Development of a Novel Polyleucine‐Based Immunopotentiator for Subunit Vaccines Against Group A Streptococcus

Small, EarlyView.
Self‐assembling amphiphilic peptide L15K6 is used as a novel immunoadjuvant for the development of a Group A Streptococcus vaccine. Robust antigen‐specific IgG responses are generated and manage to kill isolated strains of Group A Streptococcus. Cellular and bulk RNA sequencing data reveals that L15K6 regulates immune responses potentially through TLR ...

Plantar Purpura as the Initial Presentation of Viridians Streptococcal Shock Syndrome Secondary to Streptococcus gordonii Bacteremia

Canadian Journal of Infectious Diseases and Medical Microbiology, 2016
Viridians streptococcal shock syndrome is a subtype of toxic shock syndrome. Frequently, the diagnosis is missed initially because the clinical features are nonspecific.

Infectious Shock and Toxic Shock Syndrome Diagnoses in Hospitals, Colorado, USA

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2013
In Colorado, USA, diagnoses coded as toxic shock syndrome (TSS) constituted 27.3% of infectious shock cases during 1993–2006. The incidence of staphylococcal TSS did not change significantly overall or in female patients 10–49 years of age but increased ...

Primary Streptococcal Peritonitis in a Postpartum Patient: A Rare but Life‐Threatening Condition

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT We present the case of a 43‐year‐old postpartum woman who developed primary streptococcal peritonitis with a fulminant septic course requiring intensive care. Initial symptoms were nonspecific and improved temporarily, but the patient returned the next day with recurrent pain and markedly elevated inflammatory markers.

Insect‐Derived Bioactives for Glycemic Control and Gut Health: A Review

Food Frontiers, Volume 7, Issue 2, March 2026.
Insect‐derived bioactive compounds (e.g., peptides, polysaccharides) effectively regulate blood glucose through dual mechanisms: directly inhibiting carbohydrate‐digesting enzymes and glucose transporters, and indirectly modulating gut microbiota to enhance intestinal barrier integrity.

Surviving streptococcal toxic shock syndrome: a case report

Journal of Medical Case Reports, 2007
Streptococcal toxic shock syndrome and associated myositis caused by group A beta-hemolytic streptococcus pyogenes generally have a poor outcome despite aggressive operative treatment. Frequently the diagnosis is missed initially as the clinical features

Integrative Genomics Reveals Causal Pleiotropy and Therapeutic Opportunities at the Interface of Acute Pancreatitis and Infection

Journal of Hepato-Biliary-Pancreatic Sciences, Volume 33, Issue 3, Page 194-207, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Understanding the genetic links between acute pancreatitis (AP) and its infectious comorbidities is crucial for prognosis and therapy, yet remains underexplored. Methods We conducted a comprehensive post‐GWAS analysis using large‐scale summary statistics for AP and 16 infectious diseases. To pinpoint pleiotropic genes, we integrated

Therapeutic approaches to streptococcal toxic shock syndrome [PDF]

Current Infectious Disease Reports, 1999
The streptococcal toxic shock syndrome (STSS) is a severe, life-threatening condition characterized by hypotension and multiorgan system dysfunction associated with infection by the group A Streptococcus (GAS) or rarely by streptococci of other Lancefield serogroups. It is associated with a soft tissue infection, such as necrotizing fasciitis, in about
