Human Infection with Fusobacterium necrophorum (Necrobacillosis), with a Focus on Lemierre's Syndrome
TL;DR: F. necrophorum is unique among non-spore-forming anaerobes, first for its virulence and association with Lemierre's syndrome as a monomicrobial infection and second because it seems probable that it is an exogenously acquired infection.
Journal ArticleDOI
Staphylococcal and Streptococcal Superantigen Exotoxins
Adam R. Spaulding,Wilmara Salgado-Pabón,Petra L. Kohler,Alexander R. Horswill,Donald Y.M. Leung,Patrick M. Schlievert,Patrick M. Schlievert +6 more
TL;DR: The review discusses the major known and possible human disease associations with superantigens, including associations with toxic shock syndromes, atopic dermatitis, pneumonia, infective endocarditis, and autoimmune sequelae to streptococcal illnesses.
Journal ArticleDOI
Interactions between influenza and bacterial respiratory pathogens: implications for pandemic preparedness
TL;DR: There is strong and consistent evidence of epidemiologically and clinically important interactions between influenza and secondary bacterial respiratory pathogens, including during the 1918 pandemic, which prompted major focuses of pandemic-related research, prevention, and response planning.
Journal ArticleDOI
Secreted virulence factor comparison between methicillin-resistant and methicillin-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus, and its relevance to atopic dermatitis
Patrick M. Schlievert,Kristi L. Strandberg,Ying Chi Lin,Marnie L. Peterson,Donald Y.M. Leung +4 more
TL;DR: Significant differences seen in production of secreted virulence factors by CA-MRSA versus hospital- associated methicillin-resistant S aureus and community-associated methicillus-sensitive S a Aureus strains appear to be a result of the need to specialize as the result of energy drains from both virulence factor production and methiillin resistance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Models matter: the search for an effective Staphylococcus aureus vaccine
TL;DR: It is suggested that an over-reliance on rodent models and a focus on targeting cell surface components have been major contributing factors to this failure of S. aureus vaccine trials.
