Autophagy and Toxins: A Matter of Life or Death
(Bentham Science Publishers, 2012-12)
Bacterial protein toxins are important virulence factors. A particular class of toxins, the pore-form toxins (PFTs), shares the toxigenic mechanism of forming pores in the membrane of target cells. The relationship between ...
Bacillus sphaericus Entomocidal Potential Determined by Polymerase Chain Reaction
(Fundação Oswaldo Cruz. Instituto Oswaldo Cruz., 2020)
Functional analysis of toxins by clustering of their electrostatic potentials
(Ediciones Universidad Simón BolívarFacultad Ciencias Básicas y BiomédicasPrograma de Maestría en genética, 2018-12)
This is the first time, to our knowledge, that a structural description of the function of protein toxins has been addressed from a new perspective living behind the traditional approach of using common characteristic like ...
Distribution of additional virulence factors related to adhesion and toxicity in Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli isolated from raw products in Argentina
(Wiley, 2013-04)
A total of 73 Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) isolates, belonging to 25 serotypes and isolated from raw products in Argentina, were examined for the occurrence of genes responsible for bacterial adhesions to ...
Effects of Shiga toxin type 2 on maternal and fetal status in rats in the early stage of pregnancy
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2014-05)
Shiga toxin type 2 (Stx2), a toxin secreted by Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC), could be one of the causes of maternal and fetal morbimortality not yet investigated. In this study, we examined the effects ...
Effects of Clostridium perfringens iota toxin in the small intestine of mice
(2017-12)
Iota toxin is a binary toxin solely produced by Clostridium perfringens type E strains, and is structurally related to CDT from C. difficile and CST from C. spiroforme. As type E causes hemorrhagic enteritis in cattle, it ...
A Translational Murine Model of Sub-Lethal Intoxication with Shiga Toxin 2 Reveals Novel Ultrastructural Findings in the Brain Striatum
(Public Library Of Science, 2013-01-31)
Infection by Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli causes hemorrhagic colitis, hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS), acute renal failure, and also central nervous system complications in around 30% of the children affected. ...
