egc Superantigens Impair Monocytes/Macrophages Inducing Cell Death and Inefficient Activation

Frontiers in Immunology, 2020
Bacterial superantigens (SAgs) are enterotoxins that bind to MHC-II and TCR molecules, activating as much as 20% of the T cell population and promoting a cytokine storm which enhances susceptibility to endotoxic shock, causing immunosuppression, and ...

Keratinocyte Priming by Staphylococcus aureus Reduces HSV‐1 Susceptibility

Allergy, Volume 81, Issue 8, Page 2843-2857, August 2026.
ADEH+ patients have a reduced microbial diversity with increased S. aureus and S. epidermidis colonization compared to ADEH− and healthy controls. Heat‐killed S. aureus reduced HSV‐1 susceptibility and release of infectious progeny virus in a keratinocyte in vitro model. Heat‐killed S.

The Antistaphylococcal Activity of Citropin 1.1 and Temporin A against Planktonic Cells and Biofilms Formed by Isolates from Patients with Atopic Dermatitis: An Assessment of Their Potential to Induce Microbial Resistance Compared to Conventional Antimicrobials

Pharmaceuticals, 2016
Staphylococcus aureus (SA) colonizes the vast majority of patients with atopic dermatitis (AD). Its resistance to antibiotics and ability to form biofilms are the main origins of therapeutic complications. Endogenous antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) exhibit

A Pilot qPCR Analysis of Superantigen-producing MRSA Presence in the Ear and Nose

Journal of Pure and Applied Microbiology
Microbial migration between the ear, throat, and nasal cavities can aggravate certain otorhinolaryngological conditions. For instance, Staphylococcus aureus colonization in the middle ear increases otitis media occurrence, while nasal colonization can ...

Two homologous sequences of Grp78 and HSP70 represent tumor antigens shared with streptococcal superantigens in eliciting an antitumor immune response: an immunoinformatic investigation

Frontiers in Immunology
Bacteria-based therapies have gained increasing attention as novel immunotherapeutic approaches against tumors. Among them, bacteria producing superantigen (SAg) toxins are considered particularly effective due to their ability to induce potent ...

Causes of Kawasaki Disease—From Past to Present

Frontiers in Pediatrics, 2019
Kawasaki disease (KD) is a multisystem vasculitis that primarily affects the coronary arteries of young children. The causes of KD remain a mystery. It is suspected that some sort of infectious agent is involved because KD has epidemicity and seasonality.
