Article Synopsis
  • Researchers identified a new species of bacteria related to skin infections in patients with atopic dermatitis (AD) by analyzing lesions and conducting genome sequencing.
  • The isolated bacteria produce a protein similar to staphylococcal enterotoxin Y (SEY), which activates T cells in a different way than other known superantigens, primarily through the T-cell receptor (TCR) Vα pathway.
  • Immunological tests showed that this new protein, called SargEY, can stimulate T-cell proliferation and has the potential to worsen skin conditions in AD patients.

Background And Aim: Staphylococcal enterotoxin B (SEB) is the most common serotype involved in food poisoning. The aim of this study was to develop immunoassay detection methods using a recombinant enterotoxin B antigen protein to produce recombinant polyclonal antibodies .

Materials And Methods: isolated from a food poisoning case (strain JH5800) was analyzed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and confirmed to contain a gene of 477 bp.

Background And Aim: The emergence of methicillin-resistant (MRSA) as a highly pathogenic strain in veterinary and human medicine is a growing global problem. This study aimed to evaluate MRSA isolates of human and animal origin against various antibiotics in Yogyakarta, Indonesia.

Materials And Methods: The susceptibility test was carried out by the disk diffusion method using Mueller-Hinton agar against nine antibiotic disks.

Background And Aim: produces various superantigen exotoxins, including staphylococcal enterotoxin B (SEB). It causes fatal anaphylactic reactions and toxic shock. This study aimed to evaluate the reaction of leukocytes and histopathological changes in the respiratory organs of Balb/c mice after intranasal infection with enterotoxigenic (SEB).

Background And Aim: Guinea pigs (GPs) () are not only kept as pets but also widely used in biological and biomedical research. At present, GPs are also used as a species for animal-assisted therapy (AAT). Consequently, assessing their health status is vital to determining their quality of life, usability for research, and prevention of spread of potential zoonotic diseases to patients using them for AAT.
