  • (ACIP) General Best Guidance for Immunization
    Appendix 1: Glossary Adverse event. An undesirable medical condition that occurs following vaccination which might be truly caused by a vaccine, or it might be pure coincidence. Adverse reaction. An undesirable medical condition that has been demonstrated to be caused by a vaccine. Evidence for the causal relation is usually obtained through randomized clinical trials, controlled epidemiologic studies, isolation of the vaccine strain from the pathogenic site, or recurrence of the condition with repeated vaccination (i.e., rechallenge); synonyms include side effect and adverse effect. Adjuvant. A vaccine component distinct from the antigen that enhances the immune response to the antigen. Antitoxin. A solution of antibodies against a toxin. Antitoxin can be derived from either human (e.g., tetanus immune globulin) or animal (usually equine) sources (e.g., diphtheria and botulism antitoxin). Antitoxins are used to confer passive immunity and for treatment. Hyperimmune globulin (specific). Special preparations obtained from blood plasma from donor pools preselected for a high antibody content against a specific antigen (e.g., hepatitis B immune globulin, varicella-zoster immune globulin, rabies immune globulin, tetanus immune globulin, vaccinia immune globulin, cytomegalovirus immune globulin, botulism immune globulin). Immune globulin. A sterile solution containing antibodies, which are usually obtained from human blood. It is obtained by cold ethanol fractionation of large pools of blood plasma and contains 15%-18% protein. Intended for intramuscular administration, immune globulin is primarily indicated for routine maintenance of immunity among certain immunodeficient persons and for passive protection against measles and hepatitis A. General Best Practice Guidelines for Immunization: Appendix 1: Glossary 189 Immunobiologic. Antigenic substances (e.g., vaccines and toxoids) or antibody- containing preparations (e.g., globulins and antitoxins) from human or animal donors.

Although the most effective way to prevent these diseases is through vaccination, specific clostridial vaccines for horses against C. perfringens are not widely available.

  • Identification of a Toxin–Antitoxin System That Contributes to Persister Formation by Reducing NAD in Pseudomonas Aeruginosa
    microorganisms Article Identification of a Toxin–Antitoxin System That Contributes to Persister Formation by Reducing NAD in Pseudomonas aeruginosa Jingyi Zhou, Shouyi Li, Haozhou Li, Yongxin Jin, Fang Bai , Zhihui Cheng and Weihui Wu * State Key Laboratory of Medicinal Chemical Biology, Key Laboratory of Molecular Microbiology and Technology of the Ministry of Education, Department of Microbiology, College of Life Sciences, Nankai University, Tianjin 300071, China; [email protected] (J.Z.); [email protected] (S.L.); [email protected] (H.L.); [email protected] (Y.J.); [email protected] (F.B.); [email protected] (Z.C.) * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: Bacterial persisters are slow-growing or dormant cells that are highly tolerant to bactericidal antibiotics and contribute to recalcitrant and chronic infections. Toxin/antitoxin (TA) systems play important roles in controlling persister formation. Here, we examined the roles of seven predicted type II TA systems in the persister formation of a Pseudomonas aeruginosa wild-type strain PA14. Overexpression of a toxin gene PA14_51010 or deletion of the cognate antitoxin gene PA14_51020 increased the bacterial tolerance to antibiotics. Co-overexpression of PA14_51010 and PA14_51020 or simultaneous deletion of the two genes resulted in a wild-type level survival rate following antibiotic Citation: Zhou, J.; Li, S.; Li, H.; treatment. The two genes were located in the same operon that was repressed by PA14_51020. Jin, Y.; Bai, F.; Cheng, Z.; Wu, W. We further demonstrated the interaction between PA14_51010 and PA14_51020. Sequence analysis Identification of a Toxin–Antitoxin revealed that PA14_51010 contained a conserved RES domain.

  • Diphtheria Antitoxin
    Diphtheria Antitoxin: Market Update UNICEF Supply Division February 2017 0 Diphtheria Antitoxin Market Update February 2017 1. Summary Following the World Health Organization’s (WHO) Strategic Advisory Group of Experts (SAGE) meeting in October 2016, having expressed concern over the reported lack of diphtheria antitoxin (DAT) serum and recommendations to resolve global shortages,1 UNICEF shares current information on DAT serum supply availability, and its recommendations for future supply to meet emergency requirements. DAT supply availability from manufacturers has been limited for many years. UNICEF does not anticipate any change to this situation, and expects continued shortage through 2017. Countries should continue to monitor closely their DAT stock inventories and take appropriate and early actions to replenish, due to the limited supply availability. UNICEF will work with WHO and the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC), to monitor supply availability and review quality assurance standards, as well as seek additional options for supply. 2. Background Diphtheria is a potentially acute bacterial disease caused by the toxin from Corynebacterium diphtheria. Most cases are asymptomatic or relatively mild. However, the disease can affect the upper respiratory tract and heart, and lead to high case fatality rates.2 Symptoms include weakness, sore throat, fever, swollen neck glands, as well as breathing and swallowing difficulty. Diphtheria spreads through direct contact and droplet transmission from infected
