Bacteriocin-producing bacteria are immune to the specific action of their toxin by virtue of a small immunity protein that binds and inactivates the toxin and which, in the case of nucleases, is jettisoned durin
In contrast to the regular β‐hemolysins produced by streptococci (typical CDCs and SLSs), genetically, structurally, and functionally atypical β‐hemolysins have been observed in AGS and MGS. These atypical β‐hemolysins are thought to affect and contribute to the pathogenic potential of ...

In the nineteenth century the advancement of science was largely due to an organized, descriptive effort associated with a number of important discoveries. It rested on a freeing of the intellect in a way that permitted scientific empiricism; it was aide
Haemolytic disease of the newborn (HDN) is a condition in which the lifespan of the infant's red cells is shortened by the action of specific antibodies derived from the mother. From: Basic Science in Obstetrics and Gynaecology (Fourth Edition), 2010 ...

The alarming number of recently reported human illnesses with bacterial infections resistant to multiple antibacterial agents has become a serious concern in recent years. This phenomenon is a core challenge for both the medical and animal health communi
In water solution, actinoporins remain mostly monomeric and stably folded but, upon interaction with lipid membranes of specific composition, they become oligomeric integral membrane structures. Thus, this family of proteins represents an optimal system to study the transition from a soluble monomeric ...

NHE is a non-redundant toxin to haemolysin BL (HBL) despite having a similar mechanism of action. Via a putative transmembrane region, subunit C of NHE initiates binding to the plasma membrane, leading to the recruitment of subunit B and subunit A, thus forming a tripartite lytic pore that ...
