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).

Production, Characterisation and Testing of an Ovine Antitoxin against Ricin; Efficacy, Potency and Mechanisms of Action

open access: yesToxins, 2017
Ricin is a type II ribosome-inactivating toxin that catalytically inactivates ribosomes ultimately leading to cell death. The toxicity of ricin along with the prevalence of castor beans (its natural source) has led to its increased notoriety and ...

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 ...

A marine plasmid hitchhiking vast phylogenetic and geographic distances [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) plays an important role in bacterial evolution and serves as a driving force for bacterial diversity and versatility. HGT events often involve mobile genetic elements like plasmids, which can promote their own dissemination

A novel type I toxin-antitoxin system modulates persister cell formation in Staphylococcus aureus

open access: yesInternational Journal of Medical Microbiology, 2020
A plethora of toxin-antitoxin systems exist in bacteria and has multilateral roles in bacterial pathogenesis and virulence. Toxin-antitoxin systems have been involved in persister cell formation in Escherichia coli and Mycobacterium but have not been ...
