Determination by western blot (immunoblot) of seroconversions to toxic shock syndrome (TSS) toxin 1 and enterotoxin A, B, or C during infection with TSS- and non-TSS-associated Staphylococcus aureus.
Serum antibody responses to toxic shock syndrome (TSS) toxin 1 (TSST-1) and staphylococcal enterotoxins A, B, and C were determined by western blot (immunoblot) analysis of acute- and convalescent-phase paired sera from 18 TSS- and 31 non-TSS-associated Staphylococcus aureus infections. Compared with non-TSS cases, seroconversion to TSST-1 was significantly more frequent among both menstrual (5...
متن کاملToxic Shock Syndrome (TSS)
Toxic Shock Syndrome, otherwise known as TSS, is a systemic infection that is associated with the bacteria Staphylococcus aureus [1]. S. aureus exists as part of the human body’s normal bacteria, and does not cause infection since most people develop antibodies against the bacteria. Infection can be result in people that have not developed these antibodies, or may develop in people that have an...
متن کاملProtection of rabbits in an infection model of toxic shock syndrome (TSS) by a TSS toxin-1-specific monoclonal antibody.
An anti-TSST-1-specific monoclonal antibody (MAb 8-5-7) was tested for its protective capacity in a rabbit infection model to toxic shock syndrome (TSS). The challenge strain of Staphylococcus aureus (RN4710), which contained a plasmid encoding TSS toxin-1, was introduced into previously implanted chambers. Purified monoclonal antibody (1.25 mg of immunoglobulin G) administered parenterally 1 d...
متن کاملTSS: A Hybrid Web Searches
Because of emergence of Semantic Web, It make possible for machines to understand the meaning of resources on the Web. The widespread availability of machine understandable information will impact on Information retrieval on the web. In this paper, we propose a hybrid web searches architecture, TSS, which combines the traditional search with semantic search to improve precision and recall. The ...
متن کاملProduction of toxic shock syndrome-like illness in rabbits by Staphylococcus aureus D4508: association with enterotoxin A.
Staphylococcus aureus D4508, obtained from a patient with nonmenstrual toxic shock syndrome (TSS), produced enterotoxin A while not making other known enterotoxins or TSS toxin 1. Concentrated culture fluids of the organism, administered subcutaneously in miniosmotic pumps, induced TSS-like symptoms (four of six animals succumbed). Identical culture fluids pretreated with anti-enterotoxin A ser...
