Staphylococcus aureus α-Toxin: Nearly a Century of Intrigue - MDPI Staphylococcus aureus secretes a number of host-injurious toxins, among the most prominent of which is the small β-barrel pore-forming toxin α-hemolysin Initially named based on its properties as a red blood cell lytic toxin, early studies suggested a far greater complexity of α-hemolysin action as nucleated cells also exhibited distinct responses to intoxication The hemolysin, most aptly
Bacillus thuringiensis Toxins: An Overview of Their Biocidal . . . - MDPI Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) is a Gram positive, spore-forming bacterium that synthesizes parasporal crystalline inclusions containing Cry and Cyt proteins, some of which are toxic against a wide range of insect orders, nematodes and human-cancer cells These toxins have been successfully used as bioinsecticides against caterpillars, beetles, and flies, including mosquitoes and blackflies Bt
Shiga Toxins: An Update on Host Factors and Biomedical Applications - MDPI Shiga toxins (Stxs) are classic bacterial toxins and major virulence factors of toxigenic Shigella dysenteriae and enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) These toxins recognize a glycosphingolipid globotriaosylceramide (Gb3 CD77) as their receptor and inhibit protein synthesis in cells by cleaving 28S ribosomal RNA They are the major cause of life-threatening complications such as
Bacillus thuringiensis Toxins: Functional Characterization and . . . Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt)-based products are the most successful microbial insecticides to date This entomopathogenic bacterium produces different kinds of proteins whose specific toxicity has been shown against a wide range of insect orders, nematodes, mites, protozoa, and human cancer cells
Human Poisoning from Marine Toxins: Unknowns for Optimal . . . - MDPI Marine biotoxins are produced by aquatic microorganisms and accumulate in shellfish or finfish following the food web These toxins usually reach human consumers by ingestion of contaminated seafood, although other exposure routes like inhalation or contact have also been reported and may cause serious illness This review shows the current data regarding the symptoms of acute intoxication for
