Conflicting Clinical Presentation of Infection with Clostridium botulinum and Clostridium perfringens in a 5-Month-Old Infant

Journal of Pediatrics: Clinical Practice
We present a 5-month-old infant with a 1-day history of poor feeding and sudden progression into generalized weakness including septic shock syndrome after consumption of homemade food. Botulism and sepsis symptoms could be explained by the presence of a

Generation and Characterization of Six Recombinant Botulinum Neurotoxins as Reference Material to Serve in an International Proficiency Test

Toxins, 2015
The detection and identification of botulinum neurotoxins (BoNT) is complex due to the existence of seven serotypes, derived mosaic toxins and more than 40 subtypes. Expert laboratories currently use different technical approaches to detect, identify and

Harnessing the Power of Venomous Animal-Derived Toxins against COVID-19

Toxins, 2023
Animal-derived venoms are complex mixtures of toxins triggering important biological effects during envenomings. Although venom-derived toxins are known for their potential of causing harm to victims, toxins can also act as pharmacological agents. During

Glycan Profile and Sequence Variants of Certified Ricin Reference Material and Other Ricin Samples Yield Unique Molecular Signature Features

Toxins
A certified reference material of ricin (CRM-LS-1) was produced by the EuroBioTox consortium to standardise the analysis of this biotoxin. This study established the N-glycan structures and proportions including their loci and occupancy of ricin CRM-LS-1.

Recommended Immunological Strategies to Screen for Botulinum Neurotoxin-Containing Samples

Toxins, 2015
Botulinum neurotoxins (BoNTs) cause the life-threatening neurological illness botulism in humans and animals and are divided into seven serotypes (BoNT/A–G), of which serotypes A, B, E, and F cause the disease in humans. BoNTs are classified as “category

The VgrG Proteins Are "à la Carte" Delivery Systems for Bacterial Type VI Effectors [PDF]

, 2014
The bacterial type VI secretion system (T6SS) is a supra-molecular complex akin to bacteriophage tails, with VgrG proteins acting as a puncturing device. The Pseudomonas aeruginosa H1-T6SS has been extensively characterized.

Clinical Insights Into Hypercalcemia of Malignancy in Childhood

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Hypercalcemia of malignancy (HCM) is a rare but life‐threatening metabolic emergency in children that occurs in less than 1% of pediatric cancer cases, with a reported incidence ranging from 0.4% to 1.0% across different studies. While it is observed in 10%–20% of adult malignancies, pediatric HCM remains relatively uncommon.
