General description

Staphylococcal α toxin, a water soluble 33kD single polypeptide, is a cytotoxic agent secreted by Staphylococcus aureus. This protein has membrane damaging properties and accounts for erythrocyte lysis. Hence it is also referred to as lethal hemolytic toxin or α-hemolysin . Anti-staphylococcal α-toxin antibody can be used for studies of the toxin-membrane interaction. Rabbit anti-staphylococcal α-toxin antibody reacts specifically with staphylococcal α-toxin but not with staphylococcal enterotoxin A, cholera toxin or pseudomonas exotoxin A.

Candida albicans and Staphylococcus aureus are among the most prevalent nosocomial pathogens that are responsible for severe morbidity and mortality, even with appropriate treatment. Using a murine model of polymicrobial intra-abdominal infection (IAI), we have previously shown that coinfection with

alpha-Toxin, a lethal hemolytic toxin secreted by Staphylococcus aureus, forms ionic channels of large size in lipid membranes. To investigate the mechanism of channel assembly we have studied the kinetics of pore formation on small unilamellar vesicles. We have used

Staphylococcus aureus is a commensal and frequent colonizer of the upper respiratory tract. When mechanical ventilation disrupts natural defenses, S. aureus is frequently isolated from the lower airways, but distinguishing between colonization and infection is difficult. The objectives of this

The emergence of antibiotic resistance in Staphylococcus aureus has necessitated the development of innovative anti-infective agents acting on novel targets. Alpha-hemolysin (Hla), a key virulence factor of S. aureus, is known to cause various cell damage and death. In this

The plethora of virulence factors associated with Staphylococcus aureus make this bacterium an attractive candidate for a molecularly-designed epitope-focused vaccine. This approach, which necessitates the identification of neutralizing epitopes for incorporation into a vaccine construct, is being evaluated for pathogens
