Staphylococcal carriage and antibodies to toxic shock syndrome toxin 1 in Brazilian women
(1997-12-01)
A study of 215 women from different socioeconomic backgrounds in Botucatu, Brazil, was conducted to reveal possible clues why toxic shock syndrome (TSS) is seldom diagnosed in Brazil. Of the 215 women, 79 were colonized ...
Previous infection with Staphylococcus aureus strains attenuated experimental encephalomyelitis
(Biomed Central Ltd., 2014-01-09)
Background: Bacterial superantigens are potent T cell activators that can activate T cells with specificity for antigens of the central nervous system (CNS). In this study, we compared the effect of two S. aureus strains ...
Detection of enterotoxin and toxic shock syndrome toxin 1 genes in Staphylococcus, with emphasis on coagulase-negative staphylococci
(2007-04-30)
The detection of staphylococcal enterotoxins is decisive for the confirmation of an outbreak and for the determination of the enterotoxigenicity of strains. Since the recognition of their antigenicity, a large number of ...

Functional Analysis of the TCR Binding Domain of Toxic Shock Syndrome Toxin-1 Predicts Further Diversity in MHC Class II/Superantigen/TCR Ternary Complexes
(American Association of Immunologists, 2003-07)
Superantigens (SAGs) aberrantly alter immune system function through simultaneous interaction with lateral surfaces of MHC class II molecules on APCs and with particular variable regions of the TCR beta-chain (Vbeta). To ...
Staphylococcal enterotoxins: molecular aspects and detection methods
(2010)
Members of the Staphylococcus genus, especially Staphylococcus aureus, are the most common pathogens found in hospitals and in community-acquired infections. Some of their pathogenicity is associated with enzyme and toxin ...
