  13. Evidence that Clostridium perfringens Enterotoxin-Induced Intestinal Damage and Enterotoxemic Death in Mice Can Occur Independently of Intestinal Caspase-3 Activation [Host Response and Inflammation]

    • Infection and Immunity

    • Clostridium perfringens enterotoxin (CPE) is responsible for the gastrointestinal symptoms of C. perfringens type A food poisoning and some cases of nonfoodborne gastrointestinal diseases, such as antibiotic-associated diarrhea. In the presence of certain predisposing medical conditions, this toxin can also be absorbed from the intestines to cause enterotoxemic death. CPE action in vivo involves intestinal damage, which begins at the villus tips.

  14. Brucella Peptide Cross-Reactive Major Histocompatibility Complex Class I Presentation Activates SIINFEKL-Specific T Cell Receptor-Expressing T Cells [Cellular Microbiology: Pathogen-Host Cell Molecular Interactions]

    • Infection and Immunity

    • Brucella spp. are intracellular pathogenic bacteria remarkable in their ability to escape immune surveillance and therefore inflict a state of chronic disease within the host. To enable further immune response studies, Brucella was engineered to express the well-characterized chicken ovalbumin (OVA).

  15. Salmonella enterica Serovar Typhimurium CpxRA Two-Component System Contributes to Gut Colonization in Salmonella-Induced Colitis [Molecular Pathogenesis]

    • Infection and Immunity

    • Salmonella enterica, a common cause of diarrhea, has to colonize the gut lumen to elicit disease. In the gut, the pathogen encounters a vast array of environmental stresses that cause perturbations in the bacterial envelope. The CpxRA two-component system monitors envelope perturbations and responds by altering the bacterial gene expression profile. This allows Salmonella to survive under such harmful conditions.

  16. Critical Role of Zinc in a New Murine Model of Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli Diarrhea [Bacterial Infections]

    • Infection and Immunity

    • Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) is a major cause of traveler's diarrhea as well as of endemic diarrhea and stunting in children in developing areas. However, a small-mammal model has been badly needed to better understand and assess mechanisms, vaccines, and interventions. We report a murine model of ETEC diarrhea, weight loss, and enteropathy and investigate the role of zinc in the outcomes.

  24. [ASAP] Fabrication of a Flexible Gold Nanorod Polymer Metafilm via a Phase Transfer Method as a SERS Substrate for Detecting Food Contaminants

    • Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry

    • Surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) has been widely used in detection of food safety due to the nondestructive examination property. Here, we reported a flexible SERS film based on a polymer-immobilized gold nanorod polymer metafilm. Polystyrene–polyisoprene–polystyrene (SIS), a transparent and flexible, along with having excellent elasticity, polymer, was chosen as the main support of gold nanorods.
