متن کاملProinflammatory Mediators of Toxic Shock and Their Correlation to Lethality
Bacterial exotoxins and endotoxins both stimulate proinflammatory mediators but the contribution of each individual toxin in the release of mediators causing lethal shock is incompletely understood. This study examines the cytokine response and lethality of mice exposed to varying doses of staphylococcal enterotoxin B (SEB) or lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and their combinations. In vivo, SEB alone ...
متن کاملIdentification of Toxic Shock Syndrome Toxin-1 (TSST-1) gene in Staphylococcus aureus isolated from bovine mastitis milk
Staphylococcus aureus is a major causative pathogen of clinical and subclinical mastitis of dairy domestic ruminants. This agent produces a variety of extracellular toxins and virulence factors including Toxic Shock Syndrome Toxin-1 (TSST-1) which is the major cause of Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS). In this study 58 S. aureus isolates obtained from 9 dairy herds in East and West Azerbaijan provinc...
متن کاملCharacterization of staphylococci from patients with toxic shock syndrome.
Fifty staphylococcal strains that produced toxic shock syndrome (TSS) toxin 1 and that were isolated from patients with TSS were characterized. One strain had more properties that were characteristic of Staphylococcus hyicus than of Staphylococcus aureus. Forty-four strains had the same properties or differed in only one property. Thirty-five of the 50 strains produced either enterotoxin A or C...
متن کاملCharacterization of three Staphylococcus aureus isolates from a 17-year-old female who died of tampon-related toxic shock syndrome.
We report the identification and characterization of three Staphylococcus aureus isolates recovered from throat and vaginal cultures, as well as from an axillary abscess, of a 17-year-old female who died of tampon-related toxic shock syndrome. The three S. aureus isolates were unrelated as determined by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis. The vaginal isolate was mecA, Panton-Valentine leukocidin,...
