In addition, comprehensive culture and toxin testing for C. difficile are lacking in many Asian hospitals.
Along with a comprehensive inventory of toxins and immunity proteins, we present several testable predictions regarding active sites and catalytic mechanisms of toxins, their processing and trafficking and their role in intra-specific and inter-specific interactions between bacteria.
A recent comprehensive study catalogs Toxin-Antitoxin (TA) partners by sequence similarity as well as "Guilt by association" (GA) technique in prokaryotic genomes.
As a result of the above searches, we were able to assemble a comprehensive inventory of toxins and immunity proteins, which we provide as a resource accompanying this article (Table 2, 3 and Additional File 1).
A series of coordinated interactions between the two major groups of receptor molecules in the mammalian innate immune system, the TLRs and NLRs, lead to comprehensive detection of toxins and 'stress' signals at both intracellular and extra-cellular levels, resulting in a specific response being mounted against a range of pathogens.
In order to gain a comprehensive view of the toxin gene diversity within these strains, we examined their presence and diversity from the draft genome data.
Because bee venom is a human toxin, a comprehensive characterization of its molecular composition, side effects, and toxicology is of paramount importance for the development safe pharmaceutical formulations to satisfy human demand.
ArachnoServer is a web-based resource that provides comprehensive information about protein toxins from spider venoms.
Daniel Haft, J. Craig Venter Institute This work by Makarova, Wolf, and Koonin reports results from a comprehensive study of prokaryotic toxin-antitoxin system (TAS) protein pairs.
We demonstrated de novo assembly and analysis of a venom-gland transcriptome using only Illumina sequences and provided a comprehensive characterization of both the toxin and nontoxin genes expressed in an actively producing snake venom gland.
