Abstract
Over four billion episodes of diarrhea occur annually in developing countries with diarrheagenic Escherichia coli (DEC) outbreaks also being reported, until now bacterial diarrhea is conventionally addressed by the antibiotic treatment regimes. In recent decades, the emergence of antimicrobial-resistant strains has become a major obstacle in diarrheal treatment; hence, novel and ideal therapeutics are needed. Notably, 80% of DEC is resistant to first-class antibiotics. Among the existing strategies, passive immunization is considered as an alternative to combat drug-resistant bacteria. Antibodies specific to an antigen can be used for prophylactic and therapeutic purposes. In this review, we have systematically discussed the effect of passive immunotherapy to combat DEC and explored the types and advancements in antibodies used against antibiotic-resistant DEC.

Abstract
Cholera toxin B subunit (CTB) is responsible for CT holotoxin binding to the cell and has been described as a mucosal adjuvant for vaccines. In this work, the ctxB gene was genetically fused to the psaA gene from Streptococcus pneumoniae, a surface protein involved in its colonization in the host that is also considered a vaccine antigen candidate against this pathogen. The CTB-PsaA fusion protein was expressed in Escherichia coli, and the purified protein was used for intranasal immunization experiments in Balb/C mice. CTB-PsaA was able to induce both systemic and mucosal antibodies evaluated in serum, saliva, and in nasal and bronchial wash samples, showing that CTB-PsaA is a promising molecule to be investigated as S. pneumoniae vaccine antigen candidate.

Abstract
We reported previously a direct correlation between reduced soybean agglutinin binding to 63- and 68-kDa midgut glycoproteins and resistance to Cry1Ac toxin from Bacillus thuringiensis in the tobacco budworm (Heliothis virescens). In the present work we describe the identification of the 68-kDa glycoprotein as a membrane-bound form of alkaline phosphatase we term HvALP. Lectin blot analysis of HvALP revealed the existence of N-linked oligosaccharides containing terminal N-acetylgalactosamine required for [125I]Cry1Ac binding in ligand blots. Based on immunoblotting and alkaline phosphatase activity detection, reduced soybean agglutinin binding to HvALP from Cry1Ac resistant larvae of the H. virescens YHD2 strain was attributable to reduced amounts of HvALP in resistant larvae. Quantification of specific alkaline phosphatase activity in brush border membrane proteins from susceptible (YDK and F1 generation from backcrosses) and YHD2 H. virescens larvae confirmed the observation of reduced HvALP levels. We propose HvALP as a Cry1Ac binding protein that is present at reduced levels in brush border membrane vesicles from YHD2 larvae.
