Presence of Neutrophil Extracellular Traps and Citrullinated Histone H3 in the Bloodstream of Critically Ill Patients

TL;DR: Investigation of relationships of the presence of NETs and Cit-H3 with the existence of bacteria in tracheal aspirate, SIRS, diagnosis, WBC count, and concentrations of IL-8, TNF-α, cf-DNA, lactate, and HMGB1 found no significant relationships.
Journal ArticleDOI

The EspB protein of enterohaemorrhagic Escherichia coli interacts directly with alpha-catenin.

TL;DR: It is concluded that EspB recruits α‐catenin at the EHEC adherence site by direct interaction, and that the recruitment of α‐ catenin is essential for EH EC‐induced A/E lesion formation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccination in rheumatoid arthritis patients receiving tocilizumab therapy

TL;DR: TCZ does not impair PPV23 immunogenicity in RA patients, whereas antibody responses may be reduced when TCZ is used as a combination therapy with MTX, which had a negative impact on vaccine efficacy.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Contribution of Suilysin to the Pathogenesis of Streptococcus suis Meningitis

TL;DR: The role of suilysin, a member of cholesterol-dependent cytolysins, in differential pathogenicity between ST1 and ST104 strains is investigated and it is suggested that it contributed to the higher bacterial density and enhanced inflammation in brain and increased mortality of meningitis in humans.
