Bacillus anthracis is the cause of anthrax, and two large plasmids are essential for toxicity: pXO1, which contains the toxin genes, and pXO2, which encodes a capsule. B. anthracis forms a highly monomorphic lineage within the B. cereus group, but strains of Bacillus thuringiensis and B. ce...
2. Anthrax toxin structure, assembly, and function Anthrax toxin is an AB type tripartite exotoxin secreted by a large Gram-positive, rod-shaped, spore-forming aerobic bacterium, Bacillus anthracis. The toxin is composed of two enzymatic A components, Lethal Factor (LF) and Edema Factor (EF)...
This is due to the production of a tripartite toxin, the central role of which in aninrax was aiscoverea by Harry nith. ANTHRAX has many claims to fame, not least that it is the only bacterial disease to have a heavy-metal group named after it! It is caused by a Gram-positive, ...
What virus is a common cause of foodborne illness, and how is it transmitted? Which of the following is the correct scientific name for the bacterium that causes anthrax?\\ (a) bacillus Anthracis\\ (b) Bacillus Anthracis\\(c) Bacillus anthracis. Which of the following diseases are caused ...
While financial markets may believe there are too many biotechnology companies in the world, research suggests that the opposite is true. Bazley,Kevin - 《Nature Biotechnology》 被引量: 1发表: 1999年 Designing a polyvalent inhibitor of anthrax toxin. Screening peptide libraries is a proven strategy...
Listeria monocytogenes, Helicobacter pylori, Campylobacter jejuni and other bacteria. It can also inhibit enterotoxin and toxic shock syndrome. The synthesis of toxin-1, streptococcal pyrogenic exotoxins and anthrax toxins and reduces the secretion of pro-inflammatory factors in epithelial cells. Sucrose ...
This chapter focuses on microbial forensics and its future. Microbial forensics as a discipline has been affected dramatically by the anthrax-letter attacks and the intense effort associated with the Amerithrax investigation. The Amerithrax case involved highly sophisticated technologies and the development...

The RTX-activating acyltransferase catalyzes the covalent attachment of two fatty acids to conserved lysine residues within the RTX toxin. This modification is required in all pore-forming RTX toxins; however, its exact function in RTX toxicity is not fully understood. Toxin secretion from the ...
