Viral evasion of a bacterial suicide system by RNA-based molecular mimicry enables infectious altruism.

open access: yesPLoS Genetics, 2012
Abortive infection, during which an infected bacterial cell commits altruistic suicide to destroy the replicating bacteriophage and protect the clonal population, can be mediated by toxin-antitoxin systems such as the Type III protein-RNA toxin-antitoxin

Druggability of bacterial toxins-antitoxins [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
53 p.-8 fig.-3 tab.Type II (proteic) toxin-antitoxin (TA) operons are widely spread in bacteria and archaea. They are organized as operons in which, usually, the antitoxin gene precedes the cognate toxin gene.

On the Danysz Effect with reference to the Toxin-antitoxin Reaction [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Hygiene, 1907
Svante Arrhenius (1908) has taken exception to my criticism (1907) of his interpretation of the Danysz Effect with reference to the Toxin-Antitoxin reaction. In this paper he has given an interesting but rather far-fetched analogy to the Danysz Effect, which is, according to him, purely chemical in character and subject to the laws of chemical mass ...

Caracterização da interação HipAB na Shewanella oneidensis MR1 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Mestrado em BioquímicaBacterial resistance is a major issue in research related to environmental and public health, due to the ineffectiveness of antibiotics, resulting from a subpopulation of bacterial cells entering a dormant state.

Resonant activation: a strategy against bacterial persistence

open access: yes, 2010
A bacterial colony may develop a small number of cells genetically identical to, but phenotypically different from other normally growing bacteria. These so-called persister cells keep themselves in a dormant state and thus are insensitive to antibiotic ...

Type I Toxin-Antitoxin Systems in Clostridia [PDF]

open access: yesToxins, 2019
Type I toxin-antitoxin (TA) modules are abundant in both bacterial plasmids and chromosomes and usually encode a small hydrophobic toxic protein and an antisense RNA acting as an antitoxin. The RNA antitoxin neutralizes toxin mRNA by inhibiting its translation and/or promoting its degradation.

Determination of low tetanus or diphtheria antitoxin titers in sera by a toxin neutralization assay and a modified toxin-binding inhibition test

open access: yesBrazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 2007
A method for the screening of tetanus and diphtheria antibodies in serum using anatoxin (inactivated toxin) instead of toxin was developed as an alternative to the in vivo toxin neutralization assay based on the toxin-binding inhibition test (TOBI test).
