Scarlet Fever Upsurge in England and Molecular-Genetic Analysis in North-West London, 2014

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2016
Scarlet fever notifications surged across the United Kingdom in spring 2014. Molecular epidemiologic investigation of Streptococcus pyogenes infections in North-West London highlighted increased emm4 and emm3 infections coincident with the upsurge ...

The lymphocyte function of allogeneic peripheral blood stem cell grafts is associated with relapse and cytomegalovirus reactivation

Transfusion, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is a treatment primarily for hematological malignancies. Infections, relapse, and graft versus host disease (GvHD) are some of the most common adverse events following HSCT. We aimed to evaluate whether the lymphocyte function of the stem cell graft was associated with these ...

Ibrutinib enhances the bias of T cell responses towards staphylococcal superantigens sustaining inflammation in chronic lymphocytic leukaemia

Frontiers in Immunology
Chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL) is an uncurable haematological malignancy and is associated with significant infection morbidity. Bruton’s tyrosine-kinase inhibitors (e.g., ibrutinib) have improved disease outcomes, but severe infections and poor ...

Genetic Diversity and Epidemiological Overlap of Staphylococcus aureus at the Animal–Food–Environment–Human Interface Within a One Health Framework

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 5, October 2026.
Integrating farm‐to‐fork and clinical surveillance, this study reveals distinct SCCmec distributions alongside shared spa types across human, animal, and food interfaces. The results of genetic diversity and epidemiological overlap underscore the critical need for coordinated One Health surveillance to monitor multi‐sectoral Staphylococcus aureus ...

Interplay between superantigens and immunoreceptors

, 2003
This thesis deals with the interactions between superantigens and their receptors. Superantigens are proteins that are secreted by various bacteria, such as Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus pyogenes.

Superantigens: microbial agents that corrupt immunity

, 2002
Microbial superantigens are a family of protein exotoxins that share the ability to trigger excessive and aberrant activation of T cells. The best characterised are the staphylococcal enterotoxins and the streptococcal pyrogenic exotoxins that trigger ...

Staphylococcal Virulence Factors on the Skin of Atopic Dermatitis Patients

mSphere, 2019
Staphylococcus aureus is the leading cause of skin and soft tissue infections, bacteremia, infective endocarditis, osteoarticular, pleuropulmonary, and device-related infections. Virulence factors secreted by S.

Mucosal‐Associated Invariant T Cells in Health and Disease

MedComm, Volume 7, Issue 10, October 2026.
The roles of MAIT cells in health and disease and their therapeutic applications. In healthy individuals, riboflavin metabolites secreted by commensal bacteria at mucosal sites are presented by MR1, leading to the activation of MAIT cells. Activated MAIT cells can maintain the barrier integrity of mucosal tissues in a steady state or migrate to the ...

Psoriasis and bacterial superantigens — formal or causal correlation?

, 1996
Superantigens have recently been identified as candidates for triggering crucial events in the development of psoriasis. Seemingly contradictory observations may complement each other when discussed in the context of the concept of an effector cell ...
