  1. Over-expression in Escherichia coli of the ToxA51 llama single domain antibody targeting Clostridium difficile enterotoxin A

    … neutralizing, Clostridium difficile toxin A (TcdA) has been developed. The antibiotic resistant version of C. difficile bacterium is of major health concern worldwide, particularly in hospital settings, causing severe gastrointestinal disorders. In this study, we investigated various …

  2. Computational Approaches To Anti-Toxin Therapies And Biomarker Identification

    … two large glucosylating toxins. These toxins, TcdA and TcdB cause severe intestinal damage. As Clostridium difficile harbors considerable antibiotic resistance, one treatment strategy is to prevent the tissue damage that the toxins cause. The catalytic glucosyltransferase domain of TcdA and …

  3. Hypervirulent Clostridium Difficile Strains: Adherence, Toxin Production and Sporulation

    … difficile </italic>strains produce two toxins (TcdA and TcdB) during the stationary phase of growth. It has been suggested that hypervirulent <italic> C. difficile </italic>strains produce higher amounts of toxin, and that a mutation in a negative regulator (TcdC) allows for toxin production at …

    … Coupled Dipole Array with Integrated Balun (TCDA-IB), and it achieves 7.35:1 bandwidth while maintaining a low VSWR of ≤ 2.65:1 while scanning to ± 45° in all planes. A prototype 8×8 array was constructed and demonstrated excellent performance relative to simulation. We also demonstrate that …

  7. Holin-dependent secretion of a large clostridial cytotoxin by C. perfringens

    … clostridial toxins (LCTs). These LCTs include TcdA and TcdB in C. difficile, TcsL and TcsH in P. sordellii, and TpeL in C. perfringens. LCTs bind and inactivate small GTPases in host mammalian cells, shutting down cell-signaling and eventually leading to cell death. Intriguingly, LCTs all lack …

  9. Clostridium difficile: expression of virulence factors, resistance to disinfectants and interactions with human cells

    … The transcription of the pathogenicity locus (tcdA-E) that regulates toxin production in C. difficile, and of spo0A, the initiator of sporulation, was studied. There were three key observations: firstly, the transcription of tcdC, the negative regulator of toxin production, did not decrease …
