Nonmenstrual toxic shock syndrome (nmTSS), linked to TSST-1-producing CC30 Staphylococcus aureus, is the leading manifestation of toxic shock syndrome (TSS). Due to case rarity and a lack of tractable animal models, TSS pathogenesis is poorly understood.

Toxic Shock Syndrome Toxin 1 Induces Immune Response via the Activation of NLRP3 Inflammasome
Staphylococcus aureus is a Gram-positive opportunistic pathogen which causes infections in a variety of vertebrates. Virulence factors are the main pathogenesis of S.

Does Aerobic Capacity Protect Against Stress? Insights From Two Stress-Induction Paradigms. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Prior evidence suggests that individuals with higher fitness exhibit attenuated endocrine and autonomic responses to acute psychological and physical stressors. However, it remains unclear whether this stress‐buffering effect depends on the type of stressor.

Serum antibody response to Staphylococcus aureus enterotoxins and TSST-1 in patients with septicaemia [PDF]
The prevalence of enterotoxins and toxic shock syndrome toxin (TSST-1) production in strains isolated from patients with Staphylococcus aureus septicaemia, and the serum antibody response in relation to toxin production in vitro of each isolate, were investigated. Among 63 strains of S.

Staphylococcal Superantigens Stimulate Epithelial Cells through CD40 To Produce Chemokines
Mucosal and skin tissues form barriers to infection by most bacterial pathogens. Staphylococcus aureus causes diseases across these barriers in part dependent on the proinflammatory properties of superantigens.

Structural basis of T‐cell specificity and activation by the bacterial superantigen TSST‐1 [PDF]
Superantigens (SAGs) bind simultaneously to major histocompatibility complex (MHC) and T-cell receptor (TCR) molecules, resulting in the massive release of inflammatory cytokines that can lead to toxic shock syndrome (TSS) and death. A major causative agent of TSS is toxic shock syndrome toxin-1 (TSST-1), which is unique relative to other bacterial ...

Shocking! The Effect of TSST‐1 in Toxic Shock Syndrome
Almost 20% of children who die of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome have a protein called Toxic Shock Syndrome Toxin‐1 (TSST‐1), produced by Staphylococcus aureus. This protein is also responsible for toxic shock and food poisoning. S. aureus produces this superantigen TSST‐1 to divert the immune system and multiply rapidly inside the body.

Detection of Toxic Shock Syndrome Toxin-1 among Children Undergoing Surgical Operations
Background: Toxic-shock syndrome (TSS) is an acute onset; multiorgan disease caused mainly by Toxic-shock syndrome toxin-1 (TSST-1) producing Staphylococcus aureus strains.Testing for TSST-1 or anti-TSST-1 antibodies in the clinical setting may help to ...
