TL;DR: RT-HDA combined with LFA is more sensitive than RT-LAMP, and it is a good alternative for the development of point-of-care tests for SARS-CoV-2 detection as this method is simple, inexpensive, practical, and does not require qualified personnel to perform the test and interpret its results.
New Corynebacterium Species with the Potential to Produce Diphtheria Toxin
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors present the mechanism of diphtheria toxin expression and action, recently described novel species of NTTB corynebacteria as well as the taxonomic changes within the C.diphtheriae group.

TL;DR: The LAMP assay developed in the study is highly sensitive, specific, inexpensive, easy to use, and suitable for low-resource settings and might be applied for point-of-care testing of diphtheria and other C.diphtheriae infections as well as for other infections caused by diphTheria-toxin producing Corynebacterium species.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors compare the elimination of Bordetella pertussis clinical isolates, representing different genotypes in relation to alleles encoding virulence factors (MLST), MLVA type (multi-locus variable-number tandem repeat analysis) and PFGE group (pulsed-field gel electrophoresis) from the lungs of naive mice or mice were immunised with the commercial whole-cell pertussis ǫ vaccine, the acellular ǒ vaccine, and the experimental wholecell ǔ vaccine.
Adjuvant Effect of Whole-Cell Pertussis Component on Tetanus Toxoid Potency in Murine Model
TL;DR: In this article , the results of the assay of the potency of the tetanus component combined with the diphtheria component and whole-cell pertussis vaccine (DTwP) were presented.
