Inhibition of Toxic Shock Syndrome-Associated Staphylococcus aureus by Probiotic Lactobacilli
Staphylococcus aureus is a human pathogen with many infections originating on mucosal surfaces. One common group of S. aureus is the USA200 (CC30) clonal group, which produces toxic shock syndrome toxin-1 (TSST-1). Many USA200 infections occur on mucosal

Epithelial proinflammatory response and curcumin-mediated protection from staphylococcal toxic shock syndrome toxin-1. [PDF]
Staphylococcus aureus initiates infections and produces virulence factors, including superantigens (SAgs), at mucosal surfaces. The SAg, Toxic Shock Syndrome Toxin-1 (TSST-1) induces cytokine secretion from epithelial cells, antigen presenting cells ...

Suppression of starvation-induced autophagy by recombinant toxic shock syndrome toxin-1 in epithelial cells. [PDF]
Toxic shock syndrome toxin-1 (TSST-1), a superantigen produced from Staphylococcus aureus, has been reported to bind directly to unknown receptor(s) and penetrate into non-immune cells but its function is unclear.

Prevalence of Toxic Shock Syndrome Toxin 1 (TSST-1)-Producing Strains of Staphylococcus aureus and Antibody to TSST-1 among Healthy Japanese Women [PDF]
ABSTRACT Many cases of neonatal toxic shock syndrome (TSS)-like exanthematous disease but few cases of menstrual TSS (mTSS) have been reported in Japan. We determined the prevalence of mucosal colonization with Staphylococcus aureus and of positive antibodies to TSS toxin 1 (TSST-1) among 209 healthy ...

Physical Proximity With Social Support Regulates Vigilance to Threat: Evidence From Startle Reactivity During Emotional Stress Induction. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Access to social support during emotional stress is one of the most important factors for the successful regulation of stress‐induced psychophysiological activation, and is predictive of improved health and well‐being. In this research we wanted to deepen our understanding of this buffering effect, focusing on the modulation of the startle ...

In Silico Evaluation of a Mutant Toxic Shock Syndrome Toxin-1 (TSST-1) of Staphylococcus aureus as a Putative Vaccine Candidate [PDF]
Introduction: The development of a vaccine against Staphylococcus aureus has proven to be much more difficult than expected. In this study, we considered and analyzed a mutant Toxic Shock Syndrome Toxin-1 (TSST-1) as a potential vaccine candidate ...
