Diptheria tox repressor Protein-DNA complexes Characteristics of the family: Function: The virulent phenotype of the pathogenic bacterium Corynebacterium diphtheriae is conferred by diphtheria toxin, whose expression is an adaptive response to low concentrations of iron. The expression of the toxin gene (tox) is regulated by the repressor diptheria tox which is activated by transition metal ions. Structure: Diptheria tox is a 225 residue protein binding DNA as a dimer. Each monomer consists of 6 helices and a short two-stranded beta-sheet, with helices 2 and 3 constituting the HTH motif. Binding: The DNA interacts with two dimers bound to opposite sides of the tox operator with each dimer interacting with two major groove regions. Together, the two HTH motifs (one in each dimer) bind a 24 base pair sequence.

Tetanus, Diptheria and Immunization What is tetanus? Tetanus, commonly known as lock jaw, is a disease caused by bacteria that live in soil and dirt. Infection occurs when the bacteria get into cuts and wounds. Tetanus causes serious and painful spasms of all the muscles. Tetanus can lead to locking of the jaw so the person cannot open the mouth or swallow. This can progress to death. What is diphtheria? Diphtheria is a disease caused by bacteria that is spread by close contact with someone who is infected with diphtheria. Diphtheria causes a thick coating to form in the nose, throat and airway. It can lead to breathing problems, heart failure, paralysis and death. What is the risk of infection with tetanus and diphtheria? Infection with either tetanus or diphtheria is very rare in people who are immunized against these diseases. In Canada, these diseases are very uncommon because of the routine immunization of children and adults. However, the diseases do still occur, especially in developing countries where immunization is not routine. Who should receive the vaccine?

Diphtheria, Pertussis, Tetanus, Polio and Haemophilus influenza B - Immunization Information What is Diphtheria? Diphtheria is a bacterial infection of the nose and throat that can lead to problems breathing. Diphtheria can cause heart failure and paralysis. One of every 10 people who get diphtheria dies from the disease. What is Pertussis? Pertussis, also called whooping cough, is a bacterial infection of the respiratory tract. It usually leads to severe coughing spells and problems with breathing that can last for weeks or months. Pertussis can cause pneumonia and sometimes inflammation of the brain (encephalitis). Infants are likely to be most severely affected by the disease. One of every 100 people who gets pertussis dies from the disease. What is Tetanus? Tetanus, also called lockjaw, is a bacterial infection of wounds. When bacteria enter a wound, they make poisons or toxins that cause the body’s muscles to go into spasm. The bacteria are commonly found in soil. Five of every 10 people who get tetanus die from the disease. What is Poliomyelitis?

diphthoria toxin: protein domains Diphtheria toxin (DT) was once a major killer of children before immunizations against the virus began in the late 1920s. Since then researchers have discovered it structure (after they isolated it from the bacterium that produces it) and have learned a lot about the workings of the toxin. The toxin has three domains- regions that have specific functions. They are shown in the figure below. The receptor-binding domain attaches itself to the receptor of the cell (a docking site outside of the cell [e.g. a cell located on the lining of your throat]). Then the transmembrane fragment penetrates the cell wall and drags the catalytic domain inside the cell. Once inside, the toxin starts its dirty work. [This information was gleaned from the paper "The crystal structure of diphtheria toxin" by Eisenberg , Choe, Bennett, Fujii, Curmi, Kantardjieff, and Collier. This paper was published in Nature , Volume 357, May 21, 1992.]

TETANUS AND DIPHTHERIA VACCINE (Td) Why get vaccinated? Tetanus (lockjaw) and diphtheria are serious diseases. Tetanus is caused by a germ that enters the body through a cut or wound. Tetanus causes serious painful spasms of all the muscles. It can lead to: "locking" of the jaw , so the patient cannot open his or her mouth or swallow. Diphtheria spreads when germs pass from an infected person to the nose or throat of others. Diphtheria causes a thick coating in the nose, throat, or airway. It can lead to: breathing problems, heart failure, paralysis, and death. Why should I get vaccinated? Vaccination is the best way to protect against tetanus and diphtheria. Because of vaccination, there are many fewer cases of these diseases. When should you get Td vaccine? Td is made for people 7 years of age or older. People who have not gotten at least 3 doses of any tetanus and diphtheria vaccine (DTP, DTaP or DT) during their lifetime should do so using Td. After a person gets the third dose, a Td dose is needed every 10 years all through life. Other vaccines may be given at the same time as Td.

