pasteurella multocida serotype A (PmCQ2), a Gram‐negative zoonotic pathogen, causes severe respiratory disease in a variety of domestic and wild animals, leading to high morbidity and mortality and substantial agricultural economic losses. Pyroptosis, a gasdermin‐mediated programmed cell death mechanism, facilitates pathogen clearance but exacerbates ...

Secondary Necrosis Following Caspase‐Activation can Occur Independently of Gasdermin E
Secondary necrosis follows apoptosis, but its mechanism is unclear. This study shows that although gasdermin E is cleaved during this process, it is not required for membrane rupture. Across multiple models, secondary necrosis occurred regardless of gasdermin E presence, challenging prior claims and redefining the understanding of how apoptotic cells ...

Quorum sensing communication between bacteria and human cells: signals, targets, and functions [PDF]
Both direct and long-range interactions between pathogenic Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacteria and their eukaryotic hosts are important in the outcome of infections. For cell-to-cell communication, these bacteria employ the quorum sensing (QS) system to pass

Phenotypic and Genotypic Profile of Enterobacteriaceae Isolated at a Teaching Hospital in Ghana
This study identified a significant prevalence of antimicrobial resistance determinants within Enterobacteriaceae isolates, with particular emphasis on those producing extended‐spectrum β‐lactamases (ESBL). These isolates harbored diverse antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs), plasmid replicons, and virulence factors (VFs), highlighting the imperative for
