What is Overview of Bacterial Toxins about?
Bacterial toxins are by-products produced by pathogenic bacteria that can cause harm. There are two main types - exotoxins, which are released outside the bacterial cell, and endotoxins, contained in the cell wall of Gram-negative bacteria. Exotoxins include neurotoxins, enterotoxins, and enzymes that can impair host cell functioning. Bacterial toxins are the primary virulence factors for diseases like diphtheria, cholera, tetanus, and botulism, causing the major symptoms associated with these illnesses.
