Journal ArticleDOI

Proteolytic Degradation of Human Antimicrobial Peptide LL-37 by Bacillus anthracis May Contribute to Virulence

TL;DR: Findings suggest that alongside the classical plasmid-based virulence determinants, extracellular metalloproteases of B. anthracis may play a role in survival in the host.
Journal ArticleDOI

A rapid, highly sensitive method for the detection of Francisella tularensis in clinical samples using the polymerase chain reaction

TL;DR: A highly sensitive method based on a nested polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for the FopA gene that has significant advantages over traditional methods for diagnosing F. tularensis infection in terms of speed, ease of use, reproducibility, and safety.
Journal ArticleDOI

Development of vaccines against burkholderia pseudomallei.

TL;DR: This review considers the multiple elements of melioidosis vaccine research including the immune responses required for protective immunity, the animal models available for preclinical testing of potential candidates, the different experimental vaccine strategies which are being pursued, and the obstacles and opportunities for eventual registration of a licensed vaccine in humans.
Journal ArticleDOI

The ABC Transporter Protein OppA Provides Protection against Experimental Yersinia pestis Infection

TL;DR: The potential for ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter proteins to be exploited as novel vaccines against plague was evaluated and protection appeared to correlate with the level of immunoglobulin G antibody to OppA.