Diphtheria - CPT #87060 With the availability of DPT vaccinations, the need for diphtheria testing has diminished drastically. The laboratory will provide these services on an "as needed" basis. If diphtheria cases are suspected, providers should collect a throat or nasopharyngeal specimen and submit on Amies, Stuarts, or similar transport media. Cultures will be grown and isolates will be identified and reported by genus and species in most cases within 5 working days. Normal value: negative.

DIPTHERIA, TETANUS AND PERTUSSIS VACCINES What you need to know before your child gets the vaccines. Diphtheria, tetanus (lockjaw), and pertussis (whooping cough) are serious diseases. Diphtheria and pertussis spread when germs pass from an infected person to the nose or throat of others. Tetanus is caused by a term that enters the body through a cut or wound. Diphtheria causes: a thick coating in the nose, throat or airway Tetanus causes: serious, painful spasms of all muscles Pertussis causes: coughing and choking for several weeks (makes it hard for infants to eat, drink or breathe) It can lead to: -breathing problems -heart failure -paralysis -death It can lead to: -"locking" of the jaw so the patient cannot open his or her mouth or swallow -death It can lead to: -pneumonia -seizures (jerking and staring spells) -death ABOUT THE VACCINES Benfits of Vaccination - Vaccination is the best way to protect against diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis. Because most children get the vaccines, there are now many fewer cases of these diseases. There would be many more cases if we stopped vaccinating children.

Diptheria Diphtheria is an uncommon disease caused by the Corynebacterium diphtheriae and the disease has two forms and cutaneous. Respiratory diphtheria is typically caused by toxin-producing (toxigenic) strains of C. diphtheriae; cutaneous disease can be caused by either toxigenic or nontoxigenic strains. In the respiratory form of the disease, a is formed; this membrane is usually visible on the or tonsils. Respiratory diphtheria begins 2-5 days after infection with C. diphtheriae. Symptoms of illness include a throat and low-grade that can progress to swelling of the neck from the inflammation, appearing like a "bull-neck". Persons may die from asphyxiation when the membrane obstructs . Other complications of respiratory diphtheria are caused by remote effects of the diphtheria toxin; these include myocarditis (inflammation of the ) and nerve paralysis. The illness can from several days to months if complications occur. Cutaneous diphtheria, caused by either toxigenic or nontoxigenic strains, is usually , typically consisting of non-distinctive sores or shallow ulcers and only rarely involving toxic complications.

Diptheria Diphtheria is an uncommon bacterial disease that has two forms respiratory and cutaneous. In the respiratory form of the disease, a membrane is formed that is usually visible on the throat or tonsils. Symptoms of illness include a sore throat and low-grade fever that can progress to swelling of the neck from the inflammation, causing a "bull-neck" appearance. Persons may die from asphyxiation when the membrane obstructs breathing. Other complications of respiratory diphtheria are caused by the diphtheria toxin; these include myocarditis (inflammation of the heart) and nerve paralysis. The illness can last from several days to months if complications occur. Cutaneous diphtheria, is often mild, usually consisting of non-distinctive sores or shallow ulcers and only rarely involving toxic complications. Because cutaneous diphtheria is seldom the source of respiratory infection, it is not a nationally reportable disease. Diphtheria was one of the most common causes of death among children in the pre-vaccine era in the early part of this century. Since the introduction and widespread use of the vaccine in the United States beginning in the 1920s and 1930s, diphtheria has been well controlled in the United States by immunization. In recent years, most cases in the United States have been related to importation. The last major outbreak was in Seattle in the 1970s. Between 1980 and 1993, 40 cases of diphtheria were reported, the majority of cases were among persons more than15 years of age. Of the 40 cases, the three fatal cases were unvaccinated children.
